This is horrific though not surprising. A North Dakota jury has done the bidding of the oil pipeline company and claims the Indigenous-led movement at Standing Rock was somehow instigated and led by Greenpeace. At once racist and designed to silence a major environmental organization.

The trial verdict is in. A jury in the Morton County courthouse found Greenpeace International and two Greenpeace entities in the United States liable for over US$ 660 million combined in Energy Transfer’s meritless SLAPP lawsuit.
