🧵 4/6) They are tracking age progression to better inform AI how to identify people. More surveillance in a totalitarian regime is always bad, and we all need to be more careful and aware about how we are being surveilled.

🧵 3/6) Why do you think the government wants to take your picture all the time and have a running database of it? With the very real authoritarian government, what purpose is it going to serve?

🧵 2/6) Y'all should not be allowing your picture taken every time you enter the airport. When I tell people this they say, "what's the big deal? They have my real ID, passport, etc." And I always say, you are allowed to say no - it's quite literally on the window in most airports I've been to.

As the human rights situation in the U.S. continues to devolve, and U.S. fascism is continually unmasked in new ways, we will see more revolutionary violence.

🧵2) demonizing all forms of violence. That conflation is grotesque on so many levels.
There is a difference between assassinations and revolutionary violence. Charlie Kirk was a fascist and in bed with the Trump regime. He has called for the harm to so many, has inspired others, and as a result,

His damage total wasn’t broken down by event or attributed to any group. He included damages in Iowa and Illinois where Greenpeace never visited. Hard to imagine any organization or group or individual is responsible for all this. 11/

His calculation was the total damages up to early December when USACE denied the easement. He did not take into account pre-December construction stoppages related to Army Corps orders. 10/

Another witness today was an expert on construction damages. He estimated $14,564,048 million in construction contractor costs, attributed to protests: from hiring security to installing barbed wire, to standing around time, to cleaning up debris. 9/

Energy Transfer is drawing on the “outside agitator” and paid protester boogieman. I’m curious to see how Greenpeace will tackle this when they start presenting their defense next week. 8/

Lots of work has been put in in the last week to paint a portrait of professional protesters. Energy Transfer showed an invoice indicating that an Indigenous person from Canada who locked down to construction was being paid by Greenpeace during the time he was there. 7/

Another exhibit was a letter from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe dated August 15, 2016, calling on Indigenous peoples to stand with Standing Rock against DAPL. This refutes the idea that the Standing Rock movement was a Greenpeace thing. 6/

Mahmoud said too that no professional archeologist reviewed the sites identified by Standing Rock before the pipeline company sent bulldozers in, one day later. “It was unnecessary,” he said. 5/

Mahmoud says no sacred sites were destroyed during DAPL construction. He claims it’s impossible because of a 1982 pipeline built along the DAPL footprint
Mahmoud also acknowledged that archeological sites protected by law can be different than culturally significant sites for Indigenous people 4/

“It wasn’t about protesting; it was about trespassing,” Mahmoud said of ET’s previous lawsuit against the SRST chairman.
