We shut them down because someone has to. While they network over genocide and climate collapse, we remind them: History will remember you as the arsonists who let the world burn for profit.

Private equity? Public enemy.

Rubenstein profits from chaos. Youngkin protects polluters. Moore enables environmental racism. They're not opponents — they're parasitic collaborators feeding on our future.

A war profiteer. A Republican protecting utilities. A Democrat breaking promises. All cackling over our corpses together on stage.

This is the system. This is how it works. Different parties, same donors, same destruction.

Here's what you need to know: Rubenstein's Carlyle Group made BILLIONS from fossil fuels + war. Governor Youngkin pulled Virginia out of RGGI while Norfolk literally drowns. And Governor Moore campaigns on environmental justice while Baltimore's Wheelabrator incinerator poisons Black neighborhoods.

JUST IN: We just disrupted this vile, vulture capitalist lovefest. David Rubenstein, Governor Youngkin, and Governor Moore all on stage together, plotting how to profit from our extinction. They were having such a nice time. We ruined it.

They're worried about Tylenol being dangerous for kids?

Cool, cool. Now do the actual fucking carcinogens in our drinking water from fracking.

Alaska burns, Murkowski earns.

Alaska Native villages are literally sinking into the sea. Shishmaref. Kivalina. Newtok. Climate refugees in their OWN land because of HER votes.

The Gwich’in people call the Arctic Refuge “The Sacred Place Where Life Begins.” Murkowski calls it a business opportunity.

Lisa took $588,047 in legalized bribes from the fossil fuel industry — then returned the favor by pilfering and poisoning the state she claims to love.

Vile fiend, horrific enemy to all of humanity, she throws literal fossil fuel on the literal fire engulfing earth — even as the state she "represents" warms three times faster than elsewhere.

Murkowski is a murderer. She literally tore food stamps out of the hands of the hungry to enrich her oligarch donors. She cut healthcare from millions to fund corp tax breaks. She slashed climate spending at the very moment that our precious ecosystems teeter on the brink of irreversible collapse.

BREAKING: We humiliated Lisa Murkowski. We shut her down. We made it clear she will never know a moment's peace as long as she keeps selling off our future to her evil cabal of fossil fuel CEOs.

Hey, Richard, you once said climate change is the biggest threat facing our society — so why the fuck don't you drop your fossil fuel clients?

Oh, that's right, you're a morally bankrupt executive who'd sell humanity's future for a paycheck.

In fact, he recently won a MASSIVE contract with Shell while they abandon their climate pledges with all the commitment of a drunk text.

This corporate mercenary profits from propaganda while we inherit catastrophe. Every lie costs lives. He's not a PR exec, he’s a fucking accomplice to ecocide.

Edelman makes money by spinning lies for some of the world's most notorious polluters — including, Shell, Exxon, and the American Petroleum Institute. He has made MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS from fossil fuel contracts in the last decade while our planet burns.

We just disrupted #BigOil's favorite PR kingpin, #RichardEdelman, at his 'Leading with Trust' talk in NY.

LeAdiNg WiTh tRuSt — give us a fucking break! This fossil fuel spin doctor builds disinformation campaigns to advance the fossil fuel industry's planet-burning agenda.

The same companies destroying our climate are profiting from genocide and war. Every pipeline is a weapon. Every drill is an act of violence. Corrupt capitalism funds the same deadly systems from West Virginia to the West Bank.

Really, Senator? "Common sense"?! 🤮 Your cOmMoN sEnSe only makes sense if you own a coal company (narrator: he does).

Joe Manchin is not defending common sense.
Joe Manchin is defending a death cult that runs on coal, cash, and complicity.
