  3. A federal judge in Michigan, appointed by Trump, has blocked the Trump-era Justice Department’s attempt to access the state’s voter rolls, ruling that Michigan was within its rights to refuse sharing personal voter information. Judge Hala Jarbou dismissed the DOJ’s claims that such data was necessary to prevent ineligible voting and voter fraud, aligning with similar rulings in Oregon and California that rejected efforts to create a national voter database. These decisions reflect increasing judicial resistance to the DOJ’s efforts to gather detailed voter data ahead of the upcoming midterms, signaling legal hurdles for the administration’s broader push to compile comprehensive voter information.

  4. How #corporate #SLAPP lawsuits endanger our rights and the #planet

    by Chris Greenberg
    25 April 2023

    "Hope creates the conditions for #ClimateAction. And climate action nurtures hope. Just as hope and action have a reinforcing relationship, so do fear and silence.

    "The #polluting #corporations who put #profits over people and the planet know this and they use their resources to intimidate, to instill fear, and ultimately to silence the people directly impacted by their short-sighted, extractive greed.

    "#SLAPPs, a type of abusive lawsuit, are a key tool used by corporate power to suppress #FreeSpeech and people power. These cynical lawsuits can force non-profit organizations like #Greenpeace International to divert precious resources away from campaigning for a more just and sustainable society. Perhaps even worse, SLAPPs can intimidate targets from challenging powerful corporations in the future.

    "Every SLAPP, regardless of the defendant, is an attack on everyone who believes in the power of free speech and the right to #PeacefulProtest. No one should be bullied for speaking up on behalf of people and the planet.

    "But CorporateBullies beware!

    "In a massive win for free speech, a US federal court recently dismissed a seven-year lawsuit brought by #ResoluteForestryProducts against a number of Greenpeace staff members and entities, including #GreenpeaceInternational and #GreenpeaceUSA. The #Canadian #logging company sued the Greenpeace defendants for CA $100 million in an attempt to silence and bankrupt them, after criticism of its #unsustainable #forestry practices.

    "Let’s take a closer look at SLAPPs so you can recognize them when you see them:

    "What does #SLAPP stand for? SLAPP stands for '#StrategicLawsuitAgainstPublicParticipation '. These lawsuits are used by #corporations attempting to diminish or even stop public participation in civil society. SLAPPs often lack any kind of merit, and don’t need to result in a legal victory to achieve the outcome desired by corporate bullies.

    "SLAPPs waste time and cause financial and sometimes #PsychologicalHarm to targeted individuals and organisations who have to hire #lawyers and engage in costly #LegalBattles, sometimes to the point of facing bankruptcy. These lawsuits attempt to silence free speech and limit peaceful #dissent by using litigation as a tool for deterring non-violent protest and even documenting and bearing witness."
