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 ⤵️🧵

This case was never about justice. It was about silencing protest and crushing solidarity.

Energy Transfer has pursued this intimidation lawsuit because Greenpeace USA and Greenpeace International dared to show solidarity with Indigenous environmental defenders who oppose the climate-wrecking Dakota Access Pipeline.

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.

@greenpeace Refuse to pay, don't incorporate in the US anymore.

A self-respecting progressive movement should not treat those deranged fascists seriously.
