hey, The Intercept, this IS a paywall. i am paying you with my information. in this case, it is access to my email address. if it didn't have a paywall i would be able to read the article without entering anything. but i'm sure adding that lie made you feel better in the board room.

#DOGE Keeps Trying to Dodge #FOIA. So We’re Suing.
#TheIntercept filed a #lawsuit to force Trump administration to comply with federal transparency law when it comes to so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court under Freedom of Information Act, concerns multiple FOIA requests for DOGE records. At first DOGE simply ignored these requests while #ElonMusk’s crew ransacked federal agencies and accessed sensitive data systems.

"“Anything that shows solidarity of #Palestine is being mischaracterized quite erroneously as #antisemitism. That’s the way in which they are trying to get us to stop speaking about Palestine,” he says."

The Circus is Coming to Town -- The Bizarre Lawsuit of #EnergyTransfer v #Greenpeace and #RedWarriorSociety

by #CensoredNews, January 1, 2025

"It's the most bizarre lawsuit -- Energy Transfer v Greenpeace and Red Warrior Society, eight years later.

"There are loads of documents hidden away with 'confidential' stamps in the court records, and a whole lot of players -- governors, Congressmen, and law enforcement, in the shadows.

"The fragments, , between the blackouts of 'redacted,' show that the head of Energy Transfer hasn't been answering all the questions in depositions. Other snippets show that the #OilPipeline doesn't want to reveal its spills, and whether there's been contamination already into the water at #StandingRock.

"Meanwhile, there's a 'newspaper' tainting the potential jurors, attorneys say, which promotes the sheriff.

"And where are all the files on #TigerSwan, the paid #FBI informants, and the military #SpecialOps? Tens of thousands of documents of TigerSwan were gained by #TheIntercept in another court battle.

"Where are the files on the #drone being shot down by law enforcement, the U.S. #BorderPatrol's surveillance plane, and the #BIA's #surveillance van parked at the casino, with undercover officers wandering around inside?

"The judge, appointed by the governor, won't recuse himself.

"#UnicornRiot media is in Minneapolis Supreme Court fighting the pipeline's subpoena to seize its confidential media records.

"#WaterProtectors and media have been served with third party subpoenas by the pipeline for this fishing expedition for their info.

"And it's all coming to #MandanNorthDakota, at the end of February, to North Dakota's District Court,
home to #MortonCountySheriff.

"It's a $300 million #SLAPP lawsuit to shut them down, says Greenpeace. Greenpeace said there was a large dump of records into the case.

"Stay tuned, and dig through the files -- good luck."
