America’s top oil and gas executives have been getting rich from the war at a historic pace. In the first three months of this year, oil CEOs sold $1.4 billion worth of their own stock—the fastest pace of selling in 15 years. Read more from @emorwee.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heated/p...
Trump said it out loud: "[I would] take the oil bc it’s there for the taking. There’s not a thing they can do about it. Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me...I’d keep the oil. I would make plenty of $.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Aq...
Trump's Iran debacle may not be your classic oil grab. But if the US wasn't awash in oil and gas, would it be happening?
🥳 Japan, a major importer of US gas, cancels plans to import gas from Louisiana’s Commonwealth liquified natural gas facility.
Hit hard by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Japan is waking up to the risks relying on $$ imported fossil fuels linked to volatile global markets.

8/This is a war brought to you by the fracking boom. Transitioning away from fossil fuels will not guarantee peace, but it may be our best chance to break free from cycles of conflict, coercion + instability fossil fuels perpetuate + build a more secure/resilient future oilchange.org/blogs/trumps...
7/ "Energy dominance” is a tool used by the Trump administration to unravel the democratic system + harm communities, while he and his donors reap profit. Trump is gutting environmental protections + fast-tracking fossil fuel expansion in the U.S. earthjustice.org/press/2026/e...
6/ Less than two weeks into the assault on Iran, Trump stated on social media that “the United States is the largest oil producer in the world, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.” oilchange.org/news/trump-h...
5/ The admin’s national security strategy: “Expanding net energy exports will deepen relationships with allies while curtailing the influence of adversaries, protect our ability to defend our shores, &—when & where necessary—enables us to project power.” www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
4/ They've basically said so: Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNBC, “The world is very well supplied with oil right now,” suggesting the President has “more leverage in his geopolitical actions to not worry about a crazy spike in oil prices.” www.cnbc.com/2026/02/20/t...
3/ For decades, U.S. presidents avoided all-out conflict in the Persian Gulf—partly because of the risks to global oil supply and the wider economy.
So what changed?
The U.S. is now the world’s largest oil and gas producer.
2/ As energy costs surge, millions of families are forced to choose between paying for fuel and covering basic necessities. Farmers face skyrocketing fertilizer prices. Hunger is rising. www.wfp.org/news/wfp-pro...
1/ Nothing says “America First” better than decimating the global economy while boasting about turning a profit.

👏👏👏 @khanna.house.gov and @merkley.senate.gov just reintroduced the "End Polluter Welfare for Enhanced Oil Recovery Act" to stop fossil fuel CEOs from cashing in on dubious tax breaks at taxpayers' expense.

HUGE WIN: Just weeks after Israel began its genocide in Gaza, fossil fuel companies won licenses to explore for gas off the coast without legal permission from Palestine. Now, following international pressure, the Italian oil company Eni is backing out. www.recommon.org/en/italian-e...
Breaking Black rain is falling in Iran after strikes on oil facilities. Scientists warn toxic fallout could cause long-term health and environmental damage. Big Oil profits. People pay.

Since the last No Kings Day in October, Trump has:
💣 Attacked Iran and Venezuela, enriching fossil fuel execs while people lose their lives + homes.
🧊 Escalated ICE's attacks on our communities
🌍 Sabotaged environmental protections + clean energy
We need everyone to march this Sat: bit.ly/44ax2Vo
"To protect communities from environmental disasters + wars for oil, we must reject extractive energy models + build democratic systems to prioritize community health.
"The future of Venezuela should be determined by its people, not by U.S. fossil fuel executives looking to maximize their profits.”
Today, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado spoke in Houston at #CERAWeek.
"Machado’s speech shows how conflict + instability open the door for fossil fuel companies to entrench their stronghold worldwide," said @allieeerose.bsky.social in response.

Trump hands $1B in public $ to Total to ditch offshore wind + double down on fossil fuels, claiming it will lower costs. Instead we get more LNG + oil & higher bills for working families. Attacking clean energy while fueling wars is a giveaway to Big Oil. www.doi.gov/pressrelease...
"As energy bills + the price of gas spike due to Trump’s war in #Iran, this admin is prioritizing fossil fuel donors – not making life affordable for working families.
"The real path to energy security, reliability, + resilience is a just transition to affordable renewable energy." #CERAWeek
We watched fracking CEO Chris Wright's speech at #CERAWeek – the world's biggest oil/gas fest – so you don't have to.
It was a disaster.
"If oil prices rise $20 a barrel, Big Oil could rake in $280 million in extra revenue EVERY DAY." – @allieeerose.bsky.social
