It's not impossible to change any laws they force into place at this time, but it's even better if we can prevent their immunity. Thank you for the story.

Signed the petition, but wonder, how many people who did so do not own or operate a fossil fool vehicle such as myself? We collectively blame the money-mad monsters who work with petroleum and natural gas corporations, but are their products not actively used by most people on the planet? Each day when I return home I see miles and miles of mindless morons in shiny metal boxes powered by, yes, petroleum, and this seems fine to these dolts. So, are not most people co-conspirators with the major oil and gas industries? Let’s address this white elephant dancing in the room.

Exxon is suing GreenPeace as we speak for $$$$$ in a North Dakota court. They are claiming that Greenpeace instigated the No DAPL protests and illegally pushed people to oppose the pipeline. At stake is the right to legally protest anything publicly.

Yikes! Thanks for the story! We need to see them coming as they try to set precedent for future cases.

💔 got word this am, at 2:00 am Trump gave Israel to go ahead, bombs, by air, tanks etc. 400 families killed, hospitals overwhelmed, need medicine to treat the wounded, many people under rubble can’t rescue them, Palestinians need food, water etc, negotiations still ongoing and each side accuses the other toward agreement. Said now it is genocide. ☹️🙏 UN is involved

“Israel says President Trump green lit a scorched-earth bombing of Gaza that wiped out entire families and killed dozens of infants and other children”

I grew up, studied, and worked in Calgary, Alberta. They didn't produce the oil and gas there but it is the brain hub of the energy sector. Unfortunately some of my friends (kind of ex-ones) cannot shake Trump because he uttered the words "we're going to drill baby, drill" not too long ago.

They are in absolute denial (well two have shaken loose from the MAGA cult) over climate change - citing bogus studies and articles most likely paid for by Big Oil. Like Los Angeles, we have had some devastating fires here that burnt down entire towns and I swear their homes could go up in flames and they would still say climate change is a leftist plot.

I am at the point where all I have left is schadenfreude so I do so hope that their houses go up in flames.

This is horrible! The coal industry pulls the same type tricks. We need to be sure all fossil fuel industries are held accountable! Sharing with everyone I can think of!

What would happen if we publicized the names of the oil executives, past and present, with their pictures? Is there a way to do this without being sued?

If it’s in their public financial disclosures it’s public info.
