Listen to the new episode of Citizen Radio and subscribe to the free podcast.
Keystone XL pipeline is “game over for the climate,” which is why hundreds have risked arrest/been arrested protesting its construction. Thus far, the Obama administration doesn’t appear to be listening. Protest in sports, DOJ blocks AT&T merger, Dick Cheney is still very much a war criminal, and Pat Buchanan is still an old racist.
