This is an extraordinarily well-written book that weaves moving human stories (I cried) with revealing corporate history (I gasped) and a compelling argument for the power of community to build movements for our collective future (I felt inspired). Incredible stuff.
Mariah Blake@mariahblake.bsky.social · last yr.Today is the day! After eight long years, They Poisoned the World, is out. The book interweaves the moving story of a small town on the frontlines of an epic global crisis with a deep investigation of one the most brazen cover-ups in corporate history. 1/

The Trump Admin is once again selling out safety and common sense to cater to fossil fuel industry demands. This formula is familiar: putting big business’s profits ahead of science—and even their own investors’ best interests—by burying the facts. 🧵⬇️
