@drilledmedia.bsky.socialThe TigerSwan propagandist agreed to help the infiltrator bribe anti-pipeline activists for information.
As the infiltrator put it, "If they turn down the offer we still win, because they'll start wondering who did take the money to inform."
@drilledmedia.bsky.socialThe propagandist collaborated closely with one of TigerSwan’s infiltrators, who entered the camps undercover to make friends and spy. At one point they discussed hacking a pipeline opponent's email account.
@drilledmedia.bsky.socialThe contract propagandist working for TigerSwan even moved offline and attempted to organize a countermovement in Iowa.
@drilledmedia.bsky.socialTigerSwan also launched an anti-protest Facebook page in Iowa. One rural white resident told @alleenbrown.bsky.social he confronted the pipeline opponents with a confederate because of what he’d seen on Facebook. This seemed to pleaseTigerSwan personnel.
@drilledmedia.bsky.socialIn North Dakota, the content was aimed not just at exacerbating internal movement divisions, but also divisions between water protectors and the mostly white rural community surrounding the protest camps.
@drilledmedia.bsky.socialEmails and WhatsApp chats obtained by Drilled and @highcountrynews.org show that the private security contractor TigerSwan launched anti-protest Facebook pages. Seeding divisions was the plan.
@drilledmedia.bsky.socialICYMI reporting from @alleenbrown.bsky.social recently uncovered new details about pipeline giant Energy Transfer’s efforts to undermine the Indigenous-led Standing Rock Movement using divide-and-conquer tactics spread over Facebook. 1/
@jeffspakowski.bsky.socialReposted by @drilledmedia.bsky.social"In the deafening silence where climate protest chants used to be, many public voices on climate are calling not for a fight against fascism or solidarity with immigrants targeted by the ICE crackdown, not for a resurgence at all, but for retreat."
@fisherdanar.bsky.socialReposted by @drilledmedia.bsky.socialThis newsletter for @drilledmedia.bsky.social by @amywestervelt.bsky.social is a must read for anyone interested in climate activism. My personal take is that the movement is in abeyance for all these reasons and more--(stay tuned for that article soon 🤞): drilled.media/newsletter/t...
@drilledmedia.bsky.socialThe Drilled newsletter is back, along with a new and improved website! This week, @amywestervelt.bsky.social asks: Why does everyone talking about the climate movement retreating leave out the part about it being under attack?

@drilledmedia.bsky.socialBig Oil walked so Big Tech could run and now the two are joining up to take down democracy.

@drilledmedia.bsky.socialPalestinians tend to be left out of tallies of assassinated land defenders. On The Spill, @alleenbrown.bsky.social, @amywestervelt.bsky.social & @ninalakhani.bsky.social talk about Global Witness’s annual report on assassinations of land defenders — and who is left out of the data.
@drilledmedia.bsky.socialTrump’s pardon for the convicted drug trafficking Honduran ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández means increasing criminalization of environmental and land defenders. Listen to this week’s episode of the Spill to hear why.
@drilledmedia.bsky.socialHonduras' Garifuna people are facing forced displacement from their own land in violation of international court rulings. On this week's The Spill, @ninalakhani.bsky.social talks with Karen Spring from the Honduras Solidarity Network about where the reality TV show Survivor fits in.
