The U.S. Supreme Court UPHELD Chevron's prosecution and 3-YEAR DETENTION of lawyer Steven Donziger. The ONLY 2 judges who ruled to overturn were TRUMP-appointed. Let that sink in. Never again do I want to hear BNMW Democrats use Supreme Court appointments as a cudgel to beat ACTUAL Lefties over the head with every 4 years. If you don't know anything about Steven Donziger: a) you're watching/reading the wrong shit, and b) he represented indigenous Ecquadorians in a lawsuit, where he ultimately won a $9.5 billion settlement in favor of the plaintiffs, on the grounds of health and environmental damages sustained. If you haven't read the whole Donziger story, I suggest you do; it's truly wild. It was far more a PERSECUTION than a prosecution. Oh, by the way. In addition to wrecking Donziger's life AND career, Chevron's lawyers managed to legally-weasel their client out of the $9.5 billion settlement. They never paid a dime to the Equadorian farmers, whose land and bodies they poisoned.

@FLOMBARDIMUSIC @CarlaRK3 A horrible decision, and probably the end of the road for climate justice for these people. Shocking.
