Cheers to the brave protestors who stood up for themselves and others in the face of corporate greed, institutionalized racism, and militarized police brutality. Hopefully this victory will last.

feared it could poison their drinking water. The Sioux are literally
being forced at gunpoint to accept ecological risks that North Dakota’s
white residents refused.“
