This comes after Trump promised the oil executives he’d end all decarbonization efforts in exchange for a billion dollars, and made it possible for Trump to start outraising Biden for the first time
If you’re reading this, and you’re an American, it’s on you to actually be a counterweight to this. That means:
- Make sure you’re registered to vote — you’ll need to register for the first time if you turned 18, and will need to update yours if you moved, changed name, or simply had your registration purged by Republican officials
- Volunteer. Phone banking and such are help, but if you’re able to, travel to volunteer in-person and talk to people.
- Donate. Give what’s ok for you, not more. If you’re well-off enough to show up for an in-person fundraiser and tell officials why you’re donating, that’s amazing.

Trump is literally selling our collective future for a few fucking dollars.
Hey, if you think he - or anyone associated with him - gives a flying shit, you’ve already lost. We are so far past that.
And it’s money for him to spend in (hopefully) the last few years of his life. Like the guy has to be close to croaking and he wants to go out taking everyone with him.
He could live another 30 fucking years! Look at how long Henry Kissinger lived.
Something tells me Kissinger didn’t eat McDonald’s every meal
If he loses in 2024, I kind of hope he runs again in 2028, and if he fails, again in 2032.
Yes of course he is. This is the guy who has consistently chosen to sell out his marriages (and actively harm his family) for the sake of an orgasm. When presented with the choice to do the right thing, or do the thing that provides some immediate, fleeting gratification, he has chosen the latter every time with no regard for how damaging that may be.
He and each of his many supporters.
I’ll note that the NYT changed the headline after I started writing this.
Pretty obvious they took a W for trump and made it an L for Biden.
edit: the new title is “Biden and Big Oil Had a Truce. Now, It’s Collapsing.” so you don’t have to give NYT a click.
Fucking NYT. Goddamn would it kill them to do the right thing for once?
I personally don’t really see that as a loss. There is no place for a truce with the fossil fuel industry, they need to be made completely unprofitable.
But I do have an issue with it not focusing as much on the corruption of Trump and the FF industry.
Boy, I bet the Democrats feel really good about how much of a good partner they were to the petroleum industry, slow-walking reasonable regulations, helping them with funding, etc.
I bet they feel great seeing this.
If they do manage to pull out a win in November, it needs to be no more Mr Nice Neoliberal. Bust the industry’s collective balls.
You have jokes

Lmao… It’s nice to dream, but even dreams need to have some basis in reality. We have a conservative party and a conservative party with like 6 “progressives” in it.
Look, Exxon isn’t indifferent to your concerns, okay? We’ve donated a generous $5000 to your personal fund, and all we’re asking for is some kind words in an internet forum, ok? Just to level out the vibe. Next week we can talk about a cool $10,000.
Can we get a list of the names of these execs?
Or start voting for the candidate you want and not the ones provided.
That just gets you the candidate you want less from the ones provided.
