Anti Indigenous Violence - Tumblr Posts
after watching a police interview with nex benedict it is !!my opinion!! that they were dismissive and negligent, as well as the school.
this petition calls for an independent investigation into their death, especially since the police have take the liberties to claim that it was not the result of head trauma(interpretation, not fact.). and i think you all should sign it 👍 they’re only 50ish votes from their goal but we should still go over that.
so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
hey!!!! remember standing rock water protectors and the dakota access pipeline?
the massive, poorly constructed environmental risk that spat all over the Standing Rock Sioux people's treaty rights? that dug up their sacred burial sites? the one where the oil corporation who owned it bought out a private company to do a sham of an "environmental analysis" and never consulted the tribe and STILL didn't actually get approval? the one that's literally operating illegally and without proper permits right fucking now?
yeah, that.
you remember that.
surprising absolutely no one, the army corps of engineers this week (September 8, 2023) released an EIS (environmental impact statement) draft for public comment that takes into account absolutely 0 of the tribe's concerns, and in fact did not consult with them once in the process!
they're going to officially approve the pipeline.
what's the good news?
IT'S A DRAFT. YOU CAN SUBMIT PUBLIC COMMENT RIGHT NOW UNTIL NOVEMBER 13!!!
