1 week ago Greenpeace loss will embolden big oil and gas to pursue protesters: ‘No one will feel safe’

As Trump pushes ‘drill, baby, drill’ agenda, Greenpeace verdict offers startling outlook for environmental activismA pipeline company’s victory in court over Greenpeace, and the huge damages it now faces, will encourage other oil and gas companies to legally pursue environmental protesters at a time when Donald Trump’s energy agenda is in ascendancy, experts have warned.On Wednesday a North Dakota jury ruled that three Greenpeace entities collectively must pay Energy Transfer, which was co-founded by a prominent Trump donor, more than $660m, deciding that the organizations were liable for defamation and other claims after a five-week trial in Mandan, near where the Dakota Access pipeline protests occurred in 2016 and 2017.

2 w. ago Hollywood exodus: the celebrities leaving the US over Trump 2.0

Many famous names threatened to leave the first time, but as the president chips away at more liberties, plenty are plotting their escapeThe first time that Donald Trump ran for president, plenty of people talked about leaving the United States if he won. Some were at least halfway joking; some were engaging in hyperbolic tough talk – jokes soured and bluffs unexpectedly called by Trump’s chilling 2016 victory.
