City of Quartz and Planet of Slums had such an impact on me, driving me to be a history major and activist, and teaching me how words can slice, dice, and dissect the status quo. He'll be deeply missed, but what gifts (and radical inspiration) he leaves behind.

Big Oil as they announce their 3rd Quarter profits.

🧵THREAD🧵
Oil and gas companies are price gouging American families, forcing you to pay more for their gain.

Now, they're announcing their MASSIVE, MULTI-BILLION dollar Q3 profits💰

Follow along as we track the Big Oil greed that's costing you more👇

Have you seen more climate and energy newsletters sponsored by fossil fuel companies lately? Me too.

Thankfully the brilliant Amy Westervelt and Drilled are here to explain the long (and dirty) history of this propaganda strategy. drilledpodcast.com/if-more-climat…

Valero’s new profits are out. They experienced a 500% increase in profits this year.

So why are gas prices so high? Time to hold these oil companies accountable.

Oil companies are posting record profits but instead of lowering prices they are inflating consumer costs at the gas pump even as the cost of crude oil drops.

On May 19th the House passed a gas price gouging bill and not one Republican voted for it. #RepublicansArePriceGougers

Memo to the American Petroleum Institute: stop price gouging.

Today we joined Sharon Lavigne for a funeral procession across D.C to honor the many lives lost in Cancer Alley, Louisiana to the fossil fuel industry. President Biden it's your turn to meet with these leaders from the Gulf and listen to their demands! #ClimateEmergency 📸 Survival Media Agency

Building on this. Replace:

1. “Natural gas” with methane gas
2. “Utility prices” with fossil fuel prices
3. “Profits” with wartime profiteering
4. “Think tank” with fossil fuel industry front group (as appropriate)

Ripping off the American people and profiting from a war you helped fuel? Awwwwwkwwward. yahoo.com/now/big-oil-pr…

I think you might have to do more than just ask nicely...a windfall profits tax would be a good place to start!

This was such a powerful event.

Hope more reporters take a few minutes away from the usual horse race and cover Sharon Lavigne and their plea to President Biden -- lives are stake. peoplevsfossilfuels.org/rise-st-james/

Exactly! This is price gouging and war profiteering.
