Both Conservatives and Liberals are hitting him on this.  Fucking FOX News even.

Let me be clear on something, as a person who attended the DC March. There were no arrests and no “riots” because this march was organized and largely attended by white women. Yes, there were people of many races and cultures in attendance, but it was a largely white event. I was there. I saw it.

My white ass was walking down a street–that had to be blocked off–screaming “Black lives matter!” and nothing happened.

And you know what? There was little police presence. Honestly. I was warned to wear a bandana for tear gas and to bring clear bags in case the huge militarized police presence wanted to take my bag. I was told to not be frightened by the tanks and to know that I was practicing my right to peaceful protest.

But y'all, there were no tanks. I saw one military vehicle and maybe four cop cars. I saw more police and military in the metro on the way in.

And there was a reason for that. Had these marches been organized and largely attended by women of color, this would have gone so differently. There were people climbing on cars and on porta-johns and in the trees. Offenses that have earned tear gas and tasing and vitriol from law enforcement at MUCH SMALLER and manageable events. Don’t look at this as “Well they were polite for once.” I’m sorry to tell you this, but that is a racist statement.

Bad River Chippewa want Enbridge Pipeline removed

The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa nation is denying renewal of the Enbridge Line 5 crude oil pipeline easement through its reservation in Northern Wisconsin.

On the evening of January 4 the Bad River tribal council passed a formal resolution not only denying the Canada based Enbridge Energy’s easement for its 64-year-old pipeline but also calling for its decommissioning and removal from all Bad River lands and watershed.

“This is truly a historic moment, as we are the first [Nation] to take action in this manner over a pipeline,” said Sandy Deragon, a member of the Bad River nation.

Indeed, as noted in an article in Earth First Journal, most public and tribal opposition to pipelines has concentrated on halting new construction.

The Nation’s decision caught Enbridge leaders unawares.

“We are surprised to learn of the Bad River Band’s decision not to renew individual easements within the reservation for Line 5 after negotiating in good faith for the past several years,” Enbridge leaders said in a statement.

Bad River council member Dylan Jennings said the Nation’s decision was not related to opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) near the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota.

“We stand in solidarity with our Standing Rock relatives, but this decision has been long overdue for our community,” Jennings said. “Our people have been concerned about the safety of this pipeline for quite some time.”

Environmental and citizen groups in the region have been sharing concerns over the aging pipeline with the tribe for years, according to reports.

During the past few months as public awareness of potential problems with the pipeline grew, community members expressed concern about the lack of transparency of ongoing negotiations between Enbridge and Bad River tribal agencies, according to Deragon.

At last, the community called for a public pipeline meeting at which Bad River Tribal Chairman Robert Blanchard called for the January 4 resolution to deny the easement.
