The case could have massive implications for protest & free speech. The firm representing Energy Transfer has a history of helping corporations silence their opponents -- and is also helping Big Oil use the 1st amendment to defend itself from climate lawsuits.

During the protests at Standing Rock, Energy Transfer worked with police and a private security firm to surveil & spread disinformation about Indigenous water protectors. https://theintercept.com/2023/05/22/standing-rock-energy-transfer-tigerswan/

As the case has progressed, the pipeline company has continued to try to shape the narrative of what happened -- from attempting to subpoena journalists to potentially funding propaganda disguised as local news.

Greenpeace asked for the trial to be live-streamed, but that motion was denied. You can follow @trialmonitors.bsky.social -- a group of attorneys monitoring the trial in North Dakota -- for more updates.

I foresee the reemergence of Earth First style tactics in reaction to the MAGA focus on fossil fuels. Time for saving the future is running out.
