Warning shot! @LGIM (about $1.3 trillion), one of Exxon’s top 20 shareholders, dumped about $300 million worth of Exxon shares and pledged to vote remaining shares against Exxon Chairman/CEO Darren Woods. #ExxonKnew #ExxonLies bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Reason: “There’s got to be an escalation. You cannot have the same conversation for 15 years with no results.” Hats off to @LGIM for being serious about holding polluters to account. Other institutional investors would do well to take note.
And an open question: how much does Exxon pay U.S. Chamber (#ChamberofCarbon) and NAM to be the two WORST CLIMATE OBSTRUCTORS IN AMERICA? #ExxonKnew #ExxonLies #ExxonPays

The response to our brief from Republicans and the partisan donor interests driving the Court’s polarization shows exactly why it’s time to speak out. They want us to shut up about their capture of the Court; we will not.

Here’s what’s notable about the Republican letter:

It projects on the brief changing the Court’s number, something neither the brief nor any author of it has proposed.
It matches the talking points from far-right "news" outlets almost exactly, likely signaling coordination.

The system is failing.

Look at climate change.

Corporations like @exxonmobil and Koch are worst emitters (and no corporation objects). washingtonpost.com/opinions/even-…
@exxonmobil Corporate mouthpieces like @USChamber/@ShopFloorNAM are worst obstructors (and their corporate board members sit idly by).
@exxonmobil @USChamber @ShopFloorNAM Fear of liability seems to be the only thing that gets corporate attention (an imperfect proxy for morals but better than nothing), and even then they litigate, lie and pack courts.

Backing away from tough fights often means leaving the most important ones on the table. The independence of our courts is an important one.
Why should an anonymously funded organization be selecting Supreme Court justices?

Why should an anonymously funded organization be running political campaigns to confirm them?
