Elizabeth Warren blasts the plastic straw debate as a fossil fuel industry distraction tactic

"Give me a break."

Highly recommended.

"'Oh, come on, give me a break,' Warren said in response to the lightbulb question, in one of the breakout moments of the night. 'This is exactly what the fossil fuel industry wants us to talk about. ... They want to be able to stir up a lot of controversy around your lightbulbs, around your straws, and around your cheeseburgers, when 70 percent of the pollution, of the carbon that we’re throwing into the air, comes from three industries.'

"As the New York Times noted, the industries Warren homed in on as most directly contributing to carbon pollution were 'the building industry, the electric power industry and the oil industry.

"Warren’s response speaks to how the fossil fuel industry and other corporate giants are eager to shift the framing of subjects like lightbulbs and paper straws, in order to put the focus on consumer choice and deflect from the larger issue of reducing pollution."

It is refreshing to see a congresswoman, who is unencumbered by corporate cash, speak truth to power.

Clexa fic recs

I had an anon ask for clexa fic recs so I just figured I would create a list divided into 100 universe and modern au fics of a few that are my favs (by no means is it exhaustive. I have tons of favs). I’m gonna add some little descriptive tags under each. They are in no particular order btw. 

Yes, I do know that a lot of people in the fandom already know about these fics but some don’t so yeah that’s why I’m posting. Also I really want people to send me fic recs (please no Lexa g!p, that’s not my thing) so here’s a good idea of some stuff I’ve already read. 

One last thing, since these were placed on a public forum, ao3, I didn’t think authors would mind my sharing them here. That being said, if you are one of the authors of one of the fics I recommend and you want it removed just message me. Now, let the fun begin.
