'Must cover the costs': Trump directs DOJ to 'enforce' a rule of civil procedure and seek security #bonds from '#activist' groups that win injunctions against the government

Colin Kalmbacher Mar 7th, 2025

"The memo, on its own terms, aims to curb the power of 'activist organizations fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars in donations' and 'activist judges' by pushing back against 'frivolous litigation.' "

#PenobscotNation citizens rally in opposition to proposed expansion of #JuniperRidgeLandfill

Jul. 18, 2025

OLD TOWN/ALTON, #Maine (WABI) - "Penobscot Nation citizens rallied across the Penobscot County court Friday afternoon in opposition to a proposed expansion to Maine’s largest #landfill.

"The rally was in response to the #ConservationLawFoundation and the Penobscot Nation appealing an expansion to #JuniperRidgeLandfill, which will allow #CasellaWasteSystems to expand Juniper Ridge by 11.9 million cubic yards.

"According to members of the #WabanakiAlliance, the expansion would pose a threat to surrounding #TribalLands due to concerns of air and #WaterPollution surrounding the #PenobscotRiver from the landfill.

"Speakers at the rally represented citizens of the Penobscot Nation, the Wabanaki Alliance, as well as the environmental groups #Slingshot and #DontWasteME.

" 'It is incredibly powerful to see the number of people out here in opposition to this expansion and support of this appeal. We know the time for #EnvironmentalJustice is now. We need to turn the tide towards #ZeroWaste,' said #DanaColihan, Co-Executive Director of environmental group Slingshot.

" 'I just hope that the state can get serious about actual environmental justice, and Casella can implement some practices that it make it so that they don’t have to bring out of state waste to stabilize our sludge, and really find solutions instead of creating more problems with us,' stated #MaulianBryant, Executive Director of the Wabanaki Alliance."

From 2017: As Catastrophic #Flooding Hits Houston, Fears Grow of #Pollution from #OilRefineries & #Superfund Sites

#DemocracyNow, August 28, 2017

"A catastrophic storm has hit Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city and home to the largest refining and #petrochemical complex in the United States. The crisis began on Friday when Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Rockport, Texas. It was the most powerful hurricane to strike the state in more than 50 years. Much of the damage has been caused by the massive rainfall, with parts of Texas already receiving 30 inches of rain. That could top 50 inches in the coming days. Entire highways in Houston are now underwater. The storm has caused five reported deaths, but the death toll is expected to rise. Thousands of people are still stranded in their homes, waiting to be rescued. Meanwhile, the city of Dallas prepares to turn its convention center into a mega-shelter to host 5,000 evacuees. The National Weather Service released a statement on Sunday saying, 'This event is unprecedented and all impacts are unknown and beyond anything experienced.' We speak with Bryan Parras, an organizer for the #BeyondDirtyFuels campaign with the #SierraClub in Houston, Texas. He helped found the #EnvironmentalJustice group t.e.j.a.s."

We are destroying our only home.

The #Earth — once wild, vibrant, and full of life — is now choking under the weight of our #pollution, our #greed, and our silence.

The #climatecrisis is not a distant threat. It’s here. In the rising seas, in burning forests, in vanishing species, in every breath of toxic air.

We cannot keep turning away. We are not separate from #nature — we are part of it. And when we destroy it, we destroy ourselves.

This is a call to action. Not tomorrow. Not “one day.” Now.

Reduce. Restore. Resist.
Speak up. Vote for the planet. Support #climatejustice. Protect what remains.

Because there is no planet B.
Because #sustainability is not a trend — it’s survival.

Thank you.

The road to #environmentaljustice is long, and requires brave neighbours to see it through.

Ok folks: I am looking for some pithy sign copy that combines my hatred for ICE with my passion for mitigating climate change. Something about ICE only being for polar regions or something — I dunno, this is why I’m a graphic designer and not a writer! Help a protester out!
