Good reporting from Emily Atkin @emorwee and Arielle Samuelson via their excellent #HEATED newsletter:
Big Oil is quietly paying state legal officials to kill climate litigation
Honolulu's climate lawsuit is an existential threat to Big Oil. So they’re buying Republican attorneys general to defend them in court.

Ik was mede-eiser in de SHELL zaak.
NOG NOOIT ZO'N GOEDE INVESTERING GEDAAN !
(OK ik heb niet zo veel geld, maar toch..
Uit een mail die ik van Milieu Defensie kreeg:
Wij klagen ING aan in een baanbrekende nieuwe Klimaatzaak. Nooit eerder werd een bank in Nederland aangeklaagd omdat zijn klimaatbeleid tekortschiet. En jij kan meedoen. Sluit je aan bij deze nieuwe rechtszaak en word mede-eiser.
Ik doe mee

(Climate) protesting is becoming more difficult every day.
Never mind freedom of speech or cumbersome things like that...
Now #BigOil US is investing in curtailing it even more.
By PROTECTING 🥵 #BigOil from those pesky protesters.
In the way they're used to do it effectively: by #Bribing politics.
"60% of US Oil and Gas Infrastructure Now Protected by Anti-Protest Laws: Greenpeace"
Quote:
Fossil fuel companies have contributed millions of dollars to legislators who sponsored such laws, according to a new report.
by Olivia Rosane for Common Dreams

More qoutes:
"The oil, gas, and coal industry has financed the spread of these laws: Nine of the top 10 lobbyists for these bills from 2017 to 2023 were Marathon, ExxonMobil, Enbridge, TC Energy, Koch Industries, Chevron, Energy Transfer, Williams Companies, and Valero. In addition, 25 fossil fuel companies gave $5 billion to lawmakers pushing these laws, with the top five donors being Duke Energy, Dominion Energy, Marathon Petroleum, BNSF Railway Co., and Koch Industries."
"Pushing anti-protest laws isn't the only way that the fossil fuel industry has tried to stifle protest. It also relies on a tactic known as strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP). Almost three-quarters of the 116 SLAPP lawsuits filed since 2010 came from companies that also supported anti-protest laws, among them Energy Transfer, ExxonMobil, Murray Energy Corporation, Chevron, and TransCanada."
