1. > Marzulla Law L.L.C. is representing several groups that are fighting offshore wind, including Green Oceans, a nonprofit organization that is trying to overturn federal permits for Revolution Wind, a 65-turbine wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island.

   > In an Aug. 11 letter to Brown’s general counsel, Mr. Marzulla objected to research published by the Climate and Development Lab at Brown that found that Green Oceans had spread misinformation about climate change and operated as part of “a fossil-fuel-funded disinformation network.”

   Green Oceans is trash. They’re pretending to be clean energy proponents but they act exactly like the fossil fuel industry. You’re not allowed to say that though.

2. When can we expect DOJ to join the lawsuit and the Trump Admin to blackmail Brown to disappear this anti-disinformation work “or else”?

3. Imagine having your entire job be to shill and lie for big oil. 

4. I hope Brown has the fortitude to tell them to fuck right off.

5. They’re so blatant about it now, this is suppression of free speech to suit oil interests.

6. This all happened before. And we know what happened next.
