Everyone should be fighting for Universal Healthcare and disability rights. Health is fragile. You can become disabled or chronically ill in an instant. It’s not a moral failing. It can wipe out your savings and leave you destitute. Healthcare is a basic human right.

To produce gasoline, refineries MUST produce diesel. If Trump were to implement a diesel export ban, within a month refineries would have to begin closing because there would be no space to store the 40 million barrels of excess diesel that can’t be exported. 2/3

A short lesson on diesel exports: Each day, the US produces about 1.3 million more barrels of diesel than it consumes and ranks among the world’s largest exporters of diesel. The high price of diesel in the USA is NOT due to a shortage. The price is high because it is set by world markets. 1/3
