Anti-pipeline activists took credit for shutting down "2 different pipeline valves...along the Line 5" pipeline route in the Great Lakes region. According to Unicorn Riot, this latest act of sabotage is part of an ongoing push against pipelines in the so-called Midwest...

Anti-pipeline protesters took credit for shutting down several valves - part of the much contested #Line5 pipeline - as protests and legal challenges to the pipeline continue.

OK, can anyone explain to me like I’m 10 how it is that “Great Lakes” is a problematic label?

(I mean, OBVIOUSLY #Enbridge is in the wrong. The only argument for keeping #Line5 *at all* is that they want to keep making money from feeding fossil fuel addictions just as they have for decades. )

I’m just confused by “so-called Great Lakes”

They are the largest surface freshwater system in the world. On an unlabeled world map, they stand out as the only feature you’d call “The Great Lakes.”

Two Valves Turned Closed on Enbridge’s Line 5

"It is with a heavy heart and hazy skies we announce that 2 different pipeline valves were turned off along the Line 5 route on Anishinaabae land in the great lakes region.This was done on the 13th anniversary of the Kalamazoo River oil spill. ... They must stop the flow of oil, because all of our lives depend on it.

And if they don’t, we will"

#NativeAmerican #WaterProtectors Assaulted During #Enbridge Lecture at Northern Michigan College

By Sierra Clark, Contributing Writer, June 29, 2023

"A public lecture featuring transnational pipeline and energy company Enbridge last week escalated to the assault of an #Anishinaabe water protector and allies protesting the controversial #Line5 project.

"The event, hosted by North Central Michigan College (NCMC) in Petoskey on June 22, featured an Enbridge representative speaking about the Great Lakes Tunnel Project that would house a section of Line 5 under the Straits of Mackinac.

"During the lecture, the environmental protestors entered the NCMC Library Center and were confronted physically by several people attending the luncheon event."

Attorney General #DanaNessel filed a lawsuit to shut down #Enbridge’s #Line5 pipeline, saying it was a grave threat to #Michigan & the #GreatLakes. The 70 year old oil & liquid natural gases pipeline which sits on the bottom of the Straits of Mackinac which connects Lakes Michigan & Huron. Nessel says Line 5 is a "ticking timebomb" because of the risk of an oil spill.
