Koch gathered a group of racist billionaires to go after the Clintons & any attempt at climate action.

Citizens United & the erosion of the Voting Rights Act was only the beginning.

#KochNetwork even solicited the help of OPEC+, especially Saudi Arabia & Russia, to shield the fossil fuel industry's profits.

Perhaps it's not a coincidence but the fossil fuel industry started funding anti-democracy movements at an accelerated rate after this:

These tech lords aren't stupid people.

Somewhere in their evolution as technology leaders, they've developed the rather oddly childish concept that libertarianism isn't fascistic.

Or maybe it's just the source of their VC funding that creates this refusal to know. Middle Eastern oil kleptocrats aren't known for their flexibility on bigotry. Neither are #KochNetwork Republican billionaire donors.

The storms are caused by climate change and #KochNetwork funded climate denying Republicans to block climate action.

The fossil fuel industry must be so proud.

Their climate denialism bought Florida another devastating storm.

Charles Koch gave $25m to our university. Has it become a rightwing mouthpiece?

There is a difference.

Clarence Thomas, & the other corrupt partisans on the Supreme Court, enjoy the protection of #KochNetwork, a coalition of megadonors that is buying the end of American constitutional democracy.

Those billionaires shielded Trump from consequences for his crimes for over a decade.

They shielded the GOP operatives who orchestrated the Jan 6 coup attempt. Loudermilk.

Clarence Thomas has Russian-aligned billionaires on his side.

MAGA and right wing politicians all get handouts from #KochNetwork .

The JCCF, the instigator of the 2022 antivaxxer convoys, receive support from #KochNetwork just like the Fraser Institute, Claremont Institute, and Federalist Society.

With these "conservatives", it's always the funding from fossil fuels.

No wonder #KochNetwork and the Saudis are investing so heavily in AI; it's a strategy to keep the globe addicted to fossil fuels.
