The person killed by police in the forest has been identified to ACPC as Manuel Teran. Manuel was a beloved member of the community. They were generous, running a mutual aid group. In our conversations with those that loved them, two words consistently came up: kind, and fierce.

If I went to an engineer and was like "I want a bridge over the river, I'm on a tight deadline" and he said "how about a bridge that goes halfway over the river" I would go find another engineer.

OK, so not only do Republicans want to institute a federal ban on abortion, but today 195 of them voted against codifying the right to contraception.
Only 8 voted yes. (Every Dem was a yes).
This was not a “gotcha” bill with a bunch of stuff btw. It was pretty straightforward.

remember no single tactic or strategy is best. strong movements are made up of diverse groups with diverse ideas who figure out how to coordinate, avoid stepping on each other’s toes when possible, and never do the enemy’s work for them by informing on each other.

maybe this whole "government will save us if we ask them nice enough" plan isn't the best one the environmental movement has ever hit upon

That’s why a new campaign just launched to call on Gov Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison to drop the charges for the 900+ water protectors who engaged in civil disobedience on the Line 3 pipeline route - in some cases facing felony charges as a result. dropline3charges.com

It’s so hard for me to feel hope for the world but seeing valve turners shut down line 5 made me feel so happy and reminded me how important it is to not let the state convince us to give up these fights. What’s given you hope these past few months?

TODAY:
This water protectors dressed up as a pipeline worker, traveled to Enbridge’s Line 5 in Michigan, and turned the valve to SHUT THE PIPELINE DOWN.
Line 5 is operating illegally. If the politicians won’t turn it off, the people will. #StopLine5

Name a more iconic duo than a politician who ran for office on “climate action” and running away when asked to actually use their power to stop the climate crisis.

BREAKING: Activists just SHUT DOWN Senator Tina Smith’s keynote speech, demanding she call on Biden to #StopLine3.
Two minutes after taking the podium, Smith *fled* to her car to avoid questions about the Line 3 pipeline.
Nice “climate leadership” @SenTinaSmith @TinaSmithMN.

Even after construction finished on Line 3, still hasn’t cleaned up all the drill fluids from their frac-out spills.
The pipeline hasn’t even gotten oil to the end yet, and it’s already been responsible for multiple spills.
How many more spills before we #StopLine3?

BREAKING:
Water protectors confronted @amyklobuchar, calling on her to #StopLine3.
She spent the evening mingling with millionaires at a $1000-per-plate fundraiser. But when approached by young people with the most to lose from climate change, she bolted.
