Trump's illegal invasion of Venezuela is all about one thing: oil.

2026: The time for us to #MakePollutersPay a top priority for lawmakers EVERYWHERE and pass climate superfund bills across the United States. We’re coming together on January 26 for a national Week of Action to push for climate superfund legislation and other Big Oil accountability efforts.

Our #MakePollutersPay balloon goes global 📍Belém, Brazil @cop30brazil.bsky.social

The storms, the fires, the floods, and the heat are pounding an electric grid that was mostly built half a century ago, and the costs of patching it back together are being quietly folded into our monthly bills.

📣 SAY IT LOUD FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK 📣 "Mikaela Loach, a Jamaican British climate justice activist, says the hurricane was “caused by the climate crisis,” and says fossil fuel companies are to blame." 👏 Time to name unnatural disasters for those responsible: Big Oil & Gas. #MakePollutersPay

California students see Climate Superfund legislation as one fix to climate change — and walked out of school to fight for the policy.

Who should pay for the damage done by climate change? The big polluters causing it should pay. #MakePollutersPay

The fastest way to lower costs isn’t to slow down the energy transition, it’s to speed it up.

Team 509 joined the #MakePollutersPay campaign this week to demand urgent climate action across the state! Learn more about the campaign here: www.polluterspayma.org

Students at McClatchy High School and Granite Bay High School joined young people and allies across California in a #YouthWalkout to demand that our state leaders pass the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act (AB 1243 / SB 684). #YouthWalkout2025 #MakePollutersPay #PollutersPaySuperfund

Most people already feel the ramifications of climate change...

Stats we'll keep repeating: · Our economy has suffered $6.6 trillion in economic damages from climate-related disasters in the past 12 years · That's a costlier event than the Great Depression · Workers lost more than $1 trillion in wages because of wildfire smoke alone between 2020 and 2024

🎈Help us DEFLATE ExxonMobil’s Balloon Fiesta takeover and hold oil and gas companies accountable for cleaning up their toxic waste. 📢 Tell New Mexico’s Water Quality Control Commission to keep toxic oil and gas waste out of our rivers, farms, and food. #MakePollutersPay https://loom.ly/sqSa2CM#MakePollutersPay

More than 100 House Republicans are asking the Supreme Court to BLOCK climate lawsuits that demand compensation from Exxon Mobil and other fossil fuel behemoths. Seems like our work threatens their industry. Let's keep going. #MakePollutersPay

"We’re pretty sick and tired of people making bajillions of dollars & then we have to clean up their messes. That’s what this bill does" - state Rep Tricia Farley-Bouvier @350ma.bsky.social @thebeatnews.bsky.social @hvatoday.bsky.social @polluterspay.bsky.social theberkshireedge.com/climate-acti...

From the outside, Climate Week can look like a wall of acronyms, closed-door panels, and LinkedIn declarations of progress. Instead of another roundup of lofty announcements, we’re dropping the quotes we overheard, scribbled down, or couldn’t stop thinking about.

“Billionaires caused the climate chaos, spearheaded the rise of authoritarianism and they continue to profit from our suffering,” @climatedefenders.bsky.social organizer said. “But they forgot one thing: there are more of us than there are of them.”

Carbon emissions from oil giants directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for first time Time to #MakePollutersPay! #ClimateLitigation #ClimateCrisis

“We can finally put a name and a number on who’s responsible for these disasters. The bill is coming due, and it’s time these polluters pay for the damage they’ve done."

"We're talking about real people who died, real crops that failed, and real communities that suffered, all because of decisions made in corporate boardrooms," one campaigner said after a new study tied fossil fuel giants' pollution to deadly heatwaves. www.commondreams.org/news/heatwav...

“We can now point to specific heatwaves and say, ‘Saudi Aramco did this. ExxonMobil did this.’ When their emissions alone are triggering heatwaves...we’re talking about real people who died, real crops that failed, and real communities that suffered.”

We're relaunching the National Make Polluters Pay campaign — and we need you with us. 🔥

Will Republicans give more handouts to Big Oil, or compromise with Democrats to prevent a government shutdown? Here’s the scoop on what’s coming up in DC energy and environmental policy: @polluterspay.bsky.social 🧵

🟢 Agencies like Unearth have the opportunity to do the right thing by saying no to big polluters and supporting @polluterspay.bsky.social, instead. 🔗 Read the full story by @globalwitness.org: globalwitness.org/en/press-rel...

We can’t let Big Oil escape accountability. Not now. Not ever.

ICYMI: Fossil fuel companies have spent millions of dollars to spread false and misleading information on social media.

A hot summer day didn't deter 200+ climate activists from taking climate action in Hoboken, New Jersey on Thursday, including a strong Jewish young contingent! ✊🔥 We're mobilizing to say Pass the Make Polluters Pay Act! @thirdactorg.bsky.social #makepolluterspay

Trump asked oil execs for $1 billion. He got $445 million. His billion dollar tax breaks gives the oil industry everything it wants. #MakePollutersPay

This is not radical: If you break, you pay for it. Taxpayers should not be on the hook for the price of climate change; instead, #makepolluterspay www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/07/op-e...

🗣️ Last week, UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a special address that made one thing very clear - clean energy is transforming the world and is unstoppable. 👇 All we need now, is an unstoppable movement to keep powering us into a solar-powered future. 🧵 Here's what he had to say:

We should call it the Big Oil heat dome.

Texas flood protest goes to Washington: ‘No more kids lost to climate disasters’ Twenty-seven trunks symbolise child flood victims: ‘They died as a result of choices – terrible and deadly choices’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Texas flood protest goes to Washington: ‘No more kids lost to climate disasters’ Protesters attribute fatalities in Texas not to a natural disaster but a “preventable and politically charged crisis” stemming from government defunding of critical agencies.

"I won’t get flood warnings in time to save my family because our government defunded our National Weather Service and NOAA. This is insanity. This is so dangerous. This is not leadership. It’s a combination of cowardice and corruption.”

27 children at summer camp died in catastrophic flooding in Texas. This is every parent's nightmare. We won't stand by while our leaders support the fossil fuel industry responsible for climate disasters. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/texas...

According to former federal prosecutor Cindy Cho, when people die in climate-related disasters like extreme heat death, #BigOil could be held liable. This is BIG news for the fight to #MakePollutersPay.

Extreme heat is killing Americans. Big Oil knew it would. They should pay for the damage.

This makes me furious. From fossilfreememo.substack.com/p/the-foreca... Thanks to @polluterspay.bsky.social for bringing this to light.

"This was a preventable tragedy. Not because we can control the rain, but because we could have had stronger systems in place...politicians like Ted Cruz & Donald Trump chose to defund those systems. They chose to take money out of public protection and shovel it into the pockets of oil executives."

Instead of tax cuts for billionaires, everyday Texans and working people across the country should have systems in place to help them weather these extreme disasters safely.

🚨BREAKING: 8 out of 10 surveyed around the world think that polluters - not the people - should pay for climate damages. That’s an OVERWHELMING majority saying - it’s time to make polluters pay. Sign the Polluters Pay Pact today 👇 act-int.greenpeace.org/polluters-pa...

“When we organize, we can rewrite the rules and build something more fair, more honest and more prepared for the future we deserve" 💜

Let's go, California 👏

“The largest emitters of carbon pollution, companies like Exxon, BP, Shell, and Chevron are raking in record breaking profits, while the average NJ resident is forced to pay for these increasing climate costs which they simply cannot afford.” - Matt Smith, our NJ State Director #MakePollutersPay

They’re calling it the "Big Beautiful Bill." We’re calling it what it really is: the Big Ugly Bill, because it’s one of the most dangerous, climate-wrecking proposals ever to come out of Congress. Stand up for climate & join our movement call on Monday 💻

We are coming together on Monday, June 9th with climate leaders like Jay Inslee, @leahstokes.bsky.social , @billmckibben.bsky.social, and others to get fired up to stop the worst environmental bill in US history.🚨 #EnergySky cc: @polluterspay.bsky.social Join us ⤵️ actionnetwork.org/events/stand...
