BREAKING: Despite violating Ojibwe treaty rights, despite climate science & future generations, @GovTimWalz administration has granted the MPCA 401 Water Certification to send Line 3 dirty tar sands thru 818 wetlands, via @lbishopw.

We stand ✊🏽❤️

[giniw collective @GiniwCollective]

Enbridge says it “respects the process” yet it’s violated our wetlands already. This is who is trusted to send tar sands through 818 wetlands?

Final water crossing permits decision due Nov 14. via @GovTimWalz. Our kids’ water or short-term jobs?

[Overstory Alliance @_overstory]

Today, @lbishopw and the @MnPCA approved the last permits @Enbridge needs to start building the Line 3 tar sands oil pipeline.

This is a betrayal of the MPCA's mission, and a betrayal of Indigenous sovereignty.

Mark our words: we WILL #StopLine3.

@KerriMPR please talk about Line 3. Final permits will likely soon be issued and construction could start this winter. This will affect Minnesotans (especially our indigenous communities) in extreme and devastating ways and will result in huge emissions with global impacts.

Happy #Juneteenth, St. Paul. On this day in 1865, enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas finally received word of the Emancipation Proclamation and learned that they were free two full years after it was issued.

@bumbleboone Nobody should be made to feel this way. Academia must change.

@TwinCitiesDSA It's more than just Gov. Walz. We need to hold all our politicians accountable! https://t.co/FF96N2ckQz

In light of the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police, we demand that politicians redirect any campaign donations from law enforcement organizations to communities of color. #NoCopMoney https://t.co/dVSwm2deng
