Canadian mining companies are some of the most ruthless, oppressive and damaging organizations in the world. It's not surprising that they're entirely willing to work with the fascists.

Be a shame if it got completely clogged up with spam so no oil companies could get their pollution exemptions. Or if everyone wasted their time with trivial questions.

Protests don't hinder such organization though, and they can connect and embolden people. They're valuable as long as they're not all that gets done.

Signal is pretty good. It takes a special kind of stupid to use Signal and still end up accidentally leaking everything.

The USA has become one of those countries where critics of the government are disappeared. And it only took a couple of months to get there. So much for the American commitment to free speech.

Don't go to the USA.

Trump’s FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate Groups (newrepublic.com)

The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration.

Citibank revealed in a court filing Wednesday that it was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the groups are involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.”

“The FBI has told Citibank that recipients of EPA climate grants are being considered as potentially liable for fraud. That is, the Trump administration wants to criminalize work on climate science and impacts,” the @capitolhunters account wrote Wednesday on X. “An incoming administration not only cancels federal grants but declares recipients as criminals. All these grantees applied under government calls FOR ENVIRONMENTAL WORK, were reviewed and accepted. Trump wants to jail them.“

The Appalachian Community Capital Corporation, the Coalition for Green Capital, and the DC Green Bank are just some of the nonprofits being targeted.

“This is not fraud. This is targeted harassment,” @capitolhunters continued. “The idea of criminalizing community climate work wouldn’t have originated at the FBI—it likely comes from EPA director Lee Zeldin, who today cut all EPA’s environmental justice offices, which try to reduce pollution in poor and minority communities.”

Zeldin’s order eliminates 10 EPA regional offices as well as the headquarters in Washington, D.C.
