  9. Shout out to Sean Tubbs here and clarification that this is not the transportation study required by the recent zoning lawsuit. This was already planned before we knew about the lawsuit. This matches my own recollection but I appreciate city staff clarifying it. #litigation #StudyFight vpm.org/news/2025-10-22/charlo

    Trackers are placed ahead of due process. Regulations are always late, and insufficient.

    Trump’s Board of Peace plans to grant itself sweeping immunity, documents show

    "Draft resolution seeks to shield board members and security forces from potential prosecution for work in Gaza"

    "The UN-sanctioned Board of Peace announced by Donald Trump earlier this year to rule Gaza is planning a sweeping grant of legal immunity for itself, according to a draft of the resolution obtained by the Guardian. The draft language would also let the organization obtain public property in Gaza “free of charge”."

  24. Climate litigation - Trapped by floods and fearing death in the heat: the Australians taking legal action over the climate crisis

    "The complaint is exploratory. It argues the government is violating the claimants’ human rights by continuing to support coal and gas developments that fuel climate extremes."

    "... A “glaring inconsistency” in climate policy: that the country is taking steps to cut domestic emissions as it expands support for fossil fuel exports. The stories of these claimants show climate change is not an abstract future threat... Australia has a “huge amount of liability and exposure” given the scale of its fossil fuel exports." >>

    #Drumpf admin vowed on Wednesday to pay $765 million to a power project developer #Invenergy to abandon planned #windmill projects off the coastal states of New York, #California and #Maine and convert resources to developing natural gas power plants in five landlocked Midwest states.

    Seven U.S. states sued the admin this month over a similar $800 million payment to #TotalEnergies TTEF.PA to cancel an east coast offshore wind project. The state AG's suing the #ExecBranch allege payments are not proper #USA govt process and illegally misuse fund$ reserved for legal settlements when there was no actual #litigation.

  30. As expected, the data broker I filed a successful complaint against for not giving me any information when they took my data from an Austrian company register appealed the data protection authority's decision.

    Now, the administrative court will decide. This will make a proceeding that already took more than two years even longer.

    Yes, we have an enforcement issue when it comes to digital privacy protection!

    Bugger. Must have been taken down by Court Order. BHP wins this round. Looks like money (use of #Silks) beats free-press again, as the author foresaw. It may have been archived somewhere, but that’s beyond my paygrade. The article was very specific about the #Fraud and #WageTheft perpetrated by BHP and its associates. Ah, well, we’ll get to know all about it when the case is adjudicated in the highest Court of the land, because with billions of $$ at stake, you can bet BHP will appeal every judgement along the way. #FuckTheRich

Here we go… this is what big #Corporations and their associated #Workforce sub-contracting is all about. #Fleecing #Workers and walking away from #DutyOfCare using #LegalAttactDogs and flooding the courts with legal counters backed up with ample funding to drown out #Litigation (There are new laws — anti SLAPP? — in the UK to prevent this from happening, but not here) and out-spend legitimate lawsuits. Laws to protect the wealthy and control everyone else.

    “This has all the hallmarks of strategic litigation for commercial advantage. BHP, with its army of hundreds of PR staff, refused to respond to repeated approaches from Michael West Media. Yet they were lightning fast to sue. They’re weaponising our public courts — funded by taxpayers — to silence a simple enquiry into potential systemic wage theft. All while pocketing around $622 million a year in taxpayer-funded diesel fuel tax credits.”
