Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the dangers of hurricane disinformation, the risk of fraud, possible legal remedies, and a case in California targeting Exxon Mobil for lies about the recyclability of oil-based plastic products. Then, the #Sisters cover the charges in an ISIS-inspired election-day terror plot, the progression of criminal complaints compared to a grand jury indictment, and the other risks posed by extremism in the run-up to November 5th. They also sound the alarm over Project 2025’s threat to disaster relief via privatization and its limitations targeting reproductive healthcare and STI treatment.
