After a quarter of record profits, fueled by war profiteering, forcing extractive projects like Line 3 on Black, Indigenous and communities of the global majority and gouging consumers, the Big Oil Billionaires are celebrating the people they sacrifice to make their windfall profits possible. They'll start at the American Petroleum Institute headquarters with champagne toasts, and then parade over to the Senate Office Buildings with bags of money to give big oil's backers in the Senate their cut of windfall profits. Be sure to look out for our new, shiny convertible! We might just send a wave your way.
