Courageous #HumanRights lawyer @SDonziger is finally free today, after 6 months of confinement — punishment for winning a $9 billion judgment against Chevron. gregpalast.com/steven-donzige… #FreeDonziger #StevenDonziger #BigOil #Pollution #Environment #Amazon 
I hope it’s final, because Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, the petroleum industry's black robed Putin, is on a crusade to muzzle the man who exposed Chevron's poisoning of the Amazon.
Let’s get some heat on New York’s corporate senators Gillibrand & Schumer to block the nomination of Chevron Consigliere Jennifer Rearden to the federal bench. And let's flood the White House with the demand that @SDonziger be given the Medal of Freedom.
BREAKING: #HumanRights lawyer @SDonziger was admitted to the federal prison in Danbury, CT, today.

I am in New York today, filming @SDonziger, whom the United Nations' human rights justices have identified as America's political prisoner and ordered his release.

#StevenDonziger's crime? Acting as the successful attorney in a suit against Chevron oil, who poisoned the Cofan people of Ecuador’s Amazon. #FreeDonziger gregpalast.com/facing-prison-…
Tomorrow, @SDonziger faces sentencing and could be given up to 6 months in a federal prison. I will be in the court room. Stand by for our report... #FreeDonziger
#StevenDonziger, a US attorney, classmate of Barack Obama at Harvard law, gave up everything — literally everything — to take on Chevron on behalf of the Cofan people of the Amazon in Ecuador. #FreeDonziger gregpalast.com/facing-prison-…
An Ecuadorian court ordered Chevron to pay $9.5 billion, finding that the oil giant's Texaco operation had illegally dumped 16 billion gallons of deadly oil waste. It’s been a decade, and Chevron still hasn’t paid a dime. #BigOil #Pollution #ClimateChange gregpalast.com/facing-prison-…
But @SDonziger has paid big time: For the last two years, he’s been under house arrest, longer than any American in history never convicted of a crime. #FreeDonziger gregpalast.com/facing-prison-…
Wow!

n 1944, Winston Churchill described Nazi atrocities as "a crime without a name"
Soon after, the term 'genocide' was coined
Is it time to recognise ‘ecocide’ as an int’l crime?
And time for all of us to start getting active to protect our fragile planet?

“Lost somewhere between immensity & eternity is our tiny planetary home
There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world
This pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
