Answer: "No."
Most #CriticalMinerals are on #IndigenousLands. Will miners respect #TribalSovereignty?
by Taylar Dawn Stagner, March 26, 2025
"#Mining — whether for #FossilFuels or, increasingly, the critical minerals in high demand today — has a long history of perpetuating violence against #IndigenousPeople. Forcibly removing tribal communities to get to natural resources tied to their homelands has been the rule, not the exception, for centuries.
"Today, more than half of the mineral deposits needed for a global energy transition — including #lithium, #cobalt, #copper, and #nickel to make things like #batteries and #SolarPanels — are found near or beneath Indigenous lands.
"In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution called the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [#UNDRIP] that included the right to free, prior, and informed consent to the use of their lands, a concept known as #FPIC. This principle protects #IndigenousPeoples from being forcibly relocated, provides suitable avenues for redress of past injustices, and gives tribes and communities the right to consent to — and the right to refuse — #extractive industry projects like #mining.
"There’s a lot at stake: When followed, FPIC promises a process that gives Indigenous peoples a voice in how their homelands are used, as well as the right to say no to development altogether. And when it’s not, which is the vast majority of the time, #TribalCommunities are further #disenfranchised, facing #violence and #ForcedRelocation as their #sovereignty and rights are ignored.
"There are an estimated 5,000 tribal communities around the world, encompassing roughly 476 million people across 90 countries, according to the U.N. Different tribes have different opinions on mining, but rarely is their legal right to refuse extraction projects recognized, even under the 2007 declaration.
"Grist talked with five experts to better understand what free, prior, and informed consent should look like in this new era of mineral extraction. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity."

#SAVE #Act || “But our shared surname (O’Moore-Klopf) doesn’t match the surnames on our birth certificates, so if the act becomes law, both of us will be #disenfranchised. We will tell as many citizens of NY State as possible that you don’t know #discrimination when you see it.” (3/4)

Do NOT let the #fascist #MAGAt scum STEAL another election in #NorthCarolina. Follow #JusticeRiggs. Support her fight. Spread the word. This legal battle is going to be long — she’s already spent over $1.2 million fighting just to have her victory upheld. But she’s not backing down. There are thousands of voters who now must “cure” their ballots in 15 days or they will be #disenfranchised. If they don’t, an unelected #MAGA judge will come into power.

#Refugees getting the #shuffle
from the #U.S., #Panama, #Russia, #China, #Pakistan, #Afghanistan, #Iran, #Nepal, etc. #Disenfranchised and nowhere to go, they are the scourge of the world w/out #HumanRights. They are a #global #homeless #crisis.

The irony of sharing this story through social media is not lost on me, but 🤷

@CharJTF @servelan @mister_shade02X2 the #secret could also go sideways on them...there is no way to know the vote choices on uncounted ballots..and there is more at stake than just the White House - #Senate #House - this is a house of cards and the exact wrong people are going to be playing a game of chicken with #democracy by hedging votes tallied and untallied. #disenfranchised #voters may be a high number. In many localities voting could be perilous. #pollworkers #SCOTUS #Bush v #Gore

Please, fellow US citizens, do not #vote by mail in the presidential election. Our postal service is operating with the speed & accuracy of the Pony Express. That means you could end up being #disenfranchised. Vote in person. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/11/election-2024-mail-ballots-voting-postal-service/6246dc26-7057-11ef-ad92-518728118b4a_story.html

@Centurion480 I don’t believe that. Especially if they voted for him in the primaries. They would be disenfranchising themselves. I won’t be #disenfranchised #MyVoteShouldCount #Biden2024

Me and my right to vote:
1) Disenfranchised by the 15-year rule.
2) Disenfranchised by Brexit.
3) ... Disenfranchised because my overseas postal vote arrives the day before the polls ...Always disenfranchised. No British vote, no European vote, no vote for the country where I live.

A ‘Damning Indictment’: Eight Million Voters May Be #Disenfranchised in #GeneralElection, MPs Find
#UK’s #EectoralRegistration arrangements are a ‘threat to the rights of #British voters’
The House of Commons’ #LevellingUpHousingAndCommunitiesCommittee has found that the current electoral registration system is inefficient and ineffective, and the new requirement of having to show #MandatoryVoterPhotID at the ballot box will make matters worse.

1. #CornelWest is #spoiler whose #JTBD is elect #Trump
2. A human of morality will vote for LESSER evil
3. No 3rdParty candidate has won or will win EVER
4. If you're an #American, take your own advice to heart and "care more" Vote #Biden
5. No one here is OK with #genocide. You just stated that as fact without evidence
6. You also accuse #US of "unwavering" #WarCrimes — NO evidence
7. Americans are #disenfranchised due to #GOP #voterSuppression
8. Don't #gaslight

Here's an idea: a whole shitload of us pool together to buy a ghost town, and transform it into a model #anarchist #socialist #community?
A place for #marginalised and #disenfranchised people of all race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, place of birth, etc. Create a working model of cooperation and sustainability, and (hopefully) prosperity & comfort.
There are many to choose from in #canada alone.

In #business, you win by being rough.
Somewhere along the way, we have forgotten that.
Now we uplift these broken #personalities, bordering on the #psychopathic.
We listen to them whine about great legislation, which was supposed to help market dynamics work in favour of fair treatment.
And they think they’re the smartest person in the room declaring it makes them less money to support measures like those.
What worries me, a lot of #disenfranchised people believe them, want to be just like them. -

House, Senate #Democrats rally behind expelled #Tennessee lawmakers: ‘We all lost today’
The Tennessee Republican-controlled House voted Thursday on whether to expel a trio of Democratic lawmakers after they participated in a protest against gun violence on the House floor. The lawmakers voted to expel both state Rep. #JustinJones and state Rep. #JustinPearson from the House, but Rep. #GloriaJohnson survived her vote.

You're welcome. I am too.
I'm a regular #voter since I was 18 (over 50 now) but I don't have an unexpired #Ohio ID. Why, I am disabled, with #Parkinsons. I have my old #Ohio driver's license ID but little need for an unexpired one.

2/ You may say this shouldn't affect people. Who doesn't have a photo ID
I don't. I'm a regular voter since I was 18 but I don't have an unexpired ID. Why, I am disabled, with #Parkinsons. I've my old driver's license ID but little need for an unexpired one
Now, I have to get one to remain a voter. It will be a tedious process for me. Should I bother. yes. How many will just give up. Also, now my already stretched disability dollars will have to go farther
