Well it would have been pretty badass if he’d thrown his weight in on this issue.

Lucky one you are.

Old news; the company is still proceeding with the pipeline, and Obama is doing nothing to stop them, or the brutal crackdown on protectors.

That’s exactly what I said earlier in the thread. What’s your issue with me?

I voted for hillary. Obama is in the wrong and he trying to have it both ways. Obama deserves way more critism for this than hillary because hes president. Hillarys response to this is bullshit. The company is in the wrong and she doesnt have the courage to stand with the protesters.

Don’t hold your breath; like anyone who cares about this issue I know that we’ll have to push her very hard on it, as well as other progressive issues. What’s your solution; vote for Jill Stein so Trump shuts down the environmental justice movement altogether?

Also, why the fuck are we putting a billions dollars in something that goes against our latest agreement to cut carbon emissions?

That’s what Obama did, that’s what Hillary is doing. Many smug people who think they are very smart haven’t caught on

Minnesota law enforcement seems to have an issue with brown people of late. Not content to shoot their own brown people, they’re now exported their special skills to shoot them elsewhere.

Outside agitators=Bad. Outside goons=Good and patriotic.

I got angry as hell when Minnesota sent law enforcement people into this shit storm and made my displeasure know with the Governor’s office. What’s even more annoying is that MN doesn’t even have a dog in this fight since the pipeline never comes thru the state.

This wraps so many social justice issues into one situation; militarization of police and police brutality (specifically use of violence and illegal mass arrests to break peaceful protest), Privatization of police (public law enforcement resources used against the public) imminent domain and other means of theft of…

Don’t let it die, keep up the pressure. Let them know this is unacceptable, that we remember, and we vote. Don’t let them think for a minute that we’re not watching.

There was a huge local outcry (in the Twin Cities), petitions, & protests against the Hennepin County Sheriff’s department when they sent sheriff’s deputies up there. On the bright side, this meant we got coverage on every newscast about the DAPL & the protestors. The deputies have left Standing Rock, as of now, and…

Yes, please post the list. I have one, too, but it’s on a different device I don’t have access to at the moment. I need to round these things up together, just haven’t had the time.

Thank you for this! I’m going to find the list of needs and ways to help put out by the Standings Rock camp and post it here too. I don’t know how much any of this will help, but it’s better than just being angry. At the very least, I am going to leave Wells Fargo for another bank and tell them that their investment…

Just visited their page. I like how they’re now pitching the “outside agitators” angle. If anything, it makes them look worse.

If anyone feels like taking their anger and disgust and putting it toward making your voice heard on the subject, I have just the thing for you:

This is shameful. If anyone feels like being even more angry and disgusted, you should check out the Morton County Sheriff’s Department Facebook page and watch the way they try to spin this shit.
