Subzero temps, mass arrests, and a shutdown that is still swelling the streets. Thousands across Minnesota are marching, on work stoppage, and risking arrest to say: immigrants are welcome here. From @sarahlazare.bsky.social with @workdaymagazine.bsky.social

“Immigrants Are Welcome Here”: Thousands of Minnesotans Take to the Streets to Stop ICE

Extreme cold couldn't stop the Minnesota shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested in an act of civil disobedience and scores of residents participated in the work stoppage, a massive...

New: I spoke to Rice University Latin American Studies Professor Luis Duno-Gottberg and @sdonziger.bsky.social about the history of U.S. oil adventurism in Venezuela and the role Chevron is set to play in Trump's blood-for-oil imperial venture. www.texasobserver.org/houston-oil-...

Why Houston Oil Majors Are Hesitant to Go All In on Venezuela

Though petro-giants have long sought lost assets in the South American country, they have reasons, for now at least, not to leap at Trump’s invitation to join his war on the climate and the internatio...

Big Oil’s goal is to silence environmental activism worldwide. Here’s what happened to human rights lawyer @sdonziger.bsky.social when he helped win a landmark lawsuit against Chevron in Ecuador:

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables. Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine. Is this why? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

UPDATE🚨 An immigration board issued a final removal order last night for journalist Mario Guevara. He could be deported any moment. We renew our demand for his immediate release. #FreeMario

ACLU@aclu.org · 11mo ago

BREAKING: Last night, an immigration board wrongly issued a final removal order for Emmy award-winning journalist Mario Guevara. ICE has detained Mario for over 100 days for his reporting, despite a previous order that he be released on bond. This means he could be deported at any moment.

In 2023, we won the Build Public Renewables Act — a groundbreaking law empowering NYS to speed up the clean energy transition and lower your bills with publicly-owned power. Today is the deadline to tell the New York Power Authority that we need a plan for 15 GW by 2030. Take urgent action below.

Saikat Chakrabarti, one of the most talented young political leaders in the country, has set his sights high for the 2026 midterms. I predict he will win. @saikatforcongress.bsky.social

🚨TAKE ACTION NOW:🚨 Chris Smalls (US) & Hatem Aouini (Tunisia) remain imprisoned in Givon Prison, now on day 5 of a hunger strike in protest of their violent, degrading detention for attempting the break Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza & stand against the genocide of the Palestinian people. ...2/

My friend Chris Smalls was the only black man among the 20 activists on the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social. He also appears to be the only passenger violently assaulted by Israeli forces after those on the boat were abducted before they could deliver life-saving aid to starving children in Gaza.

I used a predictive model to conclude the actual death toll in Gaza is way higher than the media is reporting. As of July 21, Israel had killed ~434,000 people, or 20.7% of Gaza’s entire pre-conflict population. Equivalent to 70M people dead in the US. stevendonziger.substack.com/p/shock-isra...

I am deeply honored to present the amazing @mikaelaloach.bsky.social as the first guest on my podcast Donziger on Justice. I asked Mikaela if she thought the climate crisis could be addressed in a capitalist framework. She flat-out said, "No." Watch the full episode at the link in my bio.

We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?

Thrilled to meet with a climate justice leader whom I’ve long admired. @mikaelaloach.bsky.social’s amazing book It's Not That Radical just hit the US market. I’m inspired by Mikaela and so many young leaders of her generation who are building the power we need to create the just society we deserve.

🧵: One of the most inspiring medical doctors in the U.S. @rupamarya.bsky.social just sued the hell out of the largest hospital system in San Francisco for violating her free speech rights after she condemned Israel over its atrocities in Gaza. This is a major test for free speech & academic freedom.

My apologies for the technical difficulties that prevented me from joining the livestream with @climatehuman.bsky.social. We will reschedule!

“Roth has taken a maximalist view of presidential power, arguing that President Donald Trump has ‘expansive authority over foreign affairs, national security, and immigration’ to justify some of the more eyebrow-raising Department of Homeland Security moves."

The US Supreme Court is being devoured by a monster of its own creation. After the Court granted the President immunity, Trump is now openly mocking a 9-0 decision that a man mistakenly abducted into a gulag in El Salvador be brought home. The rule of law is dying because our high court is failing.

“There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’” My myth-busting piece for The Guardian today arguing that it is factually inaccurate & totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ & are automatically ‘criminals’. I bring receipts:

Meet the seven brilliant student-scholars disappeared off the streets of the US by the Trump Administration for criticizing Israel’s atrocities in Gaza. Four are being held in brutal for-profit ICE detention centers in Louisiana. None are charged with a crime. Free them now. ⤵️

The farcical oil industry show trial against Greenpeace in North Dakota ended 10 days ago, but the battle over the appeal is just beginning. I outline in the @theguardian.com why Greenpeace is unlikely to pay even one dollar of the $667 million judgment. ⤵️

I was an independent observer in the Greenpeace trial. What I saw was shocking | Steven Donziger

Greenpeace lost – not because it did something wrong but because it was denied a fair trial

theguardian.com

A North Dakota jury ordered Greenpeace to pay $667 million to an oil company for its alleged involvement in the Standing Rock protests. The lawsuit attempts to “chill First Amendment rights” for environmental and Indigenous activists, says human rights lawyer @sdonziger.bsky.social.

BREAKING: In a deeply unfair trial, the Energy Transfer pipeline company won a $700m verdict against Greenpeace today in North Dakota over phantom “damages” from the Standing Rock protests. This is an attack on Indigenous peoples, the climate movement, and the right to protest. ⤵️

Energy Transfer’s bogus SLAPP case in North Dakota against @greenpeace.org took a stunning turn today during closing arguments when the company more than doubled its damages claim to $800 million. This a full-scale attack on the climate movement — and an absolute outrage. 👊👊⤵️⤵️
