The fossil fuel industry went on to donate $96 million directly to Trump’s campaign. After the election, Trump nominated North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as Secretary of the Interior and fracking executive Chris Wright as Secretary of Energy. Both selected by Hamm. #OpCanary

Trump has praised Hamm as his "original oil guy." He's organized fundraisers and financial assistance, $454 million, for Trump's civil cases. Hamm's company leases 200 acres of farmland from Doug Burgum, now Secretary of the Interior, providing Burgum with approximately $50,000 annually #OpCanary

In May 2024, a Trump advisor informed that Hamm sought the elimination of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export pause, California's emissions waiver, and the tailpipe emissions rule. On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order targeting all three. #OpCanary

Hamm, encouraged fellow oil executives to share their policy priorities with Trump. Since then Hamm’s hand-picked Cabinet have issued a slew of Big Oil-approved policies designed primarily to boost fossil fuel industry profits and destroy competition from renewables. They include: #OpCanary

Trump's energy policies are designed to benefit oil oligarchs like Harold Hamm, who have made significant bribes to his campaign. Hamm has stated he does not want an official position within the administration, preferring to hide while pulling the strings on Trump's energy policies. #OpCanary

not only endangered species are at stake, but also indigenous people's land.

Also the climate.

I have not been a huge fan of the oil industry even when my job depended on their activities. I would much rather see operations wind down and see a shift to renewables, and wouldn’t mind working on stuff for those industries.

The presidency is for sale to the highest bidder. Maybe our European and Asian allies can freeze his assets; we can do the same after he leaves office.

What I have noticed for the most part but all. The people who want to destroy everything are mostly old fucks, 60+. Yes, there are younger ones but they are following the old fucks. We need to go after these old fucks.
