[Thread] Unfortunately, South Dakota #HB1258 was defeated [which would have put more restrictions on #LithiumMining]... And I knew Burgum would betray #NativeAmericans (even though he promised not to).

‘Unleashing American Energy’: Mining and Drilling Accelerated Under Trump Administration

By Angelica (Angie) Solloa • February 12, 2025

"You may have heard that #DebHaaland (Laguna Pueblo) transitioned out of her role as the US Secretary of the Department of Interior and announced her candidacy for Governor New Mexico. Her successor, former North Dakota Governor #DougBurgum, is steadfast in carrying out Trump’s Executive Order 14154 '#UnleashingAmericanEnergy' which aims to accelerate #mining and drilling on federal and #TribalLands.

"On February 3rd, Doug Burgum released this document which outlines all the revoked projects and programs intended to protect land and the people; giving a pathway for #MiningCompanies to hit the ground running across Turtle Island.

"In the #BlackHills, the #SacredLands of the #Lakota Peoples’, mining and drilling companies aren’t hesitating to cash out. Currently, South Dakota House Bill 1258 is under consideration by the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, where it will come to a vote this Thursday, February 13th. Community members and citizens of the area were given just six days’ notice.

WHAT IS HB 1258?

"The passage of South Dakota House Bill 1258 would hold lithium mining to the same standards and laws as silver and gold. Under the current law, lithium mining is treated like mining for sand and gravel, and there are not enough protections for human #health, #food systems, #water, #wildlife, and the #land.

"HB 1258 would offer more accountability and appropriate processes for mining companies that would better protect the land, the people, and the economy of the #Ȟesápa. #NDNCollective, alongside partner the #BlackHillsCleanWaterAlliance, collaborated to spread the word as fast as possible, calling on relatives to swiftly take action ahead of Thursday, February 13th."

This is probably why #JoeBiden WILL NOT pardon #LeonardPeltier. Instead he awards #HillaryClinton !!!👿

Hillary Clinton Awarded #MedalOfFreedom. Clinton Targeted #Mohawks and #Mapuche, Presidents #EvoMorales and #HugoChavez, with U.S. #Espionage.

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, January 6, 2025

WASHINGTON -- "President #Biden awarded Hillary Clinton with the Medal of Freedom on Saturday.

"Clinton, while serving as Secretary of State during the Obama administration, targeted Mohawks, Mapuche, and world leaders with U.S. espionage.

"The U.S. Embassies in Montreal and Toronto targeted Mohawks with surveillance at the border and in their communities in Canada. The U.S. used illegal wiretaps to track Mohawks and documented the actions of #AkwesasneMohawks at the border of New York and Canada.

"The U.S. surveillance is revealed in the U.S. State Department cables, exposed by #Wikileaks, during the time Clinton served as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez was under heavy surveillance, as revealed in the cables.

"It was during this time of Clinton's espionage that delegations of the #AmericanIndianMovement, Mohawks, and #Indigenous #HumanRightsActivists were in #Venezuela in 2011. The solidarity and support resulted in free heating oil from Venezuela for #NativeAmericans in need.

"In this deadly web of the United States government's secrecy, the United States was part of a coalition to promote mining and fight against #IndigenousRights in Peru. A core group of diplomats -- from U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Switzerland and South Africa -- formed an alliance with mining companies to promote and protect mining interests globally, the cables reveal.

"The U.S. led the coalition and fought the rights of #IndigenousPeoples near the border of #Peru and #Ecuador. Indigenous Peoples were being killed defending their land from #CopperMining in bloody battles with #MiningCompanies and the military.

"The U.S. State Department cables reveal that Clinton told U.S. Ambassadors to collect DNA and iris scans on leaders in #Africa and #Paraguay.

"Biden, however, claimed during the award ceremony at the White House on Saturday that Clinton carried out a 'sacred effort.'"

Farmers and activists in Serbia have sparked nationwide protests to stop the building of #RioTinto first European #lithium mine, warning it would pollute their land and endanger public health. #MiningCompanies #mining #ToxicWaste

Dozens of #MiningCompanies are seeking permission from the #BC govt to develop some of the world’s largest #GoldMines in the headwaters of SE #Alaska’s transboundary rivers, and the Canadian govt continues denying the sovereign rights of the Alaskan Native nations living downstream from the extractive #mining activities.

This person thinks all Australians should work harder so they can create wealth and stop sponging off the state just like she did. She did inherit a mining company so she has a bit of a head start, but you know ...

Good News!

After 250 000 Panamians took the streets (a massive 6 % of the population!) to protst Central America's largest open pit copper mine owned by First Quantum Minerals, the supreme court ruled that the mine has to be shut down.

Thanks to @corpwatch ! (definitely worth a follow🖤 )

#AntiProtest Laws in #Australia

"In 2019, the #Queensland government passed the Summary Offences and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2019. Four United Nations Special Rapporteurs said the laws were 'inherently disproportionate,' and could criminalise peaceful protest.

"The Queensland government consulted #mining lobby group the Queensland Resources Council on the laws.

#MiningCompanies and powerful #lobby groups are pushing governments to further restrict our right to peaceful assembly in response to recent #ClimateProtests – threatening not just our right to protest, but also our ability to combat the #ClimateCrisis."
