"The text as it now stands is disappointing. It is insufficient and not adequate to address the problem we are here to tackle. The science is clear: we need to phase out fossil fuels. We have to continue the conversation." #COP28

Greetings on my 60th birthday. With your support, the epic triumph of Indigenous peoples over @Chevron is known by millions around the globe. Your support also has given me the strength and inner peace to endure years of house arrest and attacks by Chevron. How you can help:

I will be sentenced Oct. 1 by a judge who denied me a jury and read the newspaper during my trial.
While I'm on "trial" facing prison, Loretta Preska—my judge, jury and fact finder—has been casually reading the newspaper from the bench during witness testimony. It feels like it was over before it began.

Not every day you get to see a mural of yourself in Temple Bar 🤯 I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to write to me across the past week. It really means a lot ❤️ For now I’m going to chill out, support our Paralympian’s and practice my fencing in-front of this mural 😂

Ireland’s biggest fossil fuel company is @dccplc . They are a FTSE100 company. Last year they made £13.4 billion in revenue and £530.2 million in profit. 71% of the profit came from their fossil fuel businesses.

So incredibly grateful that Marianne Williamson is helping protest my 700th day of unjust house arrest after winning pollution case against @Chevron. Rally and vigil tonight at 6 p.m. in NYC with @SusanSarandon, @rogerwaters, Ron Kuby and others. 245 W 104 St. Solidarity. 💪❤️

New research finds a significant risk of domino effects in climate breakdown even at temps below 2C. Govts need to act much more quickly than they are doing. Put a declining cap on fossil fuels, and scale down production and consumption in rich nations. theguardian.com/environment/…

Day 671 of detention: incredibly honored to receive @RepMcGovern tonight in my home. Jim is the only member of Congress who has traveled to Ecuador to witness Chevron's atrocities firsthand. Jim said: "Chevron is a bully. It takes guts to stand up to a bully." #FreeDonziger

My lawyer Ron Kuby: "Make no mistake about it. We are not watching a 'trial' as that word is normally understood. We are watching a production, brought to you by @Chevron."

BREAKING FROM TRIAL: Under oath, Chevron witness Anne Champion (right) this morning admitted she has spent 100 hrs in 20 meetings helping private prosecutor Glavin (left) try to convict me. Champion bills Chevron $1,017/hr. How deep does it go? #FreeDonziger

Palestinians protesters in occupied East Jerusalem faced repeated, unwarranted and excessive force by the Police. Direct cause: threats of forced eviction in #SheikhJarrah. Forcible transfer of the occupied population is a war crime under the Rome Statute amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…

Actor and humanitarian @SusanSarandon today at the #FreeDonziger rally outside court to protest my Chevron-driven prosecution. "Chevron has paid millions which they could have used to address this horrible racist dumping into the Amazon. Instead they chose to persecute Steven."

The both-sides language of "clashes" and "conflict" obscures the fact that what's happening in East Jerusalem is illegal under international law and amounts to ethnic cleansing. Strong solidarity with the Palestinian families in their struggle against colonization.

🚨BREAKING FROM TRIAL🚨 Chevron-linked Judge Preska has again denied me a jury, denied Zoom access, and refused to disclose unethical and secret communications between the court and the private prosecutor. Is Preska more loyal to the law or to Chevron? More details coming.

The violence in Jerusalem – especially against children – is unbearable. This long conflict has cost many children their lives and their futures. Leaders must act immediately – there is no peace when children and civilians are not safe. #AlAqsa
Over the past two days, 37 Palestinian children have been injured and arrested in East Jerusalem. All children should be protected from violence and kept out of harm’s way at all times. @LelmiU @TedChaiban unicef.org/press-releases/37…
