DoomsdaysCWJudge Tosses Out One Claim Against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThackerPassProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThackerPassProtectors</a>, Five Claims RemainRejects 'Unjust Enrichment' Claim, But Five Other Claims Proceed in Ongoing Lawsuit Over Spring 2023 ProtestsBy Protect Thacker Pass, Censored News, March 11, 2024WINNEMUCCA, Nevada — "A judge has dismissed an “unjust enrichment” charge filed against seven people sued for protesting the Thacker Pass lithium mine in Nevada, but allowed five other charges to move forward. District Judge Michael R. Montero rejected <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumNevada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LithiumNevada</a> Corporation’s claims that protesters had engaged in unjust enrichment by writing online messages encouraging supporters to donate, ruling that these messages are '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectedSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProtectedSpeech</a> under the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FirstAmendment</a>.' "'This is a very significant win for my clients and a rebuke to Lithium Nevada,' says Terry Lodge, an attorney representing six of the protesters. 'But,' Lodge says, 'we’ve still got a long way to go in this case.'[...]"While one portion of Montero’s ruling was favorable to the protesters, other portions were not. Judge Montero issued a prelimary ruling in Lithium Nevada’s favor on five other claims. But, Lodge says that at this stage, the judge was not determining whether Lithium Nevada’s claims are true or not. He was simply reviewing Lithium Nevada’s allegations, taking them as true, and determining whether those allegations were violations of Nevada law.[...] Native Land Claims “Frivolous”"In another part of his ruling, Judge Montero called arguments that a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Paiute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Paiute</a> protester has a right to access the September 12, 1865 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThackerPass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThackerPass</a> massacre site within Lithium Nevada’s mine site to pray for massacred Paiute <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ancestors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ancestors</a> 'frivolous'. "The ruling states that recognizing traditional native land claims 'would unequivocally undermine each and every property owner’s rights' and concludes that '[t]his is a Pandora’s box the Court is unwilling to open.” The defendants are seeking monetary donations to their legal defense fund."FMI and full article: <a href="https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/03/judge-tosses-out-one-claim-against.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/03/judge-tosses-out-one-claim-against.html</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LandBack</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeActivists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NativeActivists</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThackerPass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThackerPass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PeeheeMuhuh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PeeheeMuhuh</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pauite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pauite</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Shoshone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Shoshone</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bannock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bannock</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LithiumMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveThackerPass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaveThackerPass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SLAPPs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LithiumAmerica</a>

Queer SatanicWe beat The Satanic Temple’s incompetent defamation claim in federal court because “criticizing someone’s religious/political beliefs” is protected speech. That doesn’t change when it’s a church beseeching the state to punish speech that allegedly interferes with the church’s donation stream.<a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/17042463/20/united-federation-of-churches-llc-v-johnson/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/17042463/20/united-federation-of-churches-llc-v-johnson/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FirstAmendment</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/1A" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1A</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/1stAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1stAmendment</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectedSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProtectedSpeech</a>
