CW: CW - Talk of Death
Many years ago (I think back in 1987), I had a vision of being in #PortlandME, on a hill by the ocean (Munjoy Hill), at a protest, and was assassinated (shot in the back). That vision has never scared me off, and I even organized protests in that spot... Because, to know that I might die defending the rights of others to exist (and Mother Earth to flourish), and to possibly die standing up for what I believe is right, is to die as a warrior. And to be a warrior for human rights and Mother Earth is what is so needed right now. I'm not afraid to die. And I'm not afraid to live. I've lived my life fully, and have had close brushes with death. But to me, to die a coward is a fate worse than death.

#LawFirms, #universities and now #CivilSociety groups are in #Trump’s sights for #punitive action
By LISA MASCARO
Updated 12:04 AM EDT, April 18, 2025WASHINGTON (AP) — "First the nation’s top law firms. Then its premier universities. Now, President Donald Trump is leaning on the #advocacy groups that underpin U.S. civil society.
"Trump said Thursday that the administration is looking at the tax-exempt status not just of Harvard, but environmental groups and specifically the ethics watchdog organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or #CREW. It could be a devastating financial blow to the #nonprofit organizations — and his perceived #PoliticalFoes.
"The president’s remarks, during an event at the White House, began to confirm what advocacy groups have been quietly warning: Trump’s campaign of retribution is coming next for them.
" 'It’s supposed to be a charitable organization,' Trump said about CREW, in particular. 'The only charity they had is going after Donald Trump. So we’re looking at that. We’re looking at a lot of things.' "

#WorstCaseScenario -- We revolt, there's a clamp down, and we make DAMN SURE the world knows about it. If we're going to sacrifice ourselves, it should not be in vain. That's all I'm saying. #MartialLaw could happen. The soldiers could join us. We need to be prepared for anything at this point.

Bill to increase #LithiumMining regulations killed in [#SouthDakota] state House
By Amelia Schafer Feb 14, 2025
"A new bill to increase regulations on lithium mining in South Dakota failed to make it out of the state House on Thursday.
"House Bill 1258, proposed by Rep. Nichole Uhre-Balk, D-Rapid City, would have placed lithium mining under the same regulations as gold and silver rather than its current sand and gravel standards.
"Hard rock mining (gold and silver) is subject to stricter #WaterPollution control regulations than sand and gravel mining.
"Organizations like #MidwestLithium are currently exploring mining operations in the hills. Most lithium in the hills is found around the #HarneyPeak Granite formation, according to the organization's webpage."The South Dakota lithium project is comprised of roughly 23,500 acres of both #federal and private Land.
The House Agriculture and Natural Resources committee first split 6-6 on a do-pass motion Thursday before voting 8-4 to send the bill to the 41st day, killing it."''I think the general consensus is that the issue needs to be addressed, and so we'll continue to look harder at that, make sure we get all of our any concerns addressed and try to bring that bill back next year,' Uhre-Balk told the crowd at Saturday's crackerbarrel event hosted by Elevate Rapid City.
"Organizations like the local Indigenous led nonprofit #NDNCollective and the #BlackHillsCleanWaterAssociation spoke out in support of the bill Wednesday, stating that increased lithium mining threatens clean water for Black Hills residents especially since its treated like sand or gravel mining.
"Critics of the bill, such as Mike Lees, program administrator for the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Minerals Mining Program, said current regulations are sufficient. At the crackerbarrel, Rep. Tim Goodwin, R-Rapid City, said the bill, 'was going to choke off mining. It was bureaucratic.'
"Uhre-Balk said the bill wouldn't stop mining.
"House Agriculture committee members cited a need to better understand the issue when voting to send it to the 41st day.
"The #SouthDakotaMineralIndustriesOrganization was not immediately available for comment."

[Thread] Unfortunately, South Dakota #HB1258 was defeated [which would have put more restrictions on #LithiumMining]... And I knew Burgum would betray #NativeAmericans (even though he promised not to).
‘Unleashing American Energy’: Mining and Drilling Accelerated Under Trump Administration
By Angelica (Angie) Solloa • February 12, 2025
"You may have heard that #DebHaaland (Laguna Pueblo) transitioned out of her role as the US Secretary of the Department of Interior and announced her candidacy for Governor New Mexico. Her successor, former North Dakota Governor #DougBurgum, is steadfast in carrying out Trump’s Executive Order 14154 '#UnleashingAmericanEnergy' which aims to accelerate #mining and drilling on federal and #TribalLands.
"On February 3rd, Doug Burgum released this document which outlines all the revoked projects and programs intended to protect land and the people; giving a pathway for #MiningCompanies to hit the ground running across Turtle Island.
"In the #BlackHills, the #SacredLands of the #Lakota Peoples’, mining and drilling companies aren’t hesitating to cash out. Currently, South Dakota House Bill 1258 is under consideration by the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, where it will come to a vote this Thursday, February 13th. Community members and citizens of the area were given just six days’ notice.
WHAT IS HB 1258?
"The passage of South Dakota House Bill 1258 would hold lithium mining to the same standards and laws as silver and gold. Under the current law, lithium mining is treated like mining for sand and gravel, and there are not enough protections for human #health, #food systems, #water, #wildlife, and the #land.
"HB 1258 would offer more accountability and appropriate processes for mining companies that would better protect the land, the people, and the economy of the #Ȟesápa. #NDNCollective, alongside partner the #BlackHillsCleanWaterAlliance, collaborated to spread the word as fast as possible, calling on relatives to swiftly take action ahead of Thursday, February 13th."

#KleeBenally's on his cover of the #TomWaits song "Earth Died Screaming."
"#Climatechange is a consequence of the war against #MotherEarth.
The #greenwashing of #capitalism and #colonialism perpetuates the nightmare of #ecocide and #genocide of #IndigenousPeoples."#LithiumMining is intensifying to meet demand of 'green' #EV cars. This means further targeting and destruction of #Indigenous #SacredLands and water. Support #Hualapai & #Shoshone (and beyond!) resistance to lithium mining.
From mining, transport, milling, and waste, 'clean/green' #Nuclear energy is a deadly lie. There are more than 10,000 abandoned uranium throughout the so-called US that have been left to permanently contaminate our communities with deadly #radioactive pollution. There is also no permanent plan to deal with the highly radioactive waste from nuclear power generation. #YuccaMountain, a sacred site for #WesternShoshone, is still being considered for a national nuclear waste repository.
"For wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles, #ResolutionCopper proclaims that they desperately need to mine the copper beneath #OakFlat, a sacred site for #SanCarlosApache.
"We can't ignore the brutal impacts associated with the sourcing of necessary metals and minerals needed to
'sustain' unsustainable ways of life."#GreenCapitalists and #colonizers dream, while the Earth dies screaming."

#IndigenousWomen from #Brazil: Calls for Action to Protect #Biodiversity, #IndigenousRights and #Climate
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 24, 2024
'We are the Guardians of the Planet'
CALI, #Colombia -- "Indigenous women leaders from Brazil defending their rivers, forests and people, spoke with courage and the fire of their ancestors at the United Nations Biodiversity Convention.
"'We sing because when we sing together, we don't feel that we are alone,' said Deputy Célia Xakriabá, Federal Deputy in Brazilian Congress, and co-founder of the National Articulation of Indigenous Women Warriors of Ancestrality.
"'All of our lands, all of our rivers are being murdered,' Xakriaba said during the press conference today of Women's Earth and Climate Action Network.
"Now in Brazil they are trying to make it legal to #mine our lands, and #deforest our lands, but it is not legal, she said. All of this is making Indigenous women sick, and we need to protect Indigenous women. Seventy percent of our women have given up having children. This is why women must be protected.
"Now, we are trying to protect all of nature, because nature has rights. 'When we kill our women, we are also killing the Earth.'"

"#WaterIsLife!" #Hualapai say as they march today to protect their sacred ceremonial place Ha'Kamwe' from a lithium mine.By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, October 20, 2024

"'Water is life!' Hualapai said as they marched to protect their sacred ceremonial place, Ha'Kamwe' from a lithium mine.
"'For generations and through modern day, Tribal members have used Ha’Kamwe’ (also known as Cofer Hot Spring) for cultural and traditional purposes. It features prominently in tribal songs and stories about their history and connection to their land, including those known as the #SaltSongTrail,' the Hualapai Tribe said in its lawsuit filed against the U.S. Interior.
"Hualapai filed suit against Interior's #DebHalaand. The CEO of the so-called #NavajoTransitionalEnergyCompany, a tribal enterprise based in Farmington, New Mexico, was hired by an Australian company, #Hawkstone, aka #ArizonaLithium, to drill into Hualapai's sacred site for lithium.
"While sipping wine at the Sydney Opera House, #investors heard how much money they can make mining lithium in Arizona. The enthusiastic project manager was excited to tell them that Arizona loves mining, as can be seen with all its #CopperMines.
"'They are a mining friendly state,' says Paul Lloyd, managing director at Arizona Lithium, owned by #HawkstoneEnergy, in Perth, Australia. 'They are very pro-lithium production.'
"Federal judge #DianeHumetewa Hopi, granted a temporary restraining order. Humetewa is the first federal judge in Arizona to halt #Haaland's runaway train of permits for destruction.
"Hualapai's lawsuit said the Interior's #BureauOfLandManagement, BLM, never consulted Hualapai before authorizing #drilling."

#NDN LIVE | Walk Against the Illegal Transportation of #Uranium on the #NavajoNation
"We are LIVE on Dinétah at #CameronArizona for the Walk Against the Illegal Transportation of Uranium on the Navajo Nation.
"On July 30, 2024 a uranium company named #EnergyFuels hauled its materials through the Navajo Nation and was stopped and escorted off Navajo lands by the Navajo Police Department by order of #NavajoNation President #BuuNygren.
"A call was made by Navajo Nation First Lady Jasmine Blackwater-Nygren and Diné organizers on August 1, 2024 to walk in opposition to the illegal transport of uranium on Navajo land at Cameron, AZ.
"The assertion of #sovereignty on #IndigenousLands by #IndigenousPeoples for the protection of land, water, life, and people is a major factor in this. The Energy Fuels’ #PinyonPlain #UraniumMine has affected the #Havasupai, #Navajo, #Ute, and #Hopi Nations by #contamination of land and water sources, illegal transport of uranium materials on tribal land, and existing without tribal consultation.
"The Pinyon Plain mine was built in 1990, but the legacy of US nuclear colonialism on Indigenous lands and communities goes back decades prior."

Exponential #Landfill Expansion Proposal Must Take Into Account #EnvironmentalJustice
by Josh Woodbury July 25, 2024
“The #PenobscotNation continues to have grave concerns about the management of the #JuniperRidgeLandfill which has had a negative impact on our lands, waters, and people. The practices employed at the site over the years have added to the harmful #contamination of our sacred homeland, the #PenobscotRiver. The health and well being of our citizens is directly linked to the health and well being of the river. Due to industrial and waste management #pollutants such as forever chemicals, #PFAS, affecting the river we have not been able to continue our cultural value of being a sustenance fishing people because the fish in the river are not healthy enough for us to consume more than small amounts. This disruption is not just about a food source, it is about the connection to our ancestors and very ways of being suffering due to the oppressive nature of profit over people and the ethos of environmental injustice that places marginalized communities in harm’s way. The expansion of Juniper Ridge under #Casella perpetuates harms against the Penobscot Nation, who are the original stewards of these lands and waters dating back over 10,000 years. Coupled with the questionable nature of if this initiative is in line with state statutes, there is no reason to think favorably of it. We add our voice to the assertion that there is no public benefit to this expansion, quite the opposite.” - Penobscot Nation Ambassador #MaulianBryant, July 16, 2024.
"#CasellaWasteSystems has applied for an expansion of the Juniper Ridge Landfill that could more than double its size. Under law, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection [#MDEP] must determine whether an expansion has 'public benefit.' They also must consider Environmental Justice when looking at the industrial facility’s impact on surrounding communities, including the Penobscot Nation. The #DEP will make a decision by August 23rd. Public comments are currently being accepted.
"After a hard fought push back from area residents, including members of the Penobscot Nation, the DEP is now required to consider 'Environmental Justice' when making a determination about whether a landfill expansion meets the '#PublicBenefit' criteria. The DEP will decide if the criteria is met [in August]."

“The #PenobscotNation continues to have grave concerns about the management of the #JuniperRidgeLandfill which has had a negative impact on our lands, waters, and people. The practices employed at the site over the years have added to the harmful #contamination of our sacred homeland, the #PenobscotRiver. The health and well being of our citizens is directly linked to the health and well being of the river. Due to industrial and waste management #pollutants such as forever chemicals, #PFAS, affecting the river we have not been able to continue our cultural value of being a sustenance fishing people because the fish in the river are not healthy enough for us to consume more than small amounts. This disruption is not just about a food source, it is about the connection to our ancestors and very ways of being suffering due to the oppressive nature of profit over people and the ethos of environmental injustice that places marginalized communities in harm’s way. The expansion of Juniper Ridge under #Casella perpetuates harms against the Penobscot Nation, who are the original stewards of these lands and waters dating back over 10,000 years. Coupled with the questionable nature of if this initiative is in line with state statutes, there is no reason to think favorably of it. We add our voice to the assertion that there is no public benefit to this expansion, quite the opposite.” - Penobscot Nation Ambassador #MaulianBryant, July 16, 2024.
"#CasellaWasteSystems has applied for an expansion of the Juniper Ridge Landfill that could more than double its size. Under law, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection [#MDEP] must determine whether an expansion has 'public benefit.' They also must consider Environmental Justice when looking at the industrial facility’s impact on surrounding communities, including the Penobscot Nation. The #DEP will make a decision by August 23rd. Public comments are currently being accepted.
"After a hard fought push back from area residents, including members of the Penobscot Nation, the DEP is now required to consider 'Environmental Justice' when making a determination about whether a landfill expansion meets the '#PublicBenefit' criteria. The DEP will decide if the criteria is met [in August]."

#Navajo President #BuuNygren issues executive order to enforce laws to ban irresponsible, unsafe transport of #radioactive material across #NavajoNation
By Navajo President Buu Nygren, #CensoredNews
July 31, 2024WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – "Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren today issued an executive order to require an agreement be in place prior to the transport of radioactive material through the Navajo Nation.
"The executive order will be in effect for the next six months.
'This was much needed,' the President said. 'We’re taking this stance of interpreting and executing the law to ensure the safety of our people and respect for Navajo #sovereignty. It’s our job as the executive branch to enforce these laws.'"Citing the Navajo Nation Natural Resources Protection Act of 2005 and the Navajo Nation’s 2012 Radioactive and Related Substances, Equipment, Vehicles, Persons and Materials Transportation Act, he said Navajo laws regarding the transportation of radioactive materials have been in place for well over a decade.
"'We’re a land of laws,' President Nygren said. 'As the executive branch, as the President of the Navajo Nation, we’re here to enforce these laws to make sure nobody’s breaking these laws.'
"Yesterday, #EnergyFuelsResources , Inc., owner of the #PinyonPlainMine south of Grand Canyon did not provide notice to Navajo Nation officials of the transport of and estimated 50 tons of #uranium mine ore through the heart of the Navajo Nation.
"The company’s failure to seek approval from the Navajo Nation for the transport of radioactive materials across its land disregards the Nation’s governmental authority and sovereignty, President Nygren said.
"'If you’re going to smuggle uranium into our borders and across our Nation and outside, that’s pretty much illegal,' he said. 'I’m very disappointed that this is happening in this day and age.'"

#Navajo Nation: Two #Uranium Trucks Reached Mill as Tribal Police Pursued
Navajo President #BuuNygren, Navajo Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley condemn today’s unauthorized transport of uranium ore through Nation
Navajo Nation Statement,
#CensoredNews, July 30, 2024WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – "Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren this morning deployed the Navajo police to attempt to halt the illegal transportation of uranium ore from the Pinyon Plain Mine to the White Mesa Mill in southeastern Utah.
By the end of the day, he received a report that two trucks carrying the uranium ore had reached Utah."'What was very disappointing today is that we were under the assumption that we would get 10 days or two weeks heads up if that this was going to happen,' he said. 'Then, at the same time, we were made aware that transportation was not going to happen until October or November.'
"The President said he learned at 11:30 a.m. today that the trucks were en route without notification from #EnergyFuels, the owner of the #PinyonPlain Mine, that the transportation of ore was to happen.
"'They snuck through the #NavajoNation and they made it onto the Utah side, outside of the reservation,' the President said. 'To me, they operated covertly to travel the Navajo Nation illegally. It’s very disappointing that they did that, that they smuggled uranium across our Nation which is very inappropriate.'
"Navajo Nation Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley expressed the concern of the Council upon hearing the news.
'The Navajo Nation Council strongly condemn today’s action by #EnergyFuelsResources,' the Speaker said. 'Our Navajo people have suffered for many years, and many lost their lives due to #UraniumMining on our homelands. The Navajo Nation will continue to oppose and fight against the transportation of uranium ore through our lands for the health and safety of our people.'"Read more:
