What todayโ€™s judgment means for Greenpeace USA - Greenpeace A final judgment has officially been entered in Big Oil company Energy Transferโ€™s massive lawsuit against us.

A judgement has finally been issued in Energy Transfer's attempt to permanently silence Greenpeace. We are requesting a new trial, and will appeal as needed. Spoiler alert: we will not be silenced. www.greenpeace.org/usa/what-tod...

A roadmap for dealing with disingenuous and tiresome procedural objections and finally achieving a meaningful global #PlasticsTreaty?

Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest says beating was unprovoked A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked.

ICE officials said he ran into a wall, which doctors immediately rejected as inconsistent with the wounds. The immigrant's account - that he was beaten in the head by steel batons, contrary to DHS guidelines - is more plausible. But no accountability exists for him, or us.

I was reading a New Yorker feature on the Iranian activist Asieh Amini, and was struck down by this line in a poem, directed at her interrogator:

"How many times have I asked you
Don't come to my dreams with a gun"

From Minneapolis to Tehran, Gaza to Kyiv, people want to be free.

Breaking: Washington Post gutting its climate team Clean energy dies in darkness. Courtesy of Jeff Bezos.

I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated.

Eni, one of the worldโ€™s biggest oil and gas corporations, is using the Winter Olympics to greenwash its fossil-fuelled destruction

ICE, F**K You - A Protest Song for Minneapolis
YouTube video by scaredketchup ICE, F**K You - A Protest Song for Minneapolis

It was great to see @dropkickmurphys.com at the Remove the Regime rally in DC a couple months ago. I hope this new anthem becomes a hit and I hope you let your members of congress know this week that you expect them to oppose any appropriations bill that funds ICE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PUO...

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doorsโ€”they deserve to be defunded, and Iโ€™ll take any step in that direction.

Trumpโ€™s plan to open Californiaโ€™s coastline to oil drilling threatens more than ocean life OPINION: The Trump administration plans to open the length of Californiaโ€™s coast to offshore oil and gas development, regardless of the law and the consequences.

Today, the Aquariumโ€™s Executive Director Julie Packard joined voices with the former U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta in a firm defense of sound science, community and our shared environment, and protecting the California coast from new offshore drilling. mbayaq.co/4qHvLO5

Five years later, these 10 corporations still arenโ€™t funding election deniers Five years ago today, on January 6, 2021, a violent mob stormed the Capitol building.

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years

But we've identified 10 promise keepers:

Farmers
Airbnb
Expedia
Nike
Clorox
Eversource Energy
Holland & Hart
Qurate
Whirlpool
Lyft

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasnโ€™t about regime change. I didnโ€™t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

There is no justification for Trump's action against Maduro and Venezuela that cannot be applied to Trump himself.
We cannot wait until 2028 to remove him from office.
The Congressional elections this year need to remove enough of Trump's enablers that he can be effectively impeached and removed.

I canโ€™t do this anymore, not one more fucking day
