In case anybody is unclear re. Standing Rock, they are closing the roads on Monday to block access to new water protectors coming in and to people currently at the camps to leave to get supplies/shower etc. and come back in. As of yesterday, they are threatening to start closing off supplies from getting there before the December 5th deadline and saying that first responders will no longer offer medical assistance to water protectors in freezing temperatures who are being blasted with water cannons and shot with rubber bullets. They’re basically saying they’re going to let people freeze and starve to death to protect corporate interests. This is a war.
