BREAKING: A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay them US$ 345 million.
This is a billionaire-backed attack on the right to protest. A thread ⤵️🧵

US$ 345 million.
That’s what Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US have been ordered to pay.
It’s the biggest damage award ever imposed on Greenpeace organisations. It’s meant to shut the movement up.
5/7
Let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms.
Across the world, those who speak out are facing corporate intimidation – all so billionaires and corporations can keep getting richer while the planet burns.
6/7
This is not over!
All Greenpeace entities involved will appeal this ruling in the US.
And Greenpeace International is already taking Energy Transfer to court in the Netherlands under the EU’s anti-SLAPP directive.
7/7 We will keep resisting billionaires, corporate bullies and polluters.
It’s #TimeToResist

Billionaires and corporations are tightening their grip on our democracies — and silencing dissent. They weaken protections for people and the planet, bankroll politicians who serve their interests, control media narratives, and use corporate intimidation to shut down free speech. It’s time to fight back!
Ich hab gerade unterschrieben. Selbstverständlich.
Und ihr so???????
@greenpeace Refuse to pay, don't incorporate in the US anymore.
A self-respecting progressive movement should not treat those deranged fascists seriously.
How about NEVER?
@greenpeace The US is the definition of "corruption" in the dictionary
We really should recycle that country, or what's left of it..
reduce (or eliminate) - white nationalism/nazis, capitalism, “free market” economics
reuse - technological/medical knowledge & advancements, “we the people” part of the constitution (maybe some other parts, it wasn’t a totally bad document)
recycle (upcycle) - protest spirit, resistance culture, free speech, to create a new, liberal & democratic constitution that makes reparations for slavery (the first sin - edit: +indigenous genocide), corruption, crimes against humanity
I'm an American who fully supports what you just wrote.
Transfer all assets out of the US. An appeals depends on a fair judicial system. They don't have anything close to that.

Sounds a bit like the McLibel case [3], which was against a tiny handful of activists whose group was called #LondonGreenpeace [4], completely unrelated to Greenpeace International. The final result was formally a half-win half-loss for #McDonalds, but effectively a huge reputation loss for McDonalds, whose ability to crush dissent was greatly weakened.

> McDonald's said the pair could criticise McDonald's privately to friends but must cease talking to the media or distributing leaflets. Steel and Morris wrote a letter in response saying they would agree to the terms if McDonald's ceased advertising its products and instead only recommended the restaurant privately to friends.
This is pretty funny
Civil fraud unpunished
Treason unpunished
Election interference unpunished
Time to storm DC with 1M armed removing the menace' to society, world including the pedo oligarchy clan.
ITS OUR RIGHT TO STOP THE DECEPTIVE DESTRUCTIVE MENACE' TO SOCIETY
Not calling for violence, just storm them letting them know we don't stand for injustice.
