“Free Palestine” banner flown over Gillette Stadium during the Patriots-Raiders game today. I’m told it was put on by a group of Boston locals “who are pissed off at Robert Kraft.”

Here's the text of the brief submitted by The BTI: www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25... It was written by Richard Samp, a right-wing activist lawyer and member of the Federalist Society (fedsoc.org/bio/richard-...)

No. 25-170 In the Supreme Court of the United States SUNCOR ENERGY (U.S.A.) INC., ET AL., Petitioners, U. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF BOULDER COUNTY, ET AL., Respondents. On Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court of Colorado BRIEF OF THE BREAKTHROUGH INSTITUTE AS AMICUS CURIAE IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONERS
Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they)@doctorvive.bsky.social · 12h ago

Today I learned that The Breakthrough Institute filed an amicus brief on behalf of Suncor in Suncor Energy v. Boulder County—the case heard by SCOTUS last week where CO seeks to hold fossil-fuel companies accountable for allegedly deceiving the public about the danger of climate change. And...

Unlike many organizations that deny climate change outright, the Breakthrough Institute accepts the science while opposing efforts to hold fossil fuel companies legally accountable for it. The Institute has become one of the leading advocates against what it calls "climate lawfare," arguing that climate lawsuits are an improper attempt to regulate energy policy through the courts instead of legislatures. Breakthrough characterizes these lawsuits as anti-democratic and urges judges to reject them. In 2026, it filed amicus briefs in Lighthiser v. Trump, a lawsuit brought by youth climate activists seeking to challenge the Trump administration's executive orders expanding fossil fuel development, and Suncor Energy v. Boulder County, a U.S. Supreme Court case in which Colorado communities seek to hold ExxonMobil, Suncor, and other fossil fuel companies accountable for allegedly deceiving the public about the dangers of climate change. In Suncor, Breakthrough sided with the fossil fuel companies, arguing that attribution science cannot reliably link individual companies' emissions to specific climate harms and that state climate lawsuits improperly interfere with national energy policy.

Ireland against Fascism@irlagainstfascism.bsky.social · 18h ago

Chants of 'Don't protect the women, we can fight. We don't need your fascist shite' rang out in Glasgow tonight. As anti-fascists, women's rights groups and trade unionists protested against 'patriot platform' and their supporters pushing their racist agenda in the city. Things you love to see ✊

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: "Scientists are coming under pressure from some petro-states and major developing countries to delay publication of a key global report on the climate, despite pleas from vulnerable countries worried that postponement could spell disaster for them."

IPCC is under pressure to delay publication of key global climate report

AR7 report was scheduled for 2028 in time for Cop33 summit but some petro-states and major developing countries want to postpone it

Isn't that one of the older tricks in the books for laundering fossil reputations to mix with people/money who want more action and insist you agree but the whole thing just needs to be studied more? Then fund all kinds of studies that get in the way of anything ever actually getting done

Upon reading this disturbing revelation I decided to go to their website to refamiliarize myself with their mission, and I came across this gem: “We believe that ecological vibrancy results from human prosperity, not the other way around.” Yikes. Where would nature be without us humans, really‽ 🙃
