Big Oil is facing dozens of lawsuits over its decades-long climate deception. Rather than face a jury, Big Oil is now lobbying Congress for a legal shield. “We should not be putting the interests of a corporate entity over the interests of our citizens," says Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill.

@iylas.bsky.social pointed out why the insurance industry needs to break up with Big Oil.
Big Oil is setting up some complicated plays to escape accountability, but communities are playing offense. 🏀 CCI’s Managing Attorney Corey Riday-White breaks down where the lawsuits against Big Oil currently stand — and why the industry's defense is starting to fall apart.
Former Washington Governor Jay Inslee is right: “People don't like being lied to.” When corporations lie, they should be held accountable. "The fossil fuel industry [has] been lying to the American people for decades. They knew their product was going to cause enormous harm."
➡️ Big Oil companies are scared to face the evidence of their lies. The fossil fuel industry followed the same playbook Big Tobacco used decades earlier to deny the dangers of its products—and we all saw how juries responded to that.
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. 🙄
"Big Oil's decades of deception have kept us hooked on fossil fuels, and now American people are paying for it through $1 trillion a year in climate damages," said @jayapal.house.gov. Our ability to hold Big Oil accountable must be protected.
Plastic costs U.S. taxpayers as much as $1.1 trillion per year, according to a new report from Duke University. The Big Oil companies that are making a fortune from producing plastic are counting on us not noticing that we’re being robbed.
NPR’s @michaelcopley1.bsky.social asked about growing calls for insurance companies to take steps to make fossil fuel companies pay for climate damages. “There’s a real price tag” to climate disasters and “someone needs to pay for that,” said Ben Franta of @smithschool.ox.ac.uk
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.
In 1998, API — Big Oil's largest trade association — declared that “victory will be achieved when average citizens ‘understand’ (recognize) uncertainties in climate science.” CCI's Kert Davies explains why the "Victory Memo" is now considered one of the ugliest documents in climate denial history.

Happiness isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s the deep breath, the quiet moment, the small win you almost miss. You don’t need a perfect life, just the awareness to notice what already brings you peace. That’s where healing begins 💙✨ #mattsfoundation #mentalhealth #healing

Michigan's universities are a part of what makes our state such a powerhouse. And yet, Republicans want to gut them.
When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, and for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people,and for the people,there's only one solution,and that's impeachment and removal
