March 10th, 2017, Standing Rock Očhéthi Šakówiŋ lead #NODAPL protests in DC. Stand in solidarity, amplify outrage, call your reps, follow at #NativeNationsRise.
Yo, if the POPE is visiting Native Americans to lend his support to them, you’d be pretty much guaranteed a prominent seat in hell if you continued to dredge up their land to move around some slippery liquid for meager moola. Just saying.
(And isn’t he receiving blessings from the shaman?)
@ladylastro they already have their seat in hell! we don’t buy God!
He’s trying to help bring attention to the problem – whether anyone believes or not, his support gives this a global audience.
Everything will happen THIS WEDNESDAY on February, 22. Protectors. Media. Get here by Feb. 21. The police have surrounded Oceti Sakowin Camp. Stand with the Native American people in peace and prayer to protect the water and treaty rights.
This is THEIR land. This is THEIR water. This is THEIR rights. Big corporations don’t give a shit about people and environment. Nobody cares. THIS IS NOT OK.
Please, pay attention and share this message. Come if you can. Stop the violence.
Make noise. Do not let this be swept under a rug or forgotten.
this image fucked me up. it used to be strategy of US military to burn our lodges during the wintertime so our ancestors couldn’t survive. in 1864 they attacked peaceful camps of my ancestors in Colorado, and in one attack alone burned over 70 lodges, which is estimated to be about 10% of the Cheyenne Nation’s housing at the time. i’m the seventh generation born since that attack and now we are seeing lodges burned all over again.

Y’all, this is still happening. Please don’t forget about the protectors putting their bodies on the line. Please don’t let them be brutalized by law enforcement. Please stand with Standing Rock. They will need it in the coming weeks and months as inauguration gives way to pro-oil, anti-Native politics.
One word of advice to all the protesters there: Do not believe that your cellphones or your computers are clean and uncompromised. I guarantee you that they’re using the entire suite of surveillance devices. I know that people have been complaining that their cellphones have been down, their internet has been down. That can be caused by surveillance weaponry targeting their devices. It could be because there are so many people using them. But my guess would be that they are using people’s devices, meaning law enforcement and private security, as geo-tracking devices. And people should be very aware that the full CIA/NSA-developed suite of tools that now have made it into the hands of local law enforcement in this country are most certainly trained on those activists and their supporters.

All this military-grade intimidation against people on their own land, protecting their own water.
