A major pillar of corporate globalization is crumbling. ISDS lets corporations sue govt’s over public interest policies in shady int’l courts. But that system is now on the ropes thanks to a series of recent victories of our global movement. @RyanGrim breaks it down. 🧵

🇺🇸 By burning fossil fuels, we are hurting other people and our planet. This includes fossil gas from the U.S. That’s why I support @JoeBiden’s pause on new #LNG projects. 👉 Read my op-ed in the @PhillyInquirer: https://t.co/pm7vDxAN1O

🇩🇪 Solange wir fossile Brennstoffe nutzen, leben wir auf Kosten anderer Menschen und schaden der Umwelt. Auch 🇺🇸 Flüssiggas ist nicht nachhaltig. Deswegen unterstütze ich @JoeBiden|s #LNG-Moratorium. 👉 Mein Gastbeitrag dazu im @PhillyInquirer:

Very important messaging - thank you @RepLloydDoggett
#rosatom sanctions are long overdue and just like we should not buy Russian gas and oil, we should also not buy their nuclear fuel.
Western sanctions on Russia are failing to curb its illegal war in Ukraine. In @ForeignPolicy, I urged for stronger actions against a network of companies associated with Rosatom, Russia’s state-owned nuclear corporation, helping fuel Putin's war machine.

Often resulting in extortionate payouts, investor-state dispute settlement (#ISDS) provisions enable #fossilfuel investors to sue countries taking ambitious climate action. ISDS undermines the global energy transition that is urgently needed. Read more 👇

Republicans see red at any green solution. This week, they're attempting to waste more taxpayer dollars on handouts for Big Oil executives. I have a bill that would prevent this by closing loopholes allowing oil companies to claim tax write-offs for foreign oil & gas extraction.
