The way to stop Big Oil from using disinfo to block local clean energy projects is to give local communities a stake in the projects. (If not ownership!)

2/7 Just 122 companies are responsible for more than 94% of all industrial CO2 emissions since 1959 and 75% since 1981 - time frames in which they had clear scientific evidence that their products were contributing to climate change.

Decades of Deceit Why the case against the major fossil fuel companies for fraud and climate damages is so strong.

1/7 Check out a new UCS report, "Decades of Deceit: The Case Against Major Fossil Fuel Companies for Climate Fraud and Damages." Drawing on dozens of internal industry documents, it provides a decades-long review of the fossil fuel industry's campaign of disinformation and delay on climate action:

Another great example of how the United States uses its diplomatic missions to pressure other governments not to regulate its tech companies.

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

People must stop trying to win by wordsmithing.

This isn’t a debate; it’s a power struggle, and we’re arguing about which knife to bring to the gunfight.

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

This open, gleeful corruption gets you kicked out of office in most parliamentary systems, and pretty speedily. in the US, people just wonder how they can get in on it.

It was “God’s will”: Cash Prize Awarded to Anti-Trans Fencer For Forfeiting “It will destroy my life,” said the athlete, who’s anti-trans discrimination earned her $5,000 from a rightwing group.

Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation.

It’s an essential step in the process.

Portland OR Hands Off Rally

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING
#handsoff

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Spent the day in Algonquin, which is located in the traditionally red McHenry County.

Thousands of people lined up for at least a half mile. You could barely talk because passing cars kept honking and cheering us on.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Amazing that a political ad can make me feel even more Canadian. Esp as one living in DC. Go team Canada
