Tribes fear consequences for Great Lakes as Trump administration fast-tracks Line 5 pipeline. An interesting story from @adrianamperezr about a pipeline from Wisconsin to Ontario and its attending controversies

Wisconsin officials granted Enbridge permits for Line 5 in the same week they discovered this oil spill. What will it take to protect the Bad River watershed and the Great Lakes from a Line 5 disaster? https://t.co/3hPNEXYPgn

[Earthjustice @Earthjustice]

Earthjustice has filed two legal challenges to stop Enbridge’s Line 5 reroute, which would encircle the Bad River Band’s Reservation in northern Wisconsin, where the pipeline has trespassed for over a decade.

NEWS from @michigan_public: Beth Wallace of @NWFGreatLakes talks to @MichiganWatch about Enbridge's proposal to reroute Line 5 against the wishes of Tribal nations and 150,000 people who submitted comments to @USACEHQ

The Hualapai Tribe, represented by Earthjustice, has won a temporary restraining order in federal district court, freezing a lithium drilling operation that is endangering their sacred spring. https://t.co/3pyEXFMLGA

We all need clean water. The proposal to reroute the dangerous and trespassing Line 5 oil pipeline risks our current and future clean water supply. That's why over 150k comments have urged federal regulators to #RejectLine5. https://t.co/QmAyY3TpS9

"Safety is the very foundation of our business," says trespassing oil company with criminal charges and the country's largest inland oil spill on its record. #RejectLine5 https://t.co/TSaVEFl7Gj

Why is this Tribe forced to put up with a dangerous Canadian oil pipeline trespassing on their land?

“If wild rice or certain aspects of the Kakagon Sloughs disappear, there is a certain part of Ojibwe people that won’t live on,” Daniel Wiggins said.

🚨Today at @DropSiteNews we're publishing some truly unbelievable audio we've put to animation.

A man in Pakistan was abducted by half a dozen men in black and taken to a jail cell. The man's brother, who lives overseas, then got a phone call from his brother's phone. It was his captors. The call is recorded.

What did they want? For the overseas brother to *delete tweets* and stop posting about Imran Khan for 30 days. He initially refused, and they beat his brother, making sure he could hear.

Please give a listen and share widely.

We stand in solidarity with the Bad River Band and with all Tribal Nations threatened by this dangerous oil pipeline. It is past time to end Enbridge's illegal trespass and shut down Line 5. https://t.co/zWvljVGHTT

Enbridge is a wealthy Canadian fossil fuel corporation that operates the Line 5 oil pipeline through the Great Lakes.

This pipeline endangers 21% of the world’s fresh surface water just so Endbridge can make a profit. It’s time to #ShutDownLine5! https://t.co/4WwZumlCnW

BREAKING: Alaska Native Tribes @SEITC_org press Canada’s government for recognition -- as modern successors of the Tlingit people who occupied the Unuk River since ancient times -- to protect their traditional territory from a risky open-pit gold mine. https://t.co/n4ePM5cLYB

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Cutting off support to @UNRWA - the primary source of humanitarian aid to 2 million+ Gazans - is unacceptable.

Among an organization of 13,000 UN aid workers, risking the starvation of millions over grave allegations of 12 is indefensible.

The US should restore aid immediately.

Detroiters experience high rates of asthma hospitalizations & death yet @EPA is letting Michigan get away with looser ozone restrictions.

We filed an amicus brief with @MiC4CA @MIAirMIHealth demanding stricter emissions controls to protect clean air. https://t.co/YOI7AWOULE

And now for 100 more years of oil in the Great Lakes, brought to you by @MichiganPSC

BREAKING: Oil giant Enbridge’s permit to extend life of Line 5 w/ an untested pipeline tunnel has been granted.

This order insults Tribal Nations & gambles with the clean water of 40 million people. It serves no one except Enbridge's shareholders. https://t.co/bvK2bX4G7z

make sure to check your kids’ halloween candy this year. I just found a man with no expertise trying to explain a complex topic to the female journalist who covers it for a living inside my son’s snickers bar

Until the EPA uses its power to defend Title VI, people will continue to suffer. “We’re having funerals every week in St. James,” said Shamyra Lavigne, an Earthjustice partner. “We already know this is racism. We already know it’s environmental violence… I need this to stop.”
