Want to see the evolution of oil & gas exploitation? In the context of the history?

Everyone in Louisiana, in Texas, in the US, in the WORLD, needs to scroll through this.

We need to see the web that's been woven, so we can unravel it. 🧵

(Making no apologies for the number of threads in my feed today.)

(Also, seeing the presentation of this tool literally made me want to send an apology to my boss for never being as good at my job as Imani Brown, the author of this project, is at her hobbies.)

This is a story about responsibility.

About accountability.

About #rights.

About #reparations.

Each oil well in Louisiana is not just "a well". It's owned by a company. Someone drilled the hole, and is keeping money off of it. Someone is #responsible.

If you stacked the money extracted by each well over the years they've been hurting Louisiana, the towers of money could be seen for miles and miles.

This should be public money. Local people are hurting, while Chevron executives are thriving.

Y'all, scroll through this.

Get mad.

Stay mad.

Channel that into #unraveling this industry.

We deserve better. #FollowTheOilStraightToReparations

. @andydhorowitz @ascottkoala @ltgrusselhonore @DarrylMW @wingedisis @BCLeeJr I want to make sure y'all saw this. Imani Brown's incredible work!!!

I am so stunned.

. @amywestervelt @MaryHeglar @KendraWrites Check this out! 👀 Just-launched tool that I am just so impressed by.

So I've been informed that I jumped the gun a liiiiiitle bit in putting this on Twitter (😬), and that I should say that this is in #Beta mode. The home page needs a lot more info on it, and the functions are still being worked out.

Look out for the full official launch soon!!
