There was some coverage of the #PortlandME No Immunity for #BigOil rally today. Hubby is sending me a gift article link later tonight, but here's a photo from today's march... You can see my sign in the far left corner.

The #PortlandME No Immunity for #BigOil rally was small, but powerful! We chanted and marched from #UselessSusanCollins office to #AngusKing 's office to #ChelliePingree 's office. Only Chellie committed to making Big Oil pay. I did NOT volunteer to go into Susan Collins' office, as I'm still on her shit-list. Met some good folks from #ThirdAct and #NRCM . It seems I was the only #MaineDSA member there, but that's okay -- a rally should have at least one card-carrying #Socialist! My hand-painted signs were a big hit. Someone asked if I hand painted #NoJobsOnADeadPlanet one. "Yup! No AI involved!" to which everyone laughed. I'm glad I went. I've been burnt out from protesting, so it was good to get my activist batteries recharged hanging out with good people!

"Notably, satellite and aerial observations suggest that the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory significantly undercounts methane emissions. A 2024 Stanford-led study estimated that U.S. oil and gas facilities produce, on average, emissions three times higher than EPA predictions."
Of course the industry wants numbers to be fudged. It cuts down on future liability for when a sane govt is back.

#MissKittyPolitics so I guess that means that the United States has to #sanction itself since #bigoil and the #military #industrial #complex are B💥💥MING because of their relationship to #Iran in the war. They are profiting more than any third party. TO THE GREAT DETRIMENT OF THE SPECIES. 💀💀💀

"These new findings are known as 'source attribution': Conclusions were stark: fossil fuel firms increased the likelihood of the 2021 Pacific Northwest heat wave by 31 percent."
>40+ cases filed in U.S. against #BigOil since 2017, at least five are entering #discovery phase(!)
>This science will help communities plan for weather tragedies, it seems they're saying. I guess we're #MakingLemonade

@CharlieMcHenry No, #bigoil shares value is far more important.

"Oil has dominated our lives for the last century. It has given us warmth, progress, and life-threatening pollution. It has been a gift and it is now a threat. It has started wars, ended wars, and infiltrated governments — in some cases, effectively become the government." This powerful novella is a must read.

Take down #BigOil & #BigTech. Down to the ground. May #Solar rule. The universe knows what it is doing. Have you thought about the fact that almost every #watt of #energy you have experienced is legacy solar (oil) or direct solar energy? #CleanEnergy #WindPower #SolarEverything

"The twilight of #oil is upon us and it is fighting to survive, even as we are ourselves fight to survive the #climatecrisis exacerbated by our dependence on it." A good read in these times of separation talk within the #Alberta #petrostate. https://www.cbc.ca/books/on-oil-by-don-gillmor-1.7475535

"How Florida quietly removed climate change content from textbooks
Publishers acceded to state requests watering down information on climate change’s impact, a WUSF/Hechinger Report investigation finds. Now the state has turned to updating its science standards.
Had Florida’s high school marine biology students read the original draft of their textbook, they would have learned about research that found climate change is killing at least 150,000 people per year, and another 1 degree Celsius of warming would double that.
Instead, they learned that 'human health will also be affected by the increase in CO2 and another 1 degree Celsius will further increase the impact.'
In another spot in McGraw Hill’s Marine Science book, 'climate change” was altered to “changes in the environment.' An environmental science textbook by publisher Cengage removed the word 'polluting' in front of 'coal burning power plants.' And it cut a reference to students at the University of Washington in Seattle voting to pay higher fees to help the school buy electricity from renewable energy sources.
These count among the changes that Florida education officials asked science textbook publishers to make in the summer of 2024 that either watered down or eliminated content about the climate crisis, an investigation by WUSF and The Hechinger Report has found."

@harld Nog sterker, die overheden gaan gewoon door door jaarlijks 40 miljard #fossielebrandstofsubsidies op het #bigoil vuur te gooien. Burn in hell burgers lijken ze te denken.

I found about this rally from the #MaineDSA mailing list! #DSA and #EnvironmentalGroups working together!!!
#PortlandME and #LewistonME - August 27, 2026
No Immunity for #BigOil Rallies!
"While making record profits, Big Oil and their allies in Congress are trying to get off the hook from paying for damages caused by their pollution by passing sweeping immunity legislation to protect their #corporate interests. Let's be clear: if you make a mess, you clean it up. #Maine taxpayers have been stuck paying for climate damages with no support from the corporations that caused the problem, and that isn't right.
"Join NRCM and our coalition partners on Thursday, August 27th in Portland and/or Lewiston to tell Maine's Congressional delegation to oppose Immunity for Big Oil and Make Polluters Pay for the damages they've caused in Maine.
Portland
When: 12 PM
Where: Lobsterman Park, 1 Temple Street
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to the offices of Sen. Collins, Sen. King, and Rep. Pingree. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy!
Lewiston
When: 4 PM
Where: Dufresne Plaza, 72 Lisbon Street, Lewiston
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to Sen. Collins and Rep. Golden. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy!
