From 2016:#StandingRock Camp Battles Cyber Blockers, Improves Service
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
Sat., Dec. 10, 2016UPDATES -- "Composting toilets save the day. Crews finished installing composting toilets, even some in heated tents, after the port-a-potties were yanked from Oceti Sakowin Camp. And work has been underway to fight back at the cyber blockers. Turns out they don't like being pinged to expose who they are, including cops who use stingrays to imitate cell towers to gain access to your cellphone. On Friday, five semi truckloads of supplies arrived, purchased from Amazon -- by good hearts around the world -- in response to the Last Real Indians wish list. Donors are also helping Last Real Indians purchase pickup trucks and vehicles for camp. The Dine' Camp at Oceti Sakowin is standing strong, with a new hogan. Across the river, Rosebud Camp and Sacred Stone Camp are resilient.
Standing Strong for Standing Rock."

From March 2026...
Could #Maine make polluters pay for the cost of #climateChange ? Lawmakers want to study it first.
The Legislature on Tuesday passed a measure to study how much greenhouse gas emissions are costing the state, with Republicans opposed.
by Rachel Ohm, March 31, 2026
"Maine lawmakers Tuesday took a possible step toward establishing a program to recoup money from large, corporate polluters to pay for the impacts of climate change.
"The House of Representatives passed a bill that would study how much greenhouse gas emissions have cost the state in a 75-72 vote that fell largely along party lines. Two Democrats, Tiffany Roberts of South Berwick and Holly Sargent of York, joined with Republicans in opposition.
"The Senate passed the bill 19-13 earlier in the week with Democrats in support and Republicans opposed.
"The bill, LD 1870, sponsored by Sen. Stacy Brenner, D-Scarborough, started out as a proposal for a so-called #ClimateSuperfund that would collect fees from groups that extract #FossilFuels and refine crude oil and whose activities are found to contribute to certain levels of greenhouse gas emissions. The money would be used to fund climate change adaptation projects.
The version that was voted on this week, however, was revised to a proposal for a study of the cost to the state of greenhouse gas emissions from 1995 to 2024. The information is set to be submitted to lawmakers in a report due by Jan. 1, 2028."Archived version:

There was some coverage of the #PortlandME No Immunity for #BigOil rally today. Hubby is sending me a gift article link later tonight, but here's a photo from today's march... You can see my sign in the far left corner.

The #PortlandME No Immunity for #BigOil rally was small, but powerful! We chanted and marched from #UselessSusanCollins office to #AngusKing 's office to #ChelliePingree 's office. Only Chellie committed to making Big Oil pay. I did NOT volunteer to go into Susan Collins' office, as I'm still on her shit-list. Met some good folks from #ThirdAct and #NRCM . It seems I was the only #MaineDSA member there, but that's okay -- a rally should have at least one card-carrying #Socialist! My hand-painted signs were a big hit. Someone asked if I hand painted #NoJobsOnADeadPlanet one. "Yup! No AI involved!" to which everyone laughed. I'm glad I went. I've been burnt out from protesting, so it was good to get my activist batteries recharged hanging out with good people!

I found about this rally from the #MaineDSA mailing list! #DSA and #EnvironmentalGroups working together!!!
#PortlandME and #LewistonME - August 27, 2026
No Immunity for #BigOil Rallies!
"While making record profits, Big Oil and their allies in Congress are trying to get off the hook from paying for damages caused by their pollution by passing sweeping immunity legislation to protect their #corporate interests. Let's be clear: if you make a mess, you clean it up. #Maine taxpayers have been stuck paying for climate damages with no support from the corporations that caused the problem, and that isn't right.
"Join NRCM and our coalition partners on Thursday, August 27th in Portland and/or Lewiston to tell Maine's Congressional delegation to oppose Immunity for Big Oil and Make Polluters Pay for the damages they've caused in Maine.
Portland
When: 12 PM
Where: Lobsterman Park, 1 Temple Street
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to the offices of Sen. Collins, Sen. King, and Rep. Pingree. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy!
Lewiston
When: 4 PM
Where: Dufresne Plaza, 72 Lisbon Street, Lewiston
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to Sen. Collins and Rep. Golden. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy!

Exposed: The Oil and Gas Giants Profiting Most From #Israel's #GazaGenocide
"The complicity of international #corporations and governments in fueling Israel's #WarMachine represents the latest chapter in a long history of #FossilFuel companies enabling #genocide and mass atrocities," said one campaigner.
by Brett Wilkins
Nov 14, 2024"On the fourth day of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, or #COP29, in Azerbaijan, green groups highlighted how fossil fuel companies 'enable and profit from Israel's genocide in Gaza,' continuing 'a long history of the industry's complicity in mass atrocities worldwide.'
"'The fossil fuel industry is culpable in death and destruction around the world, not only through the #ClimateCrisis they cause but through the violence they fuel,' #OilChangeInternational said in a statement Thursday.
"'Every shipment of oil to Israel carries the weight of #Palestinian lives.'
"The group—along with others including #FriendsOfTheEarthPalestine / #PENGON and #TippingPointUK — is seizing the opportunity presented by COP29 to draw attention to an aspect of the Gaza war often overlooked amid the staggering death and destruction wrought by Israel's 13-month onslaught, which a United Nations panel on Thursday said is consistent with the 'characteristics of genocide.'
"'Investor-owned and private #OilCompanies supply 66% of oil to Israel—more than a third of that from major oil companies like #Chevron, #Shell, and #BP — despite genocide warnings from the International Court of Justice [#ICC],' #OilChange said. 'BP is among the top corporate suppliers of oil to Israel. It operates and is the largest owner of the #BTC pipeline, which transports #AzeriOil that is ultimately sent to Israel.'
"The #BTCPipeline runs from #Baku — the #Azeri capital and COP29 host city on the Caspian Sea —t hrough #Azerbaijan, #Georgia, and #Turkey and, according to Oil Change, supplies Israel with 28% of its oil, belying Thursday's claim by Turkish President #RecepTayyipErdoğan that the country has severed all ties with Israel.
"An investigation published in September by #EnergyEmbargoForPalestine showed how oil transported via the BTC pipeline is refined into jet fuel for Israel Defense Forces [#IDF] warplanes.
Oil Change continued:
"BP has also been granted #GasExploration licenses in occupied Palestinian waters. By providing it with fuel, BP enables the Israeli government to commit genocide in Gaza. Chevron operates and partially owns the two largest Israeli-claimed fossil #GasFields, #Tamar and #Leviathan, making it the main international actor extracting fossil gas claimed by Israel in the Mediterranean. In 2022, 70% of Israel's power was generated from fossil gas extracted by #Chevron. Through the millions of dollars it pays Israel for its gas extraction licenses, Chevron is also directly contributing to financing Israel's regime of #genocide, #apartheid, #SettlerColonialism, and #Occupation.
"'The complicity of international corporations and governments in fueling Israel's war machine represents the latest chapter in a long history of fossil fuel companies enabling genocide and mass atrocities,' #MohammedUsrof, a member of the #PalestinianYouth Climate Negotiation Team at COP29 who lost 21 relatives to Israel's onslaught, said in a statement Thursday. 'Every shipment of oil to Israel carries the weight of Palestinian lives.'
"Tipping Point U.K. organizer #SadieDeCost said that 'BP originated as a key enabler of the #BritishEmpire, and continues as one of the top 10 largest #CarbonEmitters in the world.'
"'It operates and is the largest owner of the BTC pipeline, which ships Azeri oil to fuel Israel's genocide in Gaza,' DeCost added. 'BP's historic colonial harms continue through its support of violent regimes. Its emissions are estimated to cause hundreds of billions of dollars of loss and damage. We must shut down BP to end this injustice, and demand climate reparations for impacted communities around the world.'"
