This is a corporate attempt to put an end to climate protest and *particularly* to Indigenous led climate protest. Massive 1A assault. Pretty shocking that our little outlet was one of maybe 3 or 4 that had a reporter there every day of the trial (one of the others was a fake newspaper 🙃) - ThreadSky

Greenpeace lost because they paid protesters. That undermined the indigenous peoples’ free speech because paying for protesters is not free speech. With friends like Greenpeace who needs enemies?

Fake newspaper reporter incarnate? Tell us more. Unreality is my jam

Mission accomplished. Corporate rule in the US is complete. As a democracy you are done. You are owned and beholden to corporate rule, probably the tech bros own the largest part of each American. The future is going to be a bleak serfdom. Enjoy. Hitler and Mussolini gotta be high-fiving

And most of the jurors had fossil fuel industry ties…

Perhaps bigger even than that - an attempt to end civil society.

If you can be sued by wealthy corportions into destitution for critical speech, then no one has free speech. :/

My father was a small town lawyer. He told me when I was a girl:

“You have EXACTLY as many rights as the person standing next to you. No more, no less. You cannot take away theirs without damaging your own.”

Pretty easy for an 8 year old to understand. Why does nobody get it now?

That's how I first heard of Peter Thiel. He never should have been allowed to fund Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker Media. (I get that it may be legal, but...)

People are busy covering the sudden expansion of "terrorism" to cover anything billionaires and white supremacists don't like, the gutting of social justice organizations, and the breakdown of the legal system, not this totally random little niche issue
(I'm being sarcastic)

Thank you for being there! We will not stop fighting to protect free speech and Indigenous rights!
