1/ 🧵At #COP30@GovMLG & @GavinNewsom touted climate leadership. But frontline leaders called them out: both expanded fossil fuel extraction + pushed false solutions (hydrogen/carbon capture) Communities demand a just transition @puebloalliance@ips_DC https://t.co/iqvEDCE586
While families struggle to pay rent, buy groceries, and keep the lights on—Trump’s budget gives $18B in NEW tax breaks to Big Oil billionaires.
It guts Medicaid, SNAP, and clean energy.
Families will pay the price.
We’re fighting back. #FamiliesOverBigOil
2/ John Beard of the Port Arthur Community Action Network spoke about LNG exports from Texas oil fields to EU shores.
"This gas makes us a sacrifice zone - it's poisonous, it spreads cancer, heart, lung & kidney disease. It damages our coastline & communities and it has to stop."
1/ Today, 188 U.S. groups call on EU Commissioners to refuse to bow to the Trump admin's pressure to increase reliance on U.S. #LNG & other fossil fuel imports.
The EU must avoid sinking public money into risky, expensive & environmentally destructive LNG.

The Dakota Access Pipeline crosses Sioux Nation treaty and aboriginal land for hundreds of miles; there was violence against protesters by law enforcement and Energy Transfer security and Tribal burials were destroyed because of DAPL.
This is injustice. https://t.co/pVPQqwKG8u
The oil and gas industry makes enough billions without our tax dollars to line their pockets too. Defund Big Oil, not environmental justice. @leemzeldin@WhiteHouse

This administration hates low income people, Black people, and Indigenous people and they show that with every action they take.
They’re cutting grants for environmental justice but allowing $20 BILLION (every year) in taxpayer handouts to the oil and gas industry to continue.
UPDATE: I just cancelled another 21 wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants, with the help of our amazing @DOGE team, racking up $67M more in savings! https://t.co/NKPc6sURqs
It's time to go on the offensive. Our tax dollars shouldn't line the pockets of polluters. #EndPolluterHandouts
Join us and take action at https://t.co/yWAwnkw10G
Fossil fuel corporations are raking in record profits, fueling climate disasters, and getting billions in handouts.
It’s time to end these giveaways and hold polluters accountable.
Yesterday, we helped launch a new campaign to 🛑stop 🛑Congress from giving taxpayer $$ to the oil and gas companies that are poisoning our communities & torching our planet.

We're LIVE at the DNC Election calling to Reject Corporate Money. Democrats must be a TRUE OPPOSITION PARTY to Trump & the Oligarchs!
"Our Rev leader Joseph Geevarghese: "76% of the grassroots have No Confidence in the Dem Party to be a true Opposition Party to fight Trump & the Oligarchs — due to the corrosive influence of Big Money!"
"To fight Trump & the Oligarchs taking over our govt, we need a party that doesn't accept money from people like Reid Hoffman, that's not corrupted by Big Money. These industries are now aligned with Trump!
"There's a wholesale corporate takeover of the United States of America! Our children will have a future of climate destruction & AI. The Dirty Deal is coming from the unholy alliance between Big Tech & Big Oil. Billionaires out, Workers in!" #TransformtheParty
Texas activists said, "As we meet with Japanese financial institutions and policymakers, we carry a clear message: The human cost of Japan's LNG investments can no longer be ignored...
This time, we're taking our fight directly to the source of the money."
Japanese-financed gas and LNG facilities are poisoning the air in Gulf South communities. This week, leaders from those communities are in Tokyo demanding that Japanese banks stop financing methane gas expansion. Read more 👇: https://t.co/GhtdhN9XUH
That guy in the red tie is Chris Wright. He’s the CEO of the second biggest fracking company in North America, and the nominee for Energy Secretary.
He’s also a climate denier.
Big Oil doesn’t belong in government. Call your Senators and tell them to VOTE NO.
Chris Wright has no business being our next Energy Secretary. What, so he can further deregulate his polluting industry?
That’s why young people are demanding to be heard, because it’s our futures on the line if climate deniers and Big Oil continue to get their way.
We're outside fracking CEO Chris Wright's Senate confirmation hearing. As fires level entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles, the last thing we need is to put an oil CEO in charge of energy policy. https://t.co/EefASzBiCW
