Statement of #IndependentTrialMonitors
On Verdict in #GreenpeaceUSA Trial:

"It is our collective assessment that the jury verdict against Greenpeace in #NorthDakota reflects a deeply flawed trial with multiple due process violations that denied Greenpeace the ability to present anything close to a full defense. Attorneys on our team monitored every minute of the proceedings and found multiple violations of #DueProcess that denied Greenpeace its right to a fair trial. The problems included a jury that was patently biased in favor of #EnergyTransfer, with many members working in the #FossilFuel industry; a judge who lacked the requisite experience and legal knowledge to rule properly on the complex #FirstAmendment and other evidentiary issues at the center of the case; and incendiary and prejudicial statements by lawyers for Energy Transfer that tried to criminalize Greenpeace and by extension the entire #ClimateMovement by attacking constitutionally-protected advocacy.

"Our fear that this was an illegitimate #corporate-funded #SLAPP harassment case was confirmed by our observations.

"We will be issuing a full report documenting these violations and larger flaws in the case in the coming weeks.

"While the trial court verdict is in, the case is far from over. Greenpeace has a right to appeal to the North Dakota Supreme Court and ultimately to the #USSupremeCourt. Our committee will continue its work monitoring this critically important case that raises troubling concerns for all advocates in the country."

#ApacheStronghold: U.S. Give-Away would Destroy Spiritual Home of #Apache

By Wendsler Nosie, Apache Stronghold, March 13, 2025, via #CensoredNews

"In the heart of #TontoNationalForest in #Arizona lies a place that my people, the #WesternApache, still hold above all others. This place is Chi'chil Biłdagoteel, also known as Oak Flat. To us, it is more than a stretch of land; it is sacred and holy. It is where our ancestors walked, where we gather to pray, to carry out ceremonies passed down through generations, and to speak to our Creator.

"This land is part of who we are as a people, and its spirit is bound to our own.
Now, the federal government plans to give our sacred Oak Flat to a multinational #mining #corporation owned by the Chinese Communist Party. This will not just scar the land; it will destroy it, poisoning the environment and trampling on our tribal rights. But the deepest wound will be the loss of our spiritual home, a place our people cannot exist without. We are fighting this in the courts, all the way to the #USSupremeCourt. But this is about more than law and policy—this is about survival of our way of life and the spirit of this sacred land.

今天去翻看美國最高法院對TikTok案的判決意見。
因為這個判決結果蠻意外的。
美國最高法院很少碰和地緣政治相關的案件，
而且這次的決定還是一邊倒的。

法理論述的部分果然沒看懂。
裡面引用了很多過去的案例，
要有對美國憲法第一修正案很熟悉的人，
來解釋大概才能夠比較好的理解。

至少到目前，TikTok在美國的確是不能用了。
TikTok告訴用戶的意思就是，
等Trump川皇上任後，就會拯救我們了。

過去4年都沒有被賣掉，沒有解決的問題。
再給一次性的90天時間，大概也是來不及賣掉的。
Trump是在打什麼算盤呢。
