John Yoo thinks that communities shouldn’t have the right to sue Big Oil for lying about the safety of their products. The law professor has also been accused of war crimes and been investigated for violations of domestic and international law. 🙄

Do you think the fossil fuel industry should be above the law? For months now, we’ve heard rumblings of Big Oil companies lobbying Congress for a get-out-of-jail free card. But in the last few weeks, their allies have started to say the quiet part out loud. CCI's @iylas.bsky.social explains.

Ten years ago, the world learned that #ExxonKnew as early as the 1970s that its fossil fuel business would fuel a climate crisis — but that they purposefully buried the science to protect their profits.

Big Oil is lobbying Congress for total immunity from any laws or lawsuits that could hold the industry accountable for fueling the climate crisis and lying about it. We can’t let that happen.

Chicago is known for its wind. But now climate change is bringing more extreme heat, flooding, and massive fluctuations in Lake Michigan's water levels—changes that are overwhelming the city. These damages have already cost the city billions, and Chicago now wants Big Oil to help pay the bill.

Our ability to hold Big Oil companies accountable for breaking the law is under attack. Communities across the country are fighting back. ✊

➡️Justice Samuel Alito owns thousands in stock in ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66. ➡️Justice Amy Coney Barrett's father worked as one of Shell's top attorneys for decades. So… just how deep are the ties between Big Oil and our U.S. Supreme Court justices? 🤔

Hail stones are expected get up to 75% BIGGER in the next few decades. 🤯 Worsening hail storms are already being observed in places like the Midwest, where home insurance premiums have skyrocketed in recent years. CCI's @kellysanks.bsky.social explains why Big Oil should help foot the bill.

Big Oil's top lobbying group, the American Petroleum Institute, has reported talking to members of Congress about draft legislation to stop state climate lawsuits. What a coincidence that Rep. Harriet Hageman happens to be drafting legislation to do exactly that. 🙄

We’re drowning in plastics, and Big Oil is to blame. CCI’s Richard Wiles sat down with @cnbc.com to explain how the plastics industry “sold” us the myth of plastic recycling to address growing calls for regulation — and ultimately, protect their social license to make even more plastic. 😭

By hook or by crook, Alberta government is committed to give separatists an opportunity to vote for breaking up Canada. Now it appears that the Premier wants to be the proponent of a separatism referendum, using the #ForeverCanadian question without First Nations consultation.

On this day in my crochet (and college) history, 1-23 years ago! At the end, I have an assorted group of college memories. At the 2 minute mark are pics of me on stage in the production that this recording is from. I played Cain. That’s me getting murdered by Abel. So that’s me singing Scarlatti.

When I arrived at the shelter today, I saw Petra lying in the middle of the enclosure, looking so sad and unhappy... Then I noticed blood at the entrance of her house. With great effort, we managed to take her and rushed to the hospital, only to be shocked by what we discovered.

On Saturday, Deir Qanoun al-Nahr in the Tyre district bid farewell to paramedics Ahmad Hariri, Hussein Kassir and Ali Ghassani, who were killed while responding to an Israeli strike on the town on Friday.

Olivia Troye worked inside Trump’s administration, testified against him when it cost something, and never looked back. Now she’s running for Congress in Virginia. She knows every move in his playbook. Every single one. He should be very, very nervous.

This election is bigger than one seat. It is about stopping Trump’s drift toward authoritarian power and protecting democracy itself. Every supporter must help neighbours, seniors, and busy parents reach the booth. Democracies survive only when citizens show up and vote.

The historic Alfred Street Baptist Church announced it would fund the Black student government whose funding was cut at Mizzou over DEI restrictions “We take care of our own people,” said Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley.

I’m the only candidate in this race who is a mom. I drive a minivan, push a shopping cart, and I actually know how much groceries cost. And I know what it takes to make life more affordable for California families.

In an alternate universe, I imagine that all of the main line trains were Thomas the Tank engine - you couldn’t go on a train journey and be mad

Thunder get lost in match ups in transition no one picks up Vassell after he grabs the rebound and gets the three. Hartenstein is pointing for Chet to Wemby but he never covers for Chet.
