First it was Chuck Shumer in the Senate.
Now it's Nancy Pelosi in the House.

Last Monday night, representatives of several different groups associated with the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline responded to the ND governor's eviction notice. Without exception, all of the indigenous leaders affirmed that no representative of ND has any jurisdiction to evict them. They are not going anywhere. They cannot be trespassing, since they are on their own land, a sovereign nation. There were statements from LaDonna Bravebull Allard of the Standing Rock Sioux nation, Kandi Mossett from the Indigenous Environmental Network, Tara Houska from Honor the Earth, and a member of the legal team that filed the class action suit against Morton County, and two people, a woman and a man whose names I didn't catch, spoke about treaty law, Supreme Court precedents, and other legal stuff.

"To protest is to be weak, to give your power to what you protest against. It’s just an illusion, protest just empowers the illusion of your mind. We are not weak, we are power. A warrior does not stand aside protest when a bully tries to make a brother or sister his victim, warrior stands up and protects. We are power."

Quick hit.

This is all over the internet and being discussed. I'll give it the Big Al angle.

This is just one person in one place, but it's interesting how it played out and how it's being played in the media. Most are calling it a racist rant and siding with the black employees while some are defending the white woman.

My hair is literally on fire!
Or maybe it's my pants. I can't tell.
Either way, Russia is taking over America and soon they'll be force-feeding us borscht three times a day.
It's all because of fake news like this!

Queer Kid Stuff is dedicated to the early education of children in regards to queer issues. The human Lindsay and the stuffed bear Teddy attempt to communicate with kids in an engaging manner so that they might grow up somewhat knowledgeable about LGBT people and our place in the world.

You probably won't be surprised that a number of critics have called this brainwashing.
