BDS atualizou os alvos prioritários, de pressom e de campanhas orgânicas. Boicota essas empresas agora pola sua cumplicidade na ocupaçom, apartheid e genocídio contra os palestinos. Acabar com toda a cumplicidade estatal, corporativa e institucional com Israel e coa cumplicidade na opressom é umha obrigaçom moral sempre.

The lawsuit follows similar suits by eight other states and the District of Columbia against major oil companies, all alleging complicity in climate change. Those states are New Jersey, California, Delaware, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island

"The state of Maine has filed a lawsuit against five major oil companies and their top lobbying group, accusing them of carrying out a decades-long disinformation campaign about climate change and their contribution to it in order to maximize profits.

"Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, in his lawsuit filed Tuesday in state court, accuses Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, Sunoco and the American Petroleum Institute of withholding internal knowledge about fossil fuels’ catastrophic effects all while spinning public doubt.

"'For over half a century, these companies chose to fuel profits instead of following their science to prevent what are now likely irreversible, catastrophic climate effects,' said Frey in a statement. 'In so doing, they burdened the State and our citizens with the consequences of their greed and deception.'"

Fossil fuel, capitalism, genocide - it's all connected.

Chevron is fueling Israeli genocide and apartheid.

As Israel bombs hospitals, homes, and schools, Chevron is supplying it with energy and funding its genocidal war chest.

A Supreme Court justice warned this ruling would cause 'large-scale disruption.' It’s already happening

The Petrofuture of Marin County...

Once you get past the freeways and strip malls, Marin can be idyllic, but just across the bay in Richmond...oof, the scene is ugly with refineries.

The Petrofuture maps show 66m of sea level rise layered on top of vintage gas station maps. This one uses an old #Chevron map.

Chief Justice "Roberts ruled that courts, and only courts, are allowed to figure out what Congress meant to do and impose those interpretations on the rest of society. He wrote that 'agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do.'

"That is a naked power grab that places the court ahead of literal experts chosen by the president, who is the one elected official we all get to vote for. Who do you think has a 'special competence' in resolving what the word 'clean' means in the context of the 'Clean Water' or 'Clean Air' act—experts at the EPA or justices on Harlan Crow’s yacht? Who do you think has a special competence to resolve what 'safe' working conditions require—experts at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or justices who have never worked as much as a day at a job that requires them to be outside? Who do you think has a special competence to resolve what 'equality' means under the Civil Rights Act for women in workplaces—experts at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or justices who have been accused of attempted rape?"

In a 6-3 decision, split exactly along party lines, Chief Justice John Roberts ruled that the courts—and, more particularly, his court and the people who have bought and paid for the justices on it—are the sole arbiters of which laws can be enforced and what enforcement of those laws must look like. Roberts ruled that courts, and only courts, are allowed to figure out what Congress meant to do and impose those interpretations on the rest of society.

Now that Chevron is gone, it is gonna be a lot of fun to have a judge like Aileen Cannon rule on, oh, let’s say Boeing’s safety as determined by the FAA.

Add into the mix that Judges can legally get “gratuities" after they rule, and gosh! What Bonanza for justice!

In the same way that I wont listen to a hospital administrator on what to prescribe for depression, I wont ever be listening to Aileen Cannon or Clarence Thomas on what constitutes a machine gun, an insurrection, or a harmful pollutant.

Ever.

Unethical to do so.

Resist.

This is what it's been about all along. Step 1: Buy the judges. Step 2: Rile up the base with lies about immigration and abortion so they won’t care about tax cuts. 3. Then move all regulatory authority from civil servants with expertise and independent judgement to corrupt and incompetent judges. #leonardleo #federalistsociety #oligopoly #darkmoney #chevron

Alaska encompasses more lands than California and Texas combined, and after a decade+ of modern misinfo campaigning, our state apparatus is a warren of cronies and Christian nationalists run by and for Conoco Phillips

As someone who used to direct an environmental org in Alaska, I can tell you that weakening federal regulations puts many ecosystems, and the people who have lived as part of them for millenia, in the cross hairs of relentless & careless industrial extraction #chevron
