The 50th anniversary of AIMs (American Indian Movement's) occupation at Wounded Knee is coming up, so the Lakota People's Law Project is leading another push to free an AIM activist who was wrongly convicted of killing two federal agents in 1975- Leonard Peltier. He was convicted on false evidence and false testimony and sentenced to two life sentences. He is now 78.

A judge has ruled a court challenge can proceed over the Saskatchewan government's law requiring parental consent for children under 16 who want to change their names or pronouns at school. Justice Michael Megaw says the applicant, UR Pride, a 2SLGBTQ+ group in Regina, should still be allowed to make its case surrounding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms even if the Charter's notwithstanding clause has been invoked. "UR Pride has recognized the claim here is in somewhat uncharted territory," Megaw wrote. "However, that UR Pride has a steep hill to climb in this regard does not mean it should not be given the opportunity to engage in the climb in an effort to illustrate that the incline can be conquered."

“Kenya's government has been ordered by a human rights tribunal to make reparations to the Ogiek, an indigenous, forest-dwelling people who they tried to evict from their lands, marking a huge win for indigenous rights, on a continent where wins are few and normally far between...

These traditional people have been forced in self-defense to enter into a 13-year legal conflict with the Kenyan government, who have engaged in several varied attempts to oust the community entirely from their ancestral lands through eviction notices, physical attacks, forced evictions, and home demolishing.

In court documents uploaded to the internet, the bench unanimously dismissed all the arguments offered by the Kenyan government claiming it was implementing [a previous] 2017 judgment. Then it slapped a reparations fee of just under $500,000 for material damages, and just under $850,000 for moral damages.

In addition, the ruling underlines that the Kenyan government must take all necessary measures, in consultation with the Ogiek community and its representatives, to identify, delimit and grant collective land title to the community and, by law, assure them of unhindered use and enjoyment of their land.

The bench furthermore ordered the Kenyan government to recognize, respect, protect and consult the Ogiek in accordance with their traditions and customs, on all matters concerning development, conservation or investment on their lands.” -via World at Large, 7/4/22

ted kennedy VW advert

A mock advertisement in National Lampoon magazine showed a floating Volkswagen Beetle, itself a parody of a Volkswagen advertisement, showing that the vehicle's underside was so well sealed that it would float on water, but with the caption, "If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd be President today." The satire resulted in legal action by Volkswagen, claiming unauthorized use of its trademark; the matter was later settled out of court.

Today, activists blocked the road outside of Colnbrook Removal Center, to stop refugees from being transported to the plane that will carry them to Rwanda.

The delays have allowed more refugees to access legal help and get individual injunctions against being put on the flight- however, there may still be people without legal help who will be deported.

This morning, there were only about 7 people still due to be on the flight according to Care4Calais who have been helping refugees with legal support.

Although, legally, the flight is allowed to take off, let’s hope that if it ever does, nobody is on it.

Things you must follow after motorcycle accident in Dallas

Riding a motorcycle can be an exciting and exhilarating experience, but it also comes with risks. In the event of a motorcycle accident, it is important to know what steps to take to protect your legal rights and ensure your physical and financial recovery. This article will provide an overview of the things you must follow after a motorcycle accident in Dallas, and why it is important to hire a motorcycle accident attorney Dallas to represent you.

Step 1: Seek Medical Attention

The first and most important step after a motorcycle accident is to seek medical attention. Even if you do not feel injured, it is still important to get checked out by a doctor. Some injuries may not show symptoms right away, and delaying medical treatment can result in serious complications down the line. Additionally, seeking medical attention will create a record of your injuries, which will be important later on if you decide to pursue legal action.

Step 2: Document the Accident Scene

After seeking medical attention, it is important to document the accident scene as much as possible. This includes taking photos of the damage to your motorcycle, the other vehicle involved, and any injuries you sustained. If there were any witnesses to the accident, try to get their contact information as well. All of this documentation can be useful evidence later on if you decide to pursue legal action.

Step 3: Report the Accident to Your Insurance Company

You should also report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible. Be honest and detailed in your account of what happened, and provide any documentation you have, such as photos or witness statements. It is important to remember that insurance companies are not on your side, and may try to offer you a settlement that is less than what you deserve. This is why it is important to have an experienced motorcycle accident attorney Dallas on your side.

Step 4: Do Not Admit Fault

It is important to never admit fault after a motorcycle accident, even if you think you may have been partially responsible. Admitting fault can hurt your chances of receiving compensation later on, and may even result in criminal charges if the accident was severe. Instead, stick to the facts of what happened, and let your attorney handle any legal negotiations.

Step 5: Contact a Motorcycle Accident Attorney Dallas

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Dallas, it is crucial to hire a Personal Injury Lawyers Dallas as soon as possible. A qualified attorney can help you navigate the complicated legal process, negotiate with insurance companies, and fight for the compensation you deserve. Your attorney will also be able to represent you in court if necessary, and provide guidance and support throughout the entire process.

Step 6: Keep Records of Your Expenses

After a motorcycle accident, you may be faced with a variety of expenses, such as medical bills, motorcycle repairs, and lost wages from time off work. It is important to keep detailed records of all of these expenses, as they may be included in your compensation package. Your attorney can help you determine what expenses are eligible for compensation, and ensure that you are properly reimbursed.

Step 7: Be Patient

Finally, it is important to be patient throughout the legal process. Resolving a motorcycle accident case can take months or even years, and it is important to not give up or settle for less than you deserve. Your attorney will be with you every step of the way, and will fight for your rights until a fair settlement is reached.

In conclusion, if you were involved in a motorcycle accident in Dallas, it is important to follow these steps to protect your legal rights and ensure your physical and financial recovery. Hiring a motorcycle accident attorney Dallas is particularly important, as they can provide the legal expertise and support you need to navigate the complex legal system. If you are in need of legal representation after a motorcycle accident, contact the experienced Personal Injury Lawyers Dallas.

With the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), which has kept Native children from being purposefully removed from Native families into non-Native foster families since 1978, being reevaluated in the US Supreme Court, it is at risk of being greatly weakened and undoing decades of work to stop the systematic erasure of Native cultural identity.

(It may also re-designate the term "Indian" in the bill to mean a racial classification rather than political, reversing precedent with regard to tribal sovereignty. Native tribes must remain independent entities in the law rather than just a race to protect their rights to self-governance.)

The Lakota People's Law Project is asking US citizens to ask their state lawmakers to enact similar legislation at the state level which codifies the rights and protections ICWA gives to Native children should it be weakened in the Supreme Court. This is not protection for the ICWA itself, although they do have action you can take for that on their website as well. In the link is a pre-written email which you can personalize and easily send to your state lawmakers.

Thanks for your time. :)

The Tavistock gender clinic is facing mass legal action from youngsters who claim they were rushed into taking life-altering puberty blockers.

Lawyers expect about 1,000 families to join a medical negligence lawsuit alleging vulnerable children have been misdiagnosed and placed on a damaging medical pathway.

They are accusing the gender identity development service [GIDS] at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust of multiple failures in its duty of care.

This includes allegations it recklessly prescribed puberty blockers with harmful side effects and adopted an “unquestioning, affirmative approach” to children identifying as transgender.

Last month NHS England announced it was shutting the Tavistock clinic over safety concerns following a damning external review. Care will be handed to regional children’s hospitals.

The law firm Pogust Goodhead has since announced it is pursuing a group litigation order against the trust, which has treated 19,000 children with gender dysphoria (the feeling that one’s emotional and psychological identity differs from one’s birth sex) since 1989.

Former patients given puberty blockers are joining the “class action” lawsuit and papers are due to be lodged at the High Court within six months.

Tom Goodhead, chief executive of Pogust Goodhead, told The Times: “Children and young adolescents were rushed into treatment without the appropriate therapy and involvement of the right clinicians, meaning that they were misdiagnosed and started on a treatment pathway that was not right for them.“

These children have suffered life-changing and, in some cases, irreversible effects of the treatment they received . . . We anticipate that at least 1,000 clients will join this action.”

The allegations of medical negligence are based on the findings of an interim report by Dr Hilary Cass, a former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, who is leading a review of the service.

Cass found the clinic overlooked other mental health issues in children distressed about their gender, and failed to collect data on the use or side effects of puberty blockers, which she said may “temporarily or permanently” disrupt the development of children’s brains.

A GIDS spokesperson said: “GIDS has not heard from Pogust Goodhead about this matter, but it would be inappropriate to comment on any current or potential legal proceeding.

“The service is committed to patient safety. It works with every young person on a case-by-case basis, with no expectation of what might be the right pathway for them, and only the minority of young people who are seen in our service access any physical treatments while with us.”

“rEgReT iS rArE!!1!”

Since medical ethics have consistently been subservient to ideological capture, this seems to be the only thing anyone will listen to. It won’t fix the lives that have been ruined within its walls, but it might discourage another Tavistock emerging.

It’s certainly the case that nothing resembling sanity will return in the US or Canada until the lawsuits start flooding in there.

Thanks to my friend @unwinthehart today I learned that:

Italian actors and screewriters already sued Netflix in March.

In addition to Italian and European laws that regulate fair compensation, rights etc.., we have three actors' associations, trade unions and AGCOM (an indepent administrative agency that regulates and guarantees a fair competition and transparency in media [any type you can think of]).

Before US started we were there. It sounds ominous but it is nevertheless true.
