F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 13/07/2026As an unwelcome guest on an airboat junket with lobbyists for data centers, fossil fuels, and forever chemicals, I captured this coyote running a couple of miles inside the Great Salt Lake, because the Lake is now so shallow and dried-out. 061
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 17/03/2026PFAS harms our communities in more ways than you think... 011
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Our F Minus Director James Browning (Brown '91) said he was going back to Brown to talk about climate, but new photos show that he was just hanging out with Bruno the Brown mascot. Hmm. 000
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 14/01/2026FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Top Arkansas health care lobbyists also work for top polluters fminus.org/top-arkansas... 010
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 13/01/2026We have *30* climate and environmental justice organizations co-signing our statement calling on all civil society organizations to DIVEST from hiring lobbyists who work for the American Chemistry Council. Add your org today! No more double agent lobbyists. actionnetwork.org/forms/divest... 086
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 09/12/2025ZERO climate and public health organizations should be employing lobbyists that work for the Fossil Fuel industry. Will stand on the side of transparency and integrity and pledge to drop American Chemistry Council Lobbyists? actionnetwork.org/forms/divest... 012

F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 21/10/2025🗓 Join us Nov. 12th for “Oregon’s Dirty Secret: the Public School and PERS lobbyists who secretly work for oil, gas, and chemical companies,” a public briefing on how to align Oregon’s investments with its values. actionnetwork.org/events/orego... 031
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 17/10/2025We are looking for 5 more bold parents in Oregon ready to take on forever chemicals to become F Minus activists. Do you know anyone you'd recommend? Please send them our way! actionnetwork.org/forms/oregon... 120
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 16/10/2025When even a “green” state says no to a PFAS ban (looking at you California!), we need to follow the money... AND the LOBBYISTS. Oregon’s public institutions can lead where California stumbled. #PFASBan #CleanLobbying #ProtectKids 021
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 16/10/2025“It’s cynical and sick that the same lobbyists who helped convince Gov. Newsom to veto this PFAS ban actually lobbied for the ban at the same time on behalf of water agencies and other clients who desperately need help cleaning up PFAS,” -James Browning, Executive Director | F Minus 020
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Elon Musk caused the harm. Now his lobbyists are charging your community to clean it up. 111
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 28/04/2025Today F Minus launched a database of every Congressional and state lobbying firm that works for Elon Musk. Many of these firms also lobby on behalf of mainstream and progressive clients being devastated by DOGE. Explore the Musk lobbyist list here: fminus.org/lobbyist-cat... #teslatakedown 315091
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Brown & Weinraub's own website exposes their duplicity on climate. The firm touts its work for e-bikes and e-scooters, which is completely in conflict with its client work aiming to block the Climate Change Superfund Act and other bills. 100
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Further, Brown & Weinraub maintains Costco as a client, a company which states that it believes in a “just transition” in response to the #climatecrisis in its published climate commitments. There is no just transition if we don’t #MakePollutersPay for the #climate loses & damages they created. 100
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 11/12/2024The firm also represents publisher Houghton Mifflin, which publishes a bounty of books in support of #climateaction, including the 2016 book depicted here. Yet the firm simltaneously lobbies for Shell, a Koch Industries subsidiary, American Petroleum Institute, & handfuls of others. 100
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Many of these lobbyists backing #fossilfuels also work for clients who purport to be green. Brown & Weinraub represents Google, for example, as referenced above. Google is a sustainability leader within Big Tech. 110
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 11/12/2024NY's #fossilfuel lobbying firms, like Brown & Weinraub, are desperately trying — though the #MakePollutersPay movement has different plans in mind — to keep Gov. Hochul from signing the Climate Change Superfund Act. 100
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 11/12/2024What’s going on in #NewYork with the Climate Superfund Act? Just Google it. It's time to #MakePollutersPay. 100
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Outrageously, though, this same thing happens every day in statehouses nationwide, where F Minus has exposed more than 1500 #fossilfuel lobbyists who also lobby fors environmental groups andmunicipalities impacted by #climatechange, educational bodies tasked with acting on #climate, etc. 100
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 22/11/2024That's because LA County uses lobbying firm Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, which also lobbies for Western Independent Refiners in CA. The firm also lobbies for Brightline Defense, a Bay Area environmental justice group. It's time advocating for climate justice to ditch their fossil fuel lobbyists. 010
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Ventura County's Mountain Fire burned neaarly 20,000 acres and destroyed nearly 200 structures, including dozens of homes. Nextdoor Los Angeles County arguably aided in fueling the fire, though, despite its carbon neutrality by 2050 goal and interim goals in between. 100
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 20/11/2024This raises Q: will #Chicago divorce itself from its fossil fuel lobbyists? Or remain part of metaphorical "fourth house," another conflict of interest fueling state's "culture of corruption." Even if the state continues along the path, Chicago can lead by divesting from its fossil fuel lobbyists. 000
F Minus @fminus.bsky.social · 20/11/2024The city’s pension fund shares a lobbying firm w/ Phillips 66, another company named in the suit. Lobbying firm Phelps Barry also represents U of IL, which has come under increasing pressure to divest from fossil fuels from campus activists. 100
