The #SettlerColonialSCOTUSIsAntiLaborAndCorrupt’s “justification comes down, in the end, to this: Courts must have more say over regulation—over the provision of health care, the protection of the environment, the safety of consumer products, the efficacy of transportation systems, and so on. A longstanding precedent at the crux of administrative governance thus falls victim to a bald assertion of judicial authority”- Justice Kagan.
But here’s what’s not in the report: The injuries to Native people were not just an unforeseen byproduct of federal dam building. They were, in fact, taken into account at the time. And federal leaders considered that damage a good thing.

The report also assessed countries on their willingness to cooperate globally through U.N. institutions. The United States was ranked in last place.
"A large majority of countries are supportive of collaborating… but there are a number of great powers that do not play by the rules of the game," said Lafortune.

#DisplacedAndStarvingPeopleAroundTheRedSeaProtectCarbonBombShippingLanes: The Ministry of Fisheries in Sana’a, which recorded dozens of violations against fishermen, including kidnapping and arrests carried out by the U.S. Navy, said in a previous statement that the U.S. Navy’s activity near the Yemeni coast and territorial waters threatens Yemeni fishermen, puts their lives in danger and causes them to lose their only source of income.
#MonopoliesCorruptPoliticiansToPreventDistributedPower: Electric utilities have taken responsibility for wildfires around the U.S., including fallen power lines that started a blaze in Maui last year. Transmission lines also sparked a massive California wildfire in 2019. “These fires are becoming a regular occurrence. Lives are being lost. Livelihoods are being lost. It’s a sad story that repeats itself again and again, because public utility companies and oil companies responsible for these power lines aren’t keeping them maintained.”

we know deep in the heart of Amazon, Bolsonaro is so strong. And we see it every day. And I'm sure Angélica sees even more because she lives there. She lives in Acre, that it's another state in Amazon.
And so that's a huge problem, I tell you, Andy. And also we have in the Congress, in the National Congress, the congressmen, the majority, they are Bolsonaro supporters. They are the guys you said, #BibleBeefAndBullet.”

César Ipenza, a Peruvian environmental lawyer and outspoken critic of the recent legislative action, told Mongabay this will “benefit actors who have previously failed to comply with the requirements demanded in the forestry law, weakening the protection of forests and environmental management, ignoring the #RightsOfIndigenousPeoples and encouraging new #deforestation.”

However, according to the Association for Mineral Exploration, only one in 10,000 claims becomes an operational mine, which means average investors, Canadian taxpayers, Indigenous peoples, rural residents, and U.S. communities and economies downstream are left shouldering the financial and environmental risks and costs of the Prospect Generator Model and B.C. gold mine exploration.

#TragedyOfEnclosure #CattleWreckedLandscape: The Atlantic Forest, located along Brazil’s southern coast, has been in dire straits for decades, with expanding cities and #agriculture leaving only a small fraction of the #forest standing today. But the situation might be even worse than previously thought.
Several thousand tree species in the forest are threatened with extinction, a new study has found. Over 80% of endemic tree species are at risk of going extinct — and that’s a conservative estimate, the researchers said.

#CattleWreckedLandscapes: All throughout America, people wake up each morning and spread cow across their faces.
Yet supplies of collagen derived from American agriculture, noted Manning, haven’t kept up with domestic consumption. He estimated that only about 30-40 percent of bovine collagen produced in the U.S. can be sourced from cattle raised in the country. The rest comes from South American or European animals, including nearly all collagen advertised as “grass-fed” or “pasture-raised.”

#DeterioratingCarbonSinks: Environmentalists sweated the Bolsanaro government and the burning of the Amazon forests, but never questioned the Justice Department for conjoining the two: For over half a century, intervening against democratically elected governments has been only half the story,” we wrote; “the second half involves justifying, minimizing or denying US involvement.”

#TrophicCascade: Long-distance migratory corridors are critical for the survival of herds. Yet Wyoming and other western states have stalled in establishing strong legal protections for these corridors on their public lands, where they are developing high-value energy and mineral projects and providing grazing ranges for ranchers.
