🚨 Kathleen Sgamma just withdrew her nomination to lead BLM—right before her Senate hearing. Did the recently unearthed memo exposing her past criticism of Trump's election denial play a role?.

🧵1/ Kathleen Sgamma, the @realDonaldTrump pick to lead @BLMNational, privately wrote she was "disgusted" by Trump "spreading misinformation" on Jan. 6 and "dishonoring the vote of the People," per a memo to oil execs obtained by @ItsDocumented. Her Senate hearing is Thursday.

@realDonaldTrump @BLMNational @ItsDocumented 🧵5/ Sgamma appears to have deleted or changed the name of her old Twitter account, then created a new one in Sept. 2023 using the old handle. Her old accont appears to now be here: @Wallstmemesteam.

🧵7/ Environmental groups strongly oppose Sgamma. Taylor McKinnon @publiccarbon of the Center for Biological Diversity @CenterForBioDiv called her nomination an "unmitigated disaster," citing her "breathtaking disdain" for protecting public lands.

🧵3/ At @BLMNational, Sgamma would oversee 246M acres of public land. She previously argued there's "too much federal ownership," raising alarm she'll seek large-scale privatization—benefiting oil & gas firms and worsening climate change. (via @JamesCTobias & @c_m_dangelo).

🧵2/ In the Jan 2021 memo, Sgamma said Trump "discredited all the good work" he'd done appointing judges by pushing false election claims. Now she's nominated to join Trump's admin, fully backing his "energy dominance" agenda—likely leading to massive new fossil-fuel drilling.
