DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NPR</a>: The U.S. takes a step toward allowing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mining</a> on the ocean floor, a fragile <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystem</a>by Julia Simon, April 25, 2025"President <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> signed an executive order Thursday aimed at making it easier for companies to mine the deep seafloor, saying it would create 'a robust domestic supply for critical minerals.'"There is currently no commercial-scale deep-sea mining anywhere in the world. But companies have long eyed the ocean floor as a potential source of metals like nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper, which are used in batteries for electric vehicles and other technologies."The world has no rulebook for deep-sea mining. One company is pushing forward anyway"These metals can be found in potato-sized nodules lying on the ocean floor. Many of the nodules are in the middle of the Pacific ocean, beyond the legal territory of individual countries."Thursday's order might circumvent ongoing international negotiations to regulate deep-sea mining."Those regions have traditionally been overseen by an international organization, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InternationalSeabedAuthority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternationalSeabedAuthority</a> (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ISA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ISA</a>). The ISA has hosted talks for years to try to hammer out a rulebook to govern a potential seabed mining industry. The U.S. did not ratify the treaty that governs the seabed, and is not a voting member of the ISA, though in the past under previous administrations it has respected the ISA process."In his executive order, Trump instructed federal agencies to expedite the process for reviewing and issuing permits for mining on the seafloor in both U.S. and international territory. It will use a U.S. law from 1980, the "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeepSeabed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeepSeabed</a> Hard Mineral Resources Act.""Scientists and environmental groups condemned the order, arguing that opening the deep seabed for mining could disrupt important marine ecosystems, and damage the fishing industry." 'This is being planned on some of the least resilient <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystems</a> on the planet,' says Douglas McCauley, professor of ocean science at the University of California Santa Barbara. 'It would have <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/catastrophic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#catastrophic</a> biological consequences.'"Underwater mining can create plumes of sediment that could suffocate marine life, and degrade the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodWebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodWebs</a> that fish depend on, McCauley says."There are also important questions about whether we actually need to be mining the seabed to get enough of these minerals for technologies like batteries, says Micah Ziegler, assistant professor of energy and chemical systems at Georgia Institute of Technology."While a couple of years ago researchers were concerned about the limitations of land-based mining for metals like cobalt and nickel, a variety of alternative <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#battery</a> chemistries have been developed that might reduce the need for those elements, Ziegler says."Read more: <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/25/nx-s1-5376482/trump-seabed-mining-executive-order" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.npr.org/2025/04/25/nx-s1-5376482/trump-seabed-mining-executive-order</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OceansAreLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OceansAreLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarineLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarineLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeepSeaMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeepSeaMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDeepSeaMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoDeepSeaMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DarkOxygen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkOxygen</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LifeOnEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LifeOnEarth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Extinction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nodules" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nodules</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Greenwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Greenwashing</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporatePolluters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporatePolluters</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpSucks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrumpSucks</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Idiocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Idiocracy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BatteryAlternatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BatteryAlternatives</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoCobaltMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoCobaltMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RecycleCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RecycleCopper</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RecycleCobalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RecycleCobalt</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RecycleZinc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RecycleZinc</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Recycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Recycle</a>! <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ecocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ecocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlanetDestroyers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlanetDestroyers</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanGreed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanGreed</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoJobsOnADeadPlanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoJobsOnADeadPlanet</a>

But Goma is now under M23 control and that plan has been put on hold. M23 controls tracts of mineral-rich territory."A source close to the Congolese government told Reuters an initial deployment of Prince's advisers was expected to start in the south, far from the area controlled by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/M23" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#M23</a> and its allies."

By Jason Hickel, Giorgos Kallis, Tim Jackson, Daniel W. O’Neill, Juliet B. Schor, Julia K. Steinberger, Peter A. Victor & Diana Ürge-Vorsatz, 12 December 2022Excerpt: "The global economy is structured around growth — the idea that firms, industries and nations must increase production every year, regardless of whether it is needed. This dynamic is driving climate change and ecological breakdown. High-income economies, and the corporations and wealthy classes that dominate them, are mainly responsible for this problem and consume energy and materials at unsustainable rates."Yet many industrialized countries are now struggling to grow their economies, given economic convulsions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, resource scarcities and stagnating productivity improvements. Governments face a difficult situation. Their attempts to stimulate growth clash with objectives to improve human well-being and reduce environmental damage."GDP is getting a makeover — what it means for economies, health and the planet"Researchers in ecological economics call for a different approach — degrowth. Wealthy economies should abandon growth of gross domestic product (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GDP</a>) as a goal, scale down destructive and unnecessary forms of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/production" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#production</a> to reduce energy and material use, and focus economic activity around securing human needs and well-being.

It frees up energy and materials for low- and middle-income countries in which growth might still be needed for development.

A programme of this type would end unemployment and ensure a just transition out of jobs for workers in declining industries or 'sunset sectors', such as those contingent on fossil fuels. It could be paired with a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversalIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UniversalIncome</a> policy."Reduce working time. This could be achieved by lowering the retirement age, encouraging part-time working or adopting a four-day working week [and hybrid or remote work]. These measures would lower <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonEmissions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarbonEmissions</a> and free people to engage in care and other welfare-improving activities. They would also stabilize employment as less-necessary production declines."Enable <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sustainable</a> development. This requires cancelling unfair and unpayable debts of low- and middle-income countries, curbing unequal exchange in international trade and creating conditions for productive capacity to be reoriented towards achieving social objectives."Some countries, regions and cities have already introduced elements of these policies. Many European nations guarantee free health care and education; Vienna and Singapore are renowned for high-quality public housing; and nearly 100 cities worldwide offer free public transport. Job guarantee schemes have been used by many nations in the past, and experiments with basic incomes and shorter working hours are under way in Finland, Sweden and New Zealand."But implementing a more comprehensive strategy of degrowth — in a safe and just way — faces five key research challenges, as we outline here."Read more: <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04412-x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04412-x</a>Archived version: <a href="https://archive.ph/AtJ87" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.ph/AtJ87</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FourDayWorkweek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FourDayWorkweek</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RemoteWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RemoteWork</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HybridWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HybridWork</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CircularEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CircularEconomy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CapitalismKills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CapitalismKills</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectMotherEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectMotherEarth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuyLess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuyLess</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuyNothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuyNothing</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LibraryOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibraryOfThings</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a>

They were wholly disrespectful of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRockSioux</a> Tribe, our ancestors, and our youth, who started the movement in 2016 to protect our water from an oil spill from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DAPL</a>. Neither Greenpeace nor anyone else paid or persuaded Standing Rock to oppose DAPL. "Our young people and our elders urged us to protect our water and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnciMakah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnciMakah</a> (grandmother earth). That is what happened, and is happening still. Energy Transfer’s false and self-serving narrative that Greenpeace manipulated Standing Rock into protesting DAPL is patronizing and disrespectful to our people."We understand that many Morton County residents support the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OilIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OilIndustry</a>, even out-of-state <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pipeline</a> companies such as Energy Transfer. But we are your neighbors, and you should not be fooled that easily. Energy Transfer does not know us. They don’t know who we are – an Indigenous Nation that has survived every attack because our ancestors are with us. "Greenpeace did not manipulate Standing Rock, but <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransfer</a> has manipulated <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MortonCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MortonCounty</a>. DAPL crosses our Treaty and aboriginal land for hundreds of miles. "Our ancestors occupied this land for thousands of years before <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorthDakota</a> came into existence. The land between the Heart and Missouri River are our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unceded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unceded</a> Treaty lands under the 1868 and 1851 Fort Laramie Treaties. Our aboriginally-occupied territories extend east to the James River and beyond. That is a historical truth. If Greenpeace can be held liable for telling the truth about Sioux Nation Treaty rights, then we are all in trouble."The construction of Fort Rice on our northern boundary in 1864 was a violation of the Fort Laramie Treaties. This required our Tribe to be vigilant. No one should be surprised that warrior society burials are found in this area, near the pipeline route."And do not insult our cultural experts, who have wisdom over matters most residents of Morton County or bureaucrats at the State Historical Society know absolutely nothing about. Energy Transfer and its lawyers should be ashamed of themselves. Everyday North Dakotans on the jury should know better."When it comes to the excessive police and private security response to the generally peaceful protests at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CannonBall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CannonBall</a>, believe your eyes. The scenes of guard dogs menacing Tribal members are reminiscent of the violence of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteSupremacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteSupremacists</a> in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeepSouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeepSouth</a> during the 1950’s and 60’s, but it was in North Dakota, in this day and age. It was on the news and on the internet."Many of the protesters were Native American veterans of the United States armed forces. Energy Transfer used attack dogs against peaceful protesters and war heroes. But the jury sided with the out-of-state, unlicensed security with the attack dogs, instead of North Dakota veterans who supported Standing Rock."A Texas oil company has come to North Dakota, and its lawyers and propaganda machine are weaving stories about how the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and our supporters have lied, and how the poor pipeline company, a trillion dollars richer than in 2016 when this all started, should receive extra millions from non-profit organizations. It’s a funny thing about liars – they always accuse everyone else of lying. The Greenpeace trial was marked by secrecy."The court is not making the transcript public. The documents obtained by Greenpeace about Energy Transfer’s terrible safety record are protected by a secrecy order and are not available to the public. The judge exhibited so much bias in favor of Energy Transfer that a team of international human rights lawyers felt compelled to monitor the trial. One prominent monitor stated 'In my six decades of legal practice, I have never witnessed a trial as unfair as the one against Greenpeace that just ended in the courts of North Dakota.'"Standing Rock has tried to work for greater transparency on DAPL. It is our experience with the Army Corps of Engineers and Energy Transfer that all documents relating to DAPL pipeline safety are heavily redacted, and kept secret. What are they hiding? Who is looking out for the communities that may be affected by an oil spill? And why didn’t the North Dakota court allow Greenpeace to address these questions at the trial? "DAPL is a dangerous pipeline. It crosses our unceded Treaty and aboriginal land. Energy Transfer destroyed Tribal burials as identified by our cultural experts, and committed violence against our people. That is the history that North Dakota and Morton County must reckon with. After the Greenpeace verdict, that day seems farther off than ever."

Like many far right figures before and after, Hitler aimed to restore a state of nature that for him was a perpetual state of race war for imperial dominance." <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2017/01/20-lessons-from-the-20th-century-about-how-to-defend-democracies-from-authoritarianism.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.openculture.com/2017/01/20-lessons-from-the-20th-century-about-how-to-defend-democracies-from-authoritarianism.html</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Histodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Histodon</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hitler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hitler</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HyperCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HyperCapitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a>

"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransfer</a> claims Greenpeace secretly aided and abetted destructive and violent behavior by protesters during the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/demonstrations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#demonstrations</a>, which took place in south central <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorthDakota</a> near the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockReservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRockReservation</a> in 2016 and 2017. It also claims that Greenpeace orchestrated a misinformation campaign to defame the company, leading a group of banks to back out of financing the project. Energy Transfer seeks roughly $300 million from the environmental organization."Greenpeace denies Energy Transfer’s allegations. The group says it has never condoned violence, and only played a supporting role during the protests."Tilsen said he got involved in the protests before Greenpeace. He was invited to join the cause by former Standing Rock Chairman Dave Archambault and his sister, Jodi Archambault, he said."'They called me and said, ‘Hey, we need your help at Standing Rock,’ Tilsen said."Standing Rock has long opposed the Dakota Access Pipeline, stating the project poses a pollution threat, infringes on tribal sovereignty and has disrupted sacred cultural sites."It was Standing Rock leadership that laid the groundwork for the protests against the pipeline’s construction in 2016, Tilsen said."He said organizers later invited Greenpeace to support the camps, including by providing supplies and nonviolent direct action training. Tilsen said he only felt comfortable reaching out to Greenpeace because a friend of his, Cy Wagoner, worked there."He said since Wagoner is from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NavajoNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NavajoNation</a>, he trusted that Greenpeace would respect Standing Rock’s leadership of the camps."Indigenous communities are often reluctant to invite outside nonprofits to help with Native rights issues, Tilsen added. He said they often don’t understand Native nations’ unique relationship with the U.S. government."Greenpeace wasn’t a big part of the protests, Tilsen said."'To be honest, most of the tribal nations didn’t know who Greenpeace was,' he said."Countless other groups — including representatives from more than 300 Native nations — came to the protest camps in solidarity with Standing Rock, said Tilsen."'Quite frankly, our list of allies was hundreds,' he said."Tilsen said he was involved in several protest actions against the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016 and 2017, including those that involved marching on the pipeline easement, jumping in front of equipment and using lockboxes — also known as 'sleeping dragons' — to disable construction machinery."None of the protest actions were coordinated by Greenpeace, he said."Tilsen said he never saw or endorsed any destruction of property or acts of violence toward construction workers or law enforcement. He also pushed back on the assertion that any of the protest activities he participated in qualified as trespassing. "The pipeline passes through land recognized as belonging to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SiouxNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiouxNation</a> under <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/treaties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#treaties</a> signed by the U.S. government in 1851 and 1868. The U.S. government later annexed that land in violation of those treaties."Tilsen asked how Lakota citizens could be trespassing on land that was unlawfully taken from them. "'This is the conundrum we find ourselves in,' he said."Employees of Greenpeace said during video depositions played last week that the environmental organization brought 20 to 30 lockboxes to the camps."Tilsen said while he saw many lockboxes during protests, he wasn’t sure where any of them came from. He also said he never heard anyone from Greenpeace tell demonstrators to use the devices."Tilsen said that David Khoury, an employee for Greenpeace, helped identify potential sites for protest actions. Tilsen added that while Wagoner — another Greenpeace employee — didn’t plan protest activities, he trained people on how to conduct them."The trial, which is before Southwest Central Judicial District Judge James Gion, is expected to last roughly four more weeks."Source: <a href="https://northdakotamonitor.com/2025/03/03/witness-most-tribal-nations-at-dakota-access-pipeline-protest-didnt-know-who-greenpeace-was/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://northdakotamonitor.com/2025/03/03/witness-most-tribal-nations-at-dakota-access-pipeline-protest-didnt-know-who-greenpeace-was/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandWithStandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandWithStandingRock</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoDAPL</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KelcyWarren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KelcyWarren</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigOil</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigOilAndGas</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalRacism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRock</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SLAPPs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoDAPL</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPsLawsuits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SLAPPsLawsuits</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SilencingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ACAB</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransfer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnicornRiot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnicornRiot</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalizingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ACAB</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blackwater</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ErikPrince</a>

On Tuesday, Trump reiterated his threat to cut funding for educational institutions that permit 'illegal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protests</a>,' marking his latest move to control federal spending in the education sector."Trump took to his own social media platform, Truth Social, to issue a statement, warning that students participating in these protests would face expulsion or arrest. He also declared that agitators will be permanently sent back to the country from which they came.'"In a stern warning to educational institutions, Trump declared, 'All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.'"The announcement comes as the US government weighs the withdrawal of over $50 million in contracts from Columbia University, following allegations that it failed to protect Jewish students during protests against Israel's war in Gaza."Trump has consistently opposed protests against him, despite his and his party's emphasis on free speech in the US.
