Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran.
Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich.
Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.
I've seen strong critiques of the @mattyglesias op ed, most notably @SeanCasten's. Another point worth making: The whole essay hinges on the failure to take climate change seriously. Thread:
Trump declaring an "energy emergency" aggregating power so as to ram through unnecessary & deadly fossil-fuel development, is all the more infuriating becuz the Dems have refused to declare a climate emergency, leaving the space wide open for occupation by authoritarian interests
Powerful article about my pardon request to President Biden just posted on @RollingStone. With only 2 days left in his term, the President must act with urgency. 👊⬇️

President Biden just commuted the sentences of 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others. Happy for them, but disappointed I did not make the cut.
There are 40 days left in Biden’s term — please help me and the Amazon communities deliver justice to Chevron.⤵️ https://t.co/S4R2mF3wpP
BREAKING: A stunning 34 members of the US Congress — including @aoc, @berniesanders, and @repmcgovern — have sent a letter to President Biden calling on him to pardon me after I was targeted by Chevron with the nation’s first corporate prosecution. Grateful.

An equitable & publicly managed fossil fuel wind-down is possible.

.@KennethNanaAmo1: Korea, the world is watching. On December 10th, Korea can either join other countries in agreeing on a historic deal to end export finance for fossil fuels or hold back clean energy progress.
Which will it be @moefkorea_eng @MOTIEKoreaEng @MOFAkr_eng?
A historic deal to shift $41 billion per year out of fossil fuels to clean energy could be agreed tomorrow IF Türkiye stops blocking. @RTErdogan, @HMBakanligi - Türkiye must join with other countries & agree on an OECD deal to #StopFundingFossils: https://t.co/Dd6vj15zIp
🇺🇸 The US may join 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇴🇳🇿in forging a deal at the @OECD to end $41 billion/yr in public finance for fossil fuels.
🇰🇷Korea is now the biggest obstacle to a deal. Talks start TODAY.
@MOTIEKoreaEng @moefkorea_eng - don't block a clean energy future.

It's gonna get ugly. But there are cracks in the armor. In a world of overreach, shameless corruption, and unscrupulous pursuits of power, there are vulnerabilities to be exploited. With a loving jab at my Wolverines, it helps to know their game plan.

We recently published internal docs showing the o&g industry's roadmap for a Trump admin. Corporations got the trifecta they wanted. But they also highlighted the risks of R control.
Industry knows many of their policies are *deeply* unpopular, creating real vulnerabilities🔽
🚨BREAKING: The #NoFossilFuelMoney Pledge just reached 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ signers! That’s 5000 politicians committed to standing up to Big Oil and putting people and planet before industry profits.

The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals.
This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.
