#DemocracyNow: Will #Biden Pardon #StevenDonziger, Who Faced Retaliation for Suing #Chevron over #OilSpill in Amazon?

January 08, 2025

"Massachusetts Congressmember Jim McGovern calls on President Biden to pardon environmental activist Steven Donziger, who has been targeted for years by oil and gas giant Chevron. Donziger sued Chevron on behalf of farmers and Indigenous peoples who suffered the adverse health effects of oil drilling in the #EcuadorianAmazon. 'I visited Ecuador. I saw what Chevron did. It is disgusting' and 'grotesque,' says McGovern. 'Donziger stood up for these people who had no voice.' In return, Chevron has spent millions prosecuting him instead of holding itself to account, he adds, while a pardon from the president would show that the system can still 'stand up to #CorporateGreed and excesses.'"

Collin Ward (#WHOI) spoke to us today about the lessons learned from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico: particularly the speed and extent of photochemical oxidation of crude oil. This is what turns the oil into sticky emulsified globs on the beaches.

A record-setting leak: the Keystone Pipeline mess in context

I've read lots of news stories (effective 1 am Pacific) so that you don't have to.

Why don't reporters contextualize stories?
