Don't wonder what you can do. Make a phone call, sign a petition, talk to your friends, send money, send supplies, organize a community action where you live. Move your money. Please. I believe we must act together, in larger and larger numbers.

George Joseph and CityLab have produced some amazing graphics of oil "incidents" across the United States for thirty years. Some of them are gifs, and the blooming of the death and destruction across the country is visually powerful -- and enraging. It's worth spending some time at that link, and be sure to scroll down. Here's one paragraph:

As the time lapse shows, significant pipeline-related incidents have picked up in recent years in certain states. In Texas, for example, the effects of the state’s drilling boom may be seen in its increased accident rate: since 2009 the state has had 497 incidents, over a hundred more than in the seven years before.

We are allowing the greed and disdain of the wealthiest among us to destroy the physical fabric of this land. I want a completely different paradigm. I want all of these pipelines stopped. I want these extractive industries shut down or transformed into something sustainable. I'm done with fossil fuels.

Here's an 8-minute update from Kelsey (sp?) of the Lakota People's Law Project. [video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4nAyFTlF0M]She talks about a petition, construction of barracks at camp for the veterans arriving, and other updates, and you can see folks sledding in the background. She wants us to know that though there has been a lot of panic on social media about the evacuation orders and other threats

The atmosphere at camp is still high energy and positive

That is the impression I get every time I listen to the indigenous leadership. They need all of us, but they got this. They are clear, they are determined, they are not worried about the weather or the governor, and they don't hate the cops.

Did you know that Dalrymple will no longer be the governor of ND after December 15? Suddenly, yesterday, there was a flurry of tweets, though it was not really "news." He had decided not to run this year, and Doug Burgum, a new Republican governor, will take over in 2 weeks. His website looks way conservative, but he's not Dalrymple -- and I read a quote from someone who knew him saying he "has no idea what Burgum will do as governor." I'm gonna be hopeful.

Here's some financial stuff that I don't really understand, so I can't interpret, but maybe someone else here will take a look at it and give us some insight. "High-Risk Financing Behind DAPL."

Here's a more easy to understand -- but less objective -- look at the finances of the DAPL.
