Hey all — this is MASSIVE. We’re building the case for criminal prosecution of Big Oil brick by brick. Here is the first “prosecution memo” that lays out the case for filing, and winning, criminal charges for “reckless endangerment.” The law is clear. Barriers are only political.

Big news! New York officials want Big Oil to be criminally prosecuted. The crime: reckless endangerment - knowingly engaging in conduct that risks injuring or killing someone. Sounds right. Memo from Public Citizen & Fair and Just Prosecution. 𝕯𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆 𝕹𝖔𝖔𝖗 has the scoop theguardian.com/us-news/2024/o…

Kamala Harris ran away from climate. But climate is one of Dems' best opportunities to tell stories that, like Trump's, have clear villains and center the way elites (like Big Oil CEOs) are hurting working class people. It's time for climate populism. newrepublic.com/article/188679…

Couldn't be prouder to work with Aaron Regunberg and David Arkush on describing the crime that best captures Big Oil's conduct: causing or risking catastrophe. nyuelj.org/2025/01/causin…

Over 7,500 Public Citizen members just called on Toyota USA to stop funding climate deniers and stop lobbying against climate action. We just delivered the petitions to Toyota's DC lobbying office. More info here: citizen.org/news/public-ci…

READ and SHARE this powerful op-ed from a Toyota dealer: "But even with those we love, we must tell them when they’re falling short...Stop supporting climate deniers, give me more E.V.’s to sell. Toyota can do better." electrek.co/2025/06/04/ope…

Wonder why the East Coast is facing extreme heat? Oil companies have known that fossil fuels would cause heatwaves like this. They ran their own climate models. The science was clear. Instead of listening to it, they buried the truth. Now, we’re the ones paying the price.

Hard to overstate just how taxing and dangerous it is to climb in and out of 130F trucks in 90/100F heat for 10 hours, all as bosses monitor practically every movement and second of your shift with surveillance technology

We are losing to China in a competition for the future. Instead of producing energy smarter, the U.S. is defunding cleaner, safer, and cheaper energy. So the way to make America great is to fall behind??? Make it make sense.

Big Oil has known for over 50 years that burning fossil fuels would cause "globally catastrophic harms." Those are their own words. And yet they kept burning. Listen to David Arkush testify in front of Senate Judiciary on Big Oil's complicity in the climate crisis:

Ted Cruz worked to destroy weather forecasting systems before immediately jetting off to Greece to take a vacation while his constituents were getting swept away by lethal flash floods. Just the human embodiment of foul-smelling pond scum.
