While Big Oil swims in immense profits, it fails to fund developing-world damage & clean energy transition, & even blocks Congress’s efforts to help! This responsibility lies squarely on the fossil fuel industry’s doorstep — where greed & cruelty combine. theguardian.com/environment/…

Imagine watching Republicans openly become the party of mass shootings and forced birth and thinking, ‘Man, Democrats really need to get more moderate.’
Democrats in America are realising they must moderate or die from TheEconomist economist.com/briefing/2022/…

Dear journalists with integrity: please investigate & expose the lawyers (& law firms) who’ve been crafting all the cases that have been snaked up to the Supreme Court for these rulings.
This is a long-working scheme to intentionally destroy our democracy, crafted by lawyers.

Someone over there had to know this. Apparently they didn’t care…
BREAKING: Outraged to learn that Biden has named @Chevron lawyer Jennifer Rearden to be a federal judge. She was paid millions at @gibsondunn to help jail me, attack Indigenous peoples, and cover up a massive oil spill in the Amazon.
Biden must align with Planet Earth. Corrupt.

Still remembering the images of the white mob violently banging on windows at our convention center shouting to stop the vote count. This Senate vote enables this attack on our democracy. They don't want our votes to count or make a democracy accessible to all of us, just them.

Tonight will be remembered in history as the night that Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and Senate Republicans chose the racist legacy of Jim Crow over delivering voting rights.

This isn’t the sort of defeat that should discourage. This is the sort that should mobilize.
Democrats don’t need 10 or 20 more Senate seats to pass these bills.
They need two. That’s it. And if that fires Democrats up, rather than depressing them in 2022, it’s doable.
