Last time he joined Bad Faith, Steven Donziger explained how he was victim of a corporate prosecution: After wining an unprecedentedly large judgement against oil company Chevron for polluting the Ecuadoran Amazon and positing thousands of indigenous people, Chevron took revenge on Steven, mounting a corporate prosecution that landed him with 45 days in prison and a combined total of 993 of house arrest. Now he's out and talking about how draconian sentences against environmental protestors are being used prevent activist from doing what he did and more.

If Trump should be prosecuted - it was NOT A COUP - then Biden should be prosecuted for HIS corruption. Btw, also Nancy, Mitch, Schumer, Manchin, the Senate and most of Congress. Coup d'etat? Puleeze.

"Democratize the Democrats" Oh Steven, they're beyond reform. You must know this.

Donzinger is the realist of us all. Really hope he becomes a political figure, honestly. A Green one or any besides a Democrat or Republican would be sick.

I'm not new to this story so the shocking tyrannical treatmeant of Donzinger dosen't shock me like when I first heard about it. What does shock me is how long this treatment of him continues. And one other point he made about how twitter is worse now than before. I'm not claiming billionaire sainthood for Elon but he did just expose the US government for conspiring and denying our 1st ammendment rights......that aint nothing.

THANK GOD for Bri, American Exception, MultiPolarista, GrayZone, Empire Files, Matt Taibbi and Status Coup (despite the Waldron interview which was Bad Judgement if not bad faith- still covering up after 59 years....... ), high-profile individuals like Susan Sarandon and Roger Waters for continuing to push the truth out into the light at high personal risk. What we owe to them we also owe to each other, ourselves and our posterity. aw

What's wild to me is that folks like Donziger, Assange, and so many more are being targeted because they uncovered the terrible things the US government and corporations are doing in other countries. If the US government allows its own people to be poisoned and battered within its borders, you can only imagine what it does abroad. I don't know. There's a Jamaican (and probably other places) saying, "Who can't hear must feel." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3TSLdtWCJU If the government keeps ignoring the pleas of its people, I think people will gravitate towards more violent actions (Jan 6th) in an effort to get these "elected representatives" to start paying attention.

These 'terrorism enhancement' laws were pioneered several years ago, when the FBI designated animal activists as the 'number one domestic terrorism threat' in the US. Dianne Feinstein co-authored and sponsored the AETA, Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. Hippies with bolt cutters going to federal prison for letting mink out of their cages. Some of these kids killed themselves in prison. They are heros.

Great episode! The struggle never ends... Mr. Donziger and others are doing important work that needs all the support it can get from around the world. Polluters must be held to account to send a message to others.

Really great episode. Not only did you touch on his case but you also went into deeper structural issues of the two party duopoly and civil disobedience. I also really like when she speaks from legal experience and analyze things from your lawyer lens. B would make a great human rights lawyer alongside Steven!
