Is anyone else upset that the Texas Tar Sands Blockade,

[grntuscarora]

now in its 24th day, is getting so little msm attention? Even on DU, not much is being posted. Thanks to Daryl Hannah it's received any press at all. I know from OWS that press coverage lags far behind actual events, but after 24 days it's about time to pay attention, imo.

I'm so deeply impressed with the non-violent protesters. They are inspiring.

1. Yes! I'm very upset about this. Few know that the pipeline is going ahead. nt

2. Yes, I can't believe it isn't getting covered in the MSM.

Indian Country Today covers it pretty well. The activists have been doing a really good job of getting video. I'll take a look at my friend's YouTube channel and post a link. People need to know how truly toxic tar sand is.

3. They're doing great work.

It IS being ignored by the mainstream, and I do hate that.

4. Good blog

Here's an interview with a Lakota grandmother a bit north of the current demonstration in Texas. We can't live without clean water and neither can anything else.
