“its safety track record is horrendous, and there's been a stunning lack of transparency with #StandingRock throughout the environmental review process, including inaccurate characterizations of tribal consultation."

continued lack of transparency with #StandingRock throughout the environmental review process, inaccurate characterizations of #TribalConsultation, and sensitive #habitat and #SacredBurialSites along the riverbank.

Earlier this year, four U.S. senators including #BernieSanders submitted a letter to the Corps seeking an explanation. The reply from Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Michael Connor did not adequately or honestly address the tribe's complaints.

Finally, after interminable delay, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has finally released an extremely problematic draft EIS for public input.

That's where you come in. You now have just a few weeks to submit your public comment demanding the #Corps shut this #pipeline down and require a new, valid EIS. Please stand with #StandingRock in this critical moment and write to the Army Corps right now!

that shape the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of projects.

Of course, the U.N. has good reason to make its declaration. The story of #IndigenousOpposition to #extraction isn’t new, and the #Lakota people are no strangers to extractive industry looking to exploit our homelands. From the protests against the Dakota Access pipeline ( #DAPL ) at #StandingRock to mining in the #BlackHills , these violent practices have a storied #history.

“As we replace #FossilFuels with #RenewableEnergy , we have a big question to answer: will we show respect for #IndigenousNations by honoring their authority to determine what happens to their #SacredLands , or will we permit the same tactics the #FossilFuelIndustry has employed for generations to sully our transition to lithium-based green technology?”

#Retelling of the #struggle against #silencingdissent: The enthralling film, From #WoundedKnee to #StandingRock: a Reporter’s Journey, has been screening on local PBS affiliates this year, and it recalls how effective #AIM was in galvanizing U.S. institutions to roll back destructive #ColdWar #policies that exacerbated #Indigenous #poverty, #violence and #incarceration.

In July of 2022, the #BLM acknowledged that the 1865 massacre site was within the mine's project area for purposes of #NationalHistoricPreservationAct review.

Nevertheless, the BLM allowed construction at #ThackerPass under permits that should have been terminated. If this all sounds familiar, maybe that's because it's eerily similar to what happened with #StandingRock and the #DakotaAccessPipeline.

There will absolutely be a watershed moment in your area at some point, where all of these things converge. In Atlanta, it's #StopCopCity. In Akron, it's #JusticeForJayland. Back even further, #StandingRock was another. There is no justice on stolen land. Justice will not come from a settler colony. Next time, make sure you're ready to support in any way you can.

The Intercept and Grist begin release of 50 #TigerSwan documents

by Brenda Norrell, Censored News, April 14, 2023

"The #Intercept and #Grist began releasing new TigerSwan spy documents in new coverage of the mercenaries hired by the #DakotaAccess Pipeline. They now have 50,000 TigerSwan documents, and another 9,000 are held up in the court battle for now. The documents reveal TigerSwan spying on #WaterProtectors at #StandingRock in #NorthDakota, Bold Iowa, and at other locations.

"[Murdered] #Pauite #journalist, drone #activist and filmmaker #MyronDewey was among those that TigerSwan spied on and stalked at Standing Rock..."

AFTER #SPYING ON #STANDINGROCK, TIGERSWAN SHOPPED ANTI-PROTEST “COUNTERINSURGENCY” TO OTHER #OIL COMPANIES

"The released documents provide startling new details about how TigerSwan used social media monitoring, aerial surveillance, radio eavesdropping, undercover personnel, and subscription-based records databases to build watchlists and dossiers on Indigenous activists and environmental organization"

"dozens of on-the-ground security guards, surveilled and infiltrated protesters, and passed along profiles"
