“Hiding these firms’ enthusiasm for fossil fuels beneath soothing promises of green investments serves only to distract from the urgency of meaningful action and thus makes an already formidable challenge even more difficult.” - @amlowenstein
A warning from BlackRock’s President Rob Kapito: “For the first time, this generation is going to go into a store and not be able to get what they want.”
“Today, it is one of the biggest shareholders in virtually every major company in America — and quite a few internationally as well. It is also one of the biggest lenders to companies and governments around the world. And its technology platform Aladdin provides…”
“When you see alliances across international borders between religious right organizations and these authoritarian relationships. … I think the consequences are enormous for all of us. It’s more than just the story of the Fellowship. It’s the story of our democracy.”- Jesse Moss
America’s law enforcement is still full of people like Sal at almost every level. There are dirty judges, prosecutors, and legislators all across the country.

@ChristaylorBrwn@JaneReeves98@AlanDersh Comprehend if you’re at all capable. First of all, there is a reason Will Hurd and other Republicans are headed for the doors... Second, the Republicans own witnesses (i.e.,Trump’s own liaisons in the State Dept.) testified that there was indeed a quid pro quo.
@ChristaylorBrwn@JaneReeves98@AlanDersh As testified to, everyone involved at the State Dept. were on the same page and understood the aid was conditioned on an announcement of an investigation into the Bidens. Sondland even changed his testimony to reflect that fact, but only after he realized that if he did not
