Wow. This might explain why the New York Times has been silent on my 600-day house arrest without trial. Billionaire Robert Denham sits on the boards of both Chevron and the NYT. @NYTimes : Comment?

On Indigenous People's Day, I salute the Amazon nations from Ecuador who won the historic pollution case against Chevron for the poisoning of their ancestral lands: the Secoya, Cofan, Siona, Huaorani and Quichua. Chevron has spent $3 billion to silence you — and failed.

With 2 days to go, I'm emotional thinking about our incredible journey. This is me 19 years ago in Ecuador on the 1st day of the historic trial where Amazon peoples held @Chevron accountable for the poisoning of their ancestral lands. Still feel the same intensity. Onward.❤️

When an engineer charged Norfolk rail with "nuking" an Ohio town, this is what he meant. Poisoning an entire population with a mushroom cloud of chemicals was a cheaper way to get the rails moving. Never let a polluter clean its own mess.

BREAKING: Ian Austen now reports that up to 30,000 missing Indigenous children might be in makeshift graves at Catholic schools in Canada — not the 4,100 initially reported. That means as many as 1 out of every 5 children forced into these genocidal "schools" never came home.

I'm up in the middle of the night. With only hours left until my release, I was just startled out of a deep sleep at 4:43 am by the prison monitoring center. Had to submit a "biometric check-in" photo to verify I'm actually home. They call it "policy". I call it abuse. 👊

For an act of peaceful civil disobedience to block an oil pipeline, a judge designated Jessica Reznicek a "terrorist" and gave her a draconian 8-year prison term. Courts must not be used by the fossil fuel industry to silence the heroes who defend our Earth. @FreeJessRez

BREAKING: NYT reports a Supreme Court "charity" took $190,000 in secret donations from @Chevron when the company had cases (including Ecuador) pending before the justices. Other corporations also donated. Horrifying. Why are these conflicts allowed?⤵️

BREAKING: A widely-circulated photo clearly shows members of the SWAT team in Atlanta that killed climate activist Manuel Terán were wearing body cameras. Terán's mother says her child was assassinated. So where is the footage? @defendATLforest @GBI_GA

Great to see Pink Floyd founder @rogerwaters today in NYC at the "Free Julian Assange" rally at the British consulate. He demanded President Biden release the journalist who exposed US war crimes in Iraq. Why is US media not raising hell about an attack on one of their own?

While I'm on "trial" facing prison, Loretta Preska—my judge, jury and fact finder—has been casually reading the newspaper from the bench during witness testimony. It feels like it was over before it began.

BREAKING: New evidence emerges that former Brazil President Bolsonaro committed genocide after 500 Indigenous children perish from malnutrition. Their river had been poisoned by illegal mining. Why does Bolsonaro have safe haven in the United States?

Now that I'm out of prison, let's not forget @Chevron 's 1,000 toxic waste pits abandoned in Ecuador's Amazon. Indigenous peoples are dying from this horrific environmental crime that has lasted 50 years. The solution is simple: clean it up.

Sherry Boston is the Georgia prosecutor who without a valid legal basis charged dozens of peaceful Cop City protestors as "terrorists" and jailed them without trial. I consider her a major human rights violator and an embarrassment to those she serves. Shameful abuse of power.
