In The Quiet Of The Night - Reading
Submitted by LaFeminista on Tue, 12/06/2016 - 7:03pmI do like the wee small hours - I also have moderate insomnia anyway so I might as well enjoy it. It also gives me the absolute quiet here in the countryside to read. So one article tonight I'm thinking about by George Monbiot.

Trump Democrat Says Pipeline to Continue; McKibben Points to Successes
Submitted by divineorder on Tue, 12/06/2016 - 2:18pmYesterday we decided to brave the cold and ride our bikes to yoga. Cold is relative of course, was up to 40F with a wind. Thinking about the Water Protectors spurred us on, up there in North Dakota where cold is damn cold.
Activists Will Fight to Delay Dakota Access Pipeline Even if Trump Reverses Decision
Submitted by Steven D on Tue, 12/06/2016 - 1:47pmA few days ago, I mentioned in various comments that it would be difficult for Trump to overturn the Army Corps of Engineers' ("ACOE" or "Corps," hereafter) decision to refuse an easement to the backers of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) to allow them to drill and complete their pipeline under Lake Oahe. Why?
Campaign of Terror: (re-)normalizing political racism
Submitted by Sandino on Tue, 12/06/2016 - 1:14pmThis has been a depraved and depressing election, and its results have left many terrorized and deeply mistrustful of their fellow citizens' character and intentions. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to spread divisive propaganda of racial antagonism, and it has had an impact.
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum
Submitted by LaFeminista on Tue, 12/06/2016 - 11:39amI'm having fits of giggles at the moment.
You know when you argue about any kind of reform before an election takes place the partizans poo-poo it all the time?
Standing Rock: ND Terrorists Threaten Water Protectors
Submitted by blazinAZ on Tue, 12/06/2016 - 11:06amOn December 5, two masked men used their vehicles to block a car with two water protectors inside and then verbally assaulted and threatened them with violence. One of the attackers then chased another man, who was filming the encounter. The two videos below are two different views, one from inside the car, the other from outside the car. Warning: violent language and aggressive threats (each vid is 2-3 mins). I can't seem to embed the FB video, but the first link below is from inside the car. **Edited: I found a Youtube version of the video from inside the car

"Market Based" Healthcare Solutions : A Future of Leech Farms and Barber-Surgeons
Submitted by Phoebe Loosinhouse on Tue, 12/06/2016 - 7:14amLet's be clear about one thing - Obamacare sucks and the Democrats failed on a phenomenal scale when they attempted to modify our "uniquely American" system of keeping for-profit insurers at the center of our healthcare system. Ever wonder why our system is "unique"? Because almost every other sane country in the world has realized that "profit" and "healthcare" cannot co-exist in the same space.
