If you heat your home with heating oil....that's basically diesel.

Now is a good time for a heat pump upgrade; some utilities are offering nice incentives to do so.

The war on Iran exposed a brutal truth: when fossil fuel supply chains break, people pay more for essentials while oil, gas and petrochemical giants cash in.

It’s time to end fossil fuel dependence and turn off the plastic tap with a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty.

“LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT, which the U.S. Supreme Court, in its ridiculous & very costly Tariff decision, strongly acknowledged ‘the President’ has an absolute right to do. IT’S BETTER THAN TARIFFS!”Trump posted on Truth Social.

The blame falls right on the greedy CEOs, investors, etc. Glad they are being warned. If people have to fret about where they are going to get $30 for a donut, fast food coffee and a couple gallons of gas to get to their extremely low return paying job(s), at least its nice to know that the CEOs have to worry they are being hunted like prey. #USpol #Inflation #Economy

Cops Warn CEO Bodyguards That #LuigiMangione Fever Could Spark #ClassWar

Cops warned corporate bodyguards that “challenges faced by the middle and lower classes” might spur attacks on wealthy #CEOS.

By Glen Stellmacher, Noah Hurowitz
June 25 2026, 1:38 p.m. ET

"A law enforcement intelligence hub in New Jersey fretted that the growing class divide in the U.S. could drive a wave of lone-wolf attacks on high-flying corporate executives, according to a report obtained by The Intercept.

"The New Jersey Regional Operations and Intelligence Center, one of the so-called #FusionCenters that serve as intelligence clearinghouses for cops, warned in a bulletin earlier this year that disaffected Americans were increasingly blaming society’s ills on #RichPeople and #CorporateBigwigs.

"The report specifically cited the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024 — allegedly by Luigi Mangione — as an expression of #AntiFatCat rhetoric. To the analysts at the New Jersey fusion center, Thompson’s killing hinted at a larger trend.

" 'Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy #corporateexecutives,' the fusion center memo says.

"By warning corporate security outfits of the danger posed by average Americans who blame their problems on the actions of corporate executives, the report effectively dedicates public resources to securing a private system that has made the few extremely wealthy at the expense of the many."

Today in Labor History June 8, 1852: The earliest recorded strike by Chinese immigrants to the U.S. occurred when Chinese stonemasons, who were brought to San Francisco to build the three-story Parrott granite building, went on strike for higher pay. Thousands of workers who labored in the hills during the gold rush, would come to San Francisco each winter to find work away from the icy blizzards, creating even greater competition for the limited jobs and housing that was available. On top of this, prices in San Francisco for housing, food, and other goods, were often 10-20 times more expensive than the rest of the country due to the inflation caused by the Gold Rush. It was actually cheaper to ship one’s clothes to Hawaii to be laundered than to have it done locally. And racism against the Chinese was rampant and violent.
