Instead, as of this writing, yet another empty, meaningless exercise in futility with the pathetic Sean Spicer...

(113,556 posts)thank you so much for posting this. I am so sorry that they are needing to do this. F*** the extraction industry and its supporters.

What do you think would've happened if the people at standing Rock were simply carrying guns as well?

(176 posts)They attacked them with dogs a few months ago, they killed a pregnant woman, just f*king shot her! I hope the native americans really rise up against these morons.

(22,671 posts)The white man had not treated them with respect and fairness, with a history of atrocities going back to our founders. They fight, they lose. However, what they are doing is garnering support because they're making it about the white man's cruelty. And from that angle, they aren't losing as much anymore, might even be winning.
I hadn't heard about the pregnant woman being killed. That sickens me. Terrible!

(22,671 posts)How the rest of us unable to march today can help them out. A few dollars in change.

(58,785 posts)People from over 500 tribes gathering to protest in an isolated area of North Dakota had some effect, but this is definitely a next step.
