You don't have to love @greenpeaceusa to rally around their free speech fight starting trial this month in North Dakota. The SLAPP suit from Energy Transfer of #NoDAPL infamy is meant as an attack on us all...

The past 2 weeks with the new administration have been stressful to say the least. You may feel like all the issues we’ve been fighting for have no real way forward. We’re here to remind you that there’s hope!
RSVP to join us in Dallas, TX on 2/22:

from Sabal Trail Resistance: "The #NoDAPL fight isn't over. Energy Transfer is still assaulting water and land with leaking pipelines, and attacking our free speech with SLAPP lawsuits. We're standing with Greenpeace in calling on ET to drop it's case against the movement...

Get to Dallas on Feb 22 to fight for free speech and the right to protest in defense of the earth, and in defiance of Manifest Destiny... 🧵

Gaza is not for sale. Palestine is not for sale. Trump's recent outrageous statement is yet another colonial land grab—one that mirrors the theft of Indigenous lands worldwide. From Turtle Island to Palestine, settler states exploit, displace, and destroy in the name of profit and power. Yet oppressed people unite and resist against colonialism. We stand with Palestinians relatives and all others around the world resisting genocide, environmental destruction, and colonial violence. Land is not a commodity—it is life, memory, and future.

In cities and counties around the US, the police budget usurps public funds at the expense of, well, everything. For example, LA adopted $12.8b budget that cut fire dept funding by over $17.5m, meanwhile LAPD received a funding bump of nearly $126m.

The future of free speech and our ability to fight for climate justice is on the line in what promises to be an epic battle… of wits. Trial is set to start February 24 in North Dakota. 🧵 #PrincessBride #AsYouWish #TrueLove #Inconceivable #WeWillNotBeSilenced

We're so grateful to know that Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier will be returning to his home and family after a 50-year injustice. Thank you to @NDNcollective and all the others that made it possible.
"Leonard is excited," says @NickTilsen of @ndncollective, who spoke to Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier after his sentence was commuted in a final act of the Biden administration. "He said, 'I'm finally coming home.'"
Great to see this organizing happening in #Dallas, the belly of the oil empire. By attacking @Greenpeace, @EnergyTransfer and @realDonaldTrump may fuel a movement like we've never seen before. Let's bring it!
We held a rally in Dallas to show Trump and Big Oil that we won’t be silenced by SLAPP suits and anti-protest laws.

I'm seeing a younger generation of Syrian activists, recently politicized over Gaza, confused as to why some of the commentators they follow have such bad takes on Syria.
Good time to re-share:

She lives in Spokane. Until the 2000s, the city was 95% white. The Black population was less than 1% Black until 1990. And they STILL HAD SEGREGATED NEIGHBORHOODS!
She’s not lying.
She literally didn’t see color.

NEW: Legislation that would bar the US government from spying on journalists—except under rare, specific circumstances—is currently stalled.
Now, with only weeks left to legislate, press advocates are urging Senate Democrats to pass the PRESS Act.
