"So many of the horrors we’re witnessing today were brought to us directly by Big Oil. The fossil fuel industry was one of the largest corporate backers of Donald Trump’s return to power" @emorwee.bsky.social #fascism
lots of key points worth remembering in this @emorwee.bsky.social piece, which lays out how the fossil fuel industry helped create the conditions for today's authoritarian crackdown on protestors
Actually, I do know how to do this
In retrospect, paying attention to polluters may be one of the best ways to understand what’s currently happening in the United States.

I think the craziest thing about this is that it’s not already a thing.
I have had to tell operators to sit and wait until the city can bring the plows to where they’re stuck. I have talked to the customers stuck waiting. I have BEEN stuck waiting so I can get to work and dispatch those operators.

Ok so how many of these institutions that caved to Trump in the past year did so because someone in charge there knew that they were in the Epstein Files and didn't want that info to come out?

With current worries in mind, this piece looks at US invasion plans from 1930 (‘War Plan Red’). It cites THD’s advice that beyond $ for civil defense, 🇨🇦 must deepen ties with Nordic allies and adopt their approach: “If you attack us, you may ultimately succeed, but it’s going to really hurt.“ 36/x
The US drew up a plan to invade Canada in 1930. Now Trump is reviving old fears
Now the US is vying regional dominance, experts point to War Plan Red as proof its Canadian allyship has always been flimsy
