The B.C. Supreme Court has ruled that a traditional Wet’suwet’en trespass law cannot “coexist” with the injunction order issued to Coastal GasLink in response to pipeline protests from the nation’s hereditary leadership. As a result, Chief Dsta’hyl, a Wing Chief of the Likhts’amisyu Clan of the Wet’suwet’en Nation who also goes by Adam Gagnon, was found guilty of criminal contempt in a Smithers courtroom on Tuesday morning. To be found guilty of contempt of court, the prosecution needs to establish that a person is aware of a court order and violated it intentionally. To meet the threshold for criminal contempt, the violations must be public in nature. In making the decision, Justice Michael Tammen rejected a defence argument that could have set precedent in cases involving conflicts between Canadian court orders and Indigenous legal orders. [...] The defence argued that “subjugating Indigenous law to colonial law, when they both form part of the law of the land in Canada, brings the administration of justice into scorn, precisely the consequence that criminal contempt proceedings are meant to punish.”

.....PNW allies wake up

This will be not even 30 minutes away from where I live.

I hope to see you at the front lines.

"The energy giant’s plan to accomplish this hinges on increasing the GTN pipeline’s flow with an additional 150 million cubic feet of gas per day. Increased flow is correlated with more frequent and dangerous leaks, though TC Energy’s proposal includes neither repairs nor updates to GTN’s 61-year-old pipes.

Instead, the expansion will install new turbines and software updates at three compression stations along the pipeline route. Each of these compressor stations is located in or near residential areas, with the Athol station in particular situated in the middle of a residential neighborhood just a few miles from the popular Silverwood Theme Park and its 800,000 seasonal visitors. Research on compressor stations’ public health impact paints a grim picture, demonstrating higher rates of mortality and negative health outcomes for those living nearby. These harms scale proportionally with increased emissions, a natural result of TC Energy’s proposed expansion."

Let's Stand Again With Standing Rock

It's time to take action and stop the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL)! It's been over six years since DAPL began carrying oil and nearly a year and a half since the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the pipeline operator Energy Transfer's attempt to avoid producing a required Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Today, in violation of a separate court order, DAPL continues to operate illegally, without a federal easement. Finally, after interminable delay, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has finally released an extremely problematic draft EIS for public input.

That's where you come in. You now have just a few weeks to submit your public comment demanding the Corps shut this pipeline down and require a new, valid EIS. Please stand with Standing Rock in this critical moment and write to the Army Corps right now.

Now that the EIS has been released, we can confirm what we already suspected. Prepared by a member of the American Petroleum Institute -- clear conflict of interest -- the EIS addresses none of Standing Rock's many grave concerns about DAPL. Those include DAPL's imminent threat to the Missouri River, big problems with Energy Transfer's emergency response plans, Energy Transfer's horrendous safety track record, continued lack of transparency with Standing Rock throughout the environmental review process, inaccurate characterizations of tribal consultation, and sensitive habitat and sacred burial sites along the riverbank.

Earlier this year, four U.S. senators including Bernie Sanders submitted a letter to the Corps seeking an explanation. The reply from Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Michael Connor did not adequately or honestly address the tribe's complaints. Standing Rock replied, pointing out the flaws in approach and demanding redress.

For now, it's up to us to lend a hand. We must flood the Army Corps with a single, unified message: This illegal pipeline's operations must be terminated and the Army Corps must start over with a legitimate environmental review. In the midst of a climate emergency, let's defend sacred ground and safeguard Unci Maka (our Grandmother Earth). This may be our last, best chance to end DAPL once and for all. Please take action now.

Metagenomics and Metatranscriptomics: New Insights and Pipelines to Better Navigate Data Analysis

Scientists at the Institute of Parasitology and Biomedicine and the University of Granada, Spain, along with collaborators, developed two pipelines that could automate and optimize metagenomics and metatranscriptomics data analysis. These pipelines could be adapted for 16S, shotgun, and RNA-Seq data. Its performance was validated through three studies by assessing its taxonomy classification ability.

When Anton van Leeuwenhoek first opened the doors to the unseen world of microorganisms in 1673 through his self-made single-lens microscope, it couldn’t have been possible to imagine the explosion of discoveries that were to follow in its wake. The paradoxical world of microbes is a source of infinite curiosity to many scientists around the world. Thus, it was a no-brainer that with the advent of NGS, the microbes would get their very own niche within it—Metagenomics.

Trans Mountain says it is in the process of wrapping up work to install its pipeline through a sacred Secwépemc site, bringing its expansion project one step closer to completion. The pipe installation, which involved digging a 1.3-kilometre trench through an area with a known burial site, was allowed to proceed after years of back and forth between the company, the Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwépemc Nation and federal regulators. The Canadian government bought the pipeline nearly six years ago and vowed to move ahead with its expansion, saying it was in the public interest. It is managed through a Crown corporation. “It’s devastating to many people that this happened,” said Mike McKenzie, a Secwépemc knowledge keeper. “Canada had a serious obligation to the Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwépemc and all Canadians to uphold Secwépemc law in a good way, to embody reconciliation in their work.”

lyrics :

I'm tired of all these John Smith looking motherf*ckers, with their "that's in the past"

and their "Cherokee grandmothers."

And I can't go another goddamn day

where all of them just look at me like I'm the one who's crazy

(chorus)

But I know, I know "just sit down and shut up"

Be the complacent trained "model minority."

The one america knows that you can be.

But there's a fire in my heart

And it burns down to my feet.

I will get up, get up and walk

until we're free.

And I've often dreamed of a life

Where I take your hand and we both go outside

And with my entire being I breathe in the fresh autumn air,

Only one thought comes to mind,

"We've finally gotten there."

[chorus]

Until my feet bleed.

I will get up, get up and walk until we're free

Sabotaging Oil and Gas Infrastructure Is an Act of Climate Heroism

"In the summer of 2016, Jessica Reznicek, then a 35-year-old spiritual activist following the tradition of the Catholic Worker and the Plowshares movements, and Ruby Montoya, a 27-year-old former preschool teacher and Catholic Worker, carried out multiple acts of sabotage against pipelines and machinery used in the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock.

"During the night Donald Trump was elected president, the two women trespassed onto the construction site of Energy Transfer, the conglomerate of companies behind the pipeline, and burned down five pieces of heavy machinery. Thereafter they learned how to use welding torches to destroy valves on steel pipes, and during the year 2017 managed to sabotage pipelines up and down the state of Iowa. They also successfully continued their arson attacks against the heavy machinery used in the construction of the pipeline ...

"The kinds of actions carried out by Reznicek, Montoya and others have the potential to capture greater attention, galvanize a broader mobilization, and thus play a critical role in resisting the destruction of the planetary biosphere."

SIGN OR CALL TO BE HEARD! STOP THE WILLOW PROJECT NOW!

"The Willow Project is a proposed pipeline in Northern Alaska that has been proposed by ConocoPhillips, a company that has been surrounded by controversy for continued oil drilling, exploitation of nature, and posing risks to indigenous communities globally. This project was proposed during the Trump administration, but has yet to be approved by the Biden administration. Despite Biden promising to turn away from non-renewable energy sources such as oil, he is still defending this project.

If this pipeline were to be approved, 100,000 barrels of oil would be produced for the next 30 years. The first oil to be used from this pipeline would be as early as 2024. We do not have much time, but it's still enough to defend our earth and the Iñupiat that live there."

Please sign the petition to say NO to the Willow Project!!

https://www.change.org/.../joseph-r-biden-biden...

and/or call the White House and use your voice to be heard!!!

The number to the comment line (stay on until you speak with a representative) is 202-456-1111

(If you struggle like me and don't know what to say, here is a copy of what you can say to get your point across.)

"I want to say and express that the Willow Project would cause devastating damage to our environment. And I feel very strongly because it would really affect the indigenous and America's Arctic. It would push us to the point of no return and ensure an unlivable planet for future generations. The Willow Project, it directly contradicts what President Biden promised and committed to, to begin resolving the climate catastrophe. I feel that the entire human race deserves a smarter, sustainable energy plan. So, I very strongly urge the President to listen to the deep concerns about the Willow Project that have been voiced by local indigenous leaders, scientists, and even his own administration. And so please tell President Biden and the Department of the Interior to say no to project Willow immediately."

CALL AND SIGN IMMEDIATELY! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT INDIGENOUS AND AMERICA'S ARTICS. IT WILL ALSO CAUSE UNLIVABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS. PLEASE URGE YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILIES, AND FOLLOWERS TO DO THE SAME!!!

Gt July Day 17 – Home

Seems like I’m pulling out all sorts of WIPs this month! This drabble is part of a much larger story I’m working on, titled Pipelines. Hopefully it makes sense without much context- this isn’t a drabble, but rather just part of the story, so I was trying to toe the line between recapping things in a natural way and leaving off things that would be obvious otherwise. Tl;dr on the context: Jamila got shrunk on accident by a magical underground smol and now is standing in said smol’s apartment.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Quite suddenly, Jamila realized that she was alone, for the first time since the unusual events in the church. She took in a deep, shuddering breath and tried to center herself; a difficult task, given that her surroundings were so foreign to her. Granted, there were some similarities to her normal life: she could hear the low murmurs and scrapes of people living in the apartments around this one, and outside in the street somebody called out to somebody else. Inside this apartment, it smelled like soap and paper, and a little bit like burnt toast from breakfast. She could relate well enough.

But that was where the similarities ended. She was standing in her socks in a stranger’s home; more importantly, she was only six inches tall and probably six feet underground. Jamila stifled a shudder and did her best not to think about that bit. There was a whole miniature city down here, somehow, but the idea of being even a little bit under the earth at this size was more nerve-wracking than she wanted to admit.

As was the pressing surrealism of the apartment around her. She took one more glance around the living room, at the oversized materials that should be absolutely tiny to her, and willed herself to get used to them. She wasn’t getting back to a normal, human size today, apparently, so being uneasy wouldn’t do her any good.

Easier said than done.

She walked over towards an open archway, assuming it led to the kitchen and intending to get herself a well-deserved cup of water. The sight of the kitchen, however, drew her up short. It didn’t look like a miniature version of a regular kitchen, but it didn’t lack in facilities either; instead, it looked to her like some kind of DIY plumbing experiment. An enormous (well, not enormous, but larger than expected) pipe protruded from the wall over a plastic basin that she guessed must be the kitchen sink. As with almost everything in the house, it looked like it had been repurposed from something else, the curve of it uneven and torn, as if it had been cut from something originally much larger. It probably had.

The “sink” was built into some cabinets, no two doors or materials the same, with a countertop stretching across. On the counter were a couple of peanuts (they looked as big as footballs!), an assortment of wooden and metal utensils that all looked handmade, and some kitchen rags that had frayed edges suggesting they were similarly cut from a larger cloth. The shelves were likewise cobbled together, and Jamila opened one experimentally just to see how the large, bulky hinges worked. She saw a stack of flat, golden-yellow foodstuffs, and only after staring for a long moment realized they were pieces of a potato chip that had been broken apart and organized. They each were as big and thick as tortillas. Disconcerted once more, she closed the cabinet.

The table offered no solace, especially once she noticed that it was built on an empty spool of thread. The chairs looked like they were made of toothpicks – actual toothpicks – and the hearth beside them had some coals that had long since cooled off. She supposed a flame was a bit hard to maintain at this size; and these miniature underground people – inlumini, as Zain had called her own kind – probably didn’t care much for bright lights. Zain hadn’t even wanted to walk into a ray of sunshine earlier. Then again, Zain could see in the dark, so Jamila supposed it was a bit of a wash.

Much as her idea of getting water was turning out to be. Frowning, Jamila realized she would have to figure out the tap, and also find a cup. She began opening cabinets, trying to ignore the bizarre versions of food within in lieu of finding anything she could drink water out of. In the third cabinet she found an assortment of cups, thankfully. No two matched, and they all had thicker walls than she was expecting, but they were undeniably being used as cups.

She pulled one out and turned it over in her hands, trying to figure out what it had been before a tiny lady added it to her kitchen. After a moment she got it- it looked like the cap that might come on a bottle of tacky glue, or something similar.

And she was about to use it as a cup. Her life really had taken an abrupt turn for the bizarre.

Setting the plastic cup on the counter, Jamila squared off against the pipe sticking out over the kitchen sink. She could figure this out. She practically had to, or Zain was sure to make some comment, and frankly Jamila could do without.

There was really only one lever, and it was a lever, not a tap or a knob. Jamila hesitantly pulled on it, flinching as water all but burst out of the large pipe, splashing into the plastic basin, gurgling down the drain, and getting the front of Jamila’s nice peach blouse a little too wet. The size of the droplets alone was a shock. Jamila hastily pushed the lever back, until the rush became a much more manageable trickle, and filled her cup before shutting the water off again.

She hurried back to the couch in the living room and sat down, taking a shaky sip from her water. Maybe she should just stay here until Zain got back from the medic; although, hopefully that would be after her shirt dried off.
