I'm really glad you're here, Tony.

[image ID: a tweet by user Xiel @lumiexalt that reads “nonblack people, remember the main driving force behind our activism should be compassion for black people and not merely hatred for the system. practice love, compassion, and kindness, extend that kindness to those who need it – not your romanticized revolution fantasies.” /end ID]

[image ID: a twitter thread by user kada @sunlightvveins. the first tweet reads “spreading community bail funds and prison abolition resources is a lot more helpful in these scenarios. rting change dot org petitions has the right motives but black people need & deserve more than those. please Please support COMMUNITIES and abolition materially.” 

the second tweet reads “i can’t speak for all black people but i see my community every day and i know these petitions are not the beginning of enough. we need yall to organize and/or just support the organizers. we need people/money/resources. spread THOSE. idk man” /end ID]

Oil majors have admitted to investors that their business would be in deep trouble without broad public support. They’ve also admitted the biggest threat to maintaining social license is public anger over climate change.

Oil companies could remedy this threat by winding down their fossil fuel operations, and investing heavily in renewable energy. But for the most part, they’ve chosen to combat public anger over climate change by investing in strategic communication.This consistent choice of empty climate words over meaningful climate action is why several Shell executives quit the company this week—and it’s why Heglar says social media call-outs are increasingly powerful.

C’mon girls!
