So what's so bad about #CoastalGaslink? The project doesn't affect the United States, & its website touts lots of Indigenous Input AND even respecting #UNDRIP!

Clean Natural Gas!

Except ...

The @CoastalGasLink project is owned by @TCEnergy, which, despite ITS slick website touting Safety as their #1 Value

TCEnergy has uhm, less than perfect safety records:

in Walsh County North Dakota LAST OCTOBER 2019 over 383,000 gallons spilled

So maybe now you see why the Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs are trying to stop CGL from building on their land.

RCMP has shown up with paramilitary force, all
#WetsuwetenSolidarity 4/14
TransCanada Energy* has billions +soldiers with guns and heavy machinery.

All #Wetsuweten has is cameras, prayers, and the people around the world standing in solidarity with them.

You've seen this before...

You know they will roll in with teargas & Cointelpro tactics (And they build it into their investment costs of the pipeline, while calling land defenders like the Hereditary Chiefs "paid professional protestors")

Yes @TCEnergy, @CoastalGasLink's parent corp is just TransCanada Energy rebranded by a marketing agency)

oh and in case you don't think this is your problem?

Remember Walsh County in North Dakota
Remember Amherst South Dakota.

last thoughts ( I am not at #Wetsuweten, but while I am in Denver Metro CO, my heart is with them. I am not a paid protestor or bot. I'm a tiny-platform Indigenous poet who is hurt by this violence against the Wetsuweten lands

I'm sorry i can't

do more but I am extremely ill today as I hurt my back and might have a cold/flu.

I just ask that if you see this thread, that you share it intact with the hashtags #Wetsuweten so that maybe national USA and the world will start paying attention #CNN #CBS #NPR

Credibility and trust can take decades to build up.

It can be smashed in an instant.

rebuilding it is harder.

know your friends, and hold them to account.

There are Native life ways that reinforce this in matters that "Capitalism" and "Civilization" fail to.
For us, in my family & Rez, that means the richest of us are measured by how much we give away, or help others in our group, or inter-tribally. (You may have heard the term Inter-tribal at Powwows.)

"Wealth" was measured by our generosity.

A generosity which
Colonizers and Settlers abuse(d), to DEVASTATING effect, that I'm sure you've heard about. (Natives being disappeared and genocides, etc.)

@wordglass
Since I get the awesome chance to reintroduce myself, my name is not "Mari Kurisato," but that is the name I use on the internet, (for my family's safety.) My websites are polychromantium.com and patreon.com/wordglass
I'm a Nakawē (Saulteaux) Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) Native
I'm from the Saganace family on the Cote First Nation reserve, and I'm Makwa Doodem which is a very clunky way to say I'm from Bear Clan. I trace my families back to the YellowQuill Reserve via the Taysup family,

I'm also a disabled, LGBTQIPA woman, a sci-fi writer, and mom
Besides cerebral palsy, & spinal stenosis, I have several mental disabilities like dyscalculia, as well as having a few mental illnesses like cPTSD, severe anxiety disorder, & "disorders otherwise not specified" ( read: I'm a Native.)

Mari—Ojibwe—Writer: Serious Mode

Ahem! Hi!

Dear NonNatives 2019 edition:

Nothing is your spirit animal. Not a person, place or thing. NOTHING is your spirit animal. YOU DO NOT GET ONE. Spirit animals derive from Anishinaabe and other Indigenous Nations' deeply held religious beliefs.
It is a sacred, beloved process that is incredibly secret. You as a NonNative CAN say “X is my spirit animal” but as an Anishinaabe woman I hear "I'm an ignorant jerkpaddle."
There are better words.

If you want to say X is my spirit animal, DON'T.
Try "Patronus" or "Muse." or "Inspiration" NONE OF WHICH MISAPPROPRIATE LIVING CULTURES. NonNatives who think I'm mean for picking on them for saying "X is my spirit animal" will receive an apology when the continent is returned

5 years ago, the then Secretary of State John Kerry before heading to Venezuela on Aug 14, 2015 in an interview with @oppenheimera stated that "the United States & Cuba are talking about ways to solve the Venezuelan crisis." cubanexilequarter.blogspot.com/2020/01/undere… #Cuba #Russia #Venezuela 2/21
The situation in Venezuela continued to worsen, and the presence of the Castro regime only served to aggravate the situation in the South American country. cubanexilequarter.blogspot.com/2020/01/undere… #Cuba #Russia #Venezuela 3/21

#EpsteinUnsealed

"John Alessi, a maintenance worker there from 1990 until about 2001, said he saw about 100 female masseuses at various times in the house.

After massages, Mr. Alessi said in a deposition, he occasionally found sex toys in Ms. Maxwell’s bathroom in the mansion."
"... He said he put gloves on, rinsed the instruments and placed them in a closet.

Mr. Rodriguez, Mr. Epstein’s butler, had a similar recollection. In July 2006, he told a Palm Beach police detective in a sworn statement that after girls gave massages to Mr. Epstein..."
."..Mr. Rodriguez would go into his bedroom to wipe down vibrators and sex toys and then stash them in a wooden armoire near Mr. Epstein’s bed.

On occasion, Mr. Alessi said, he drove Ms. Maxwell from one Palm Beach spa to another, where she left her business cards..."

Fascinating CA6 opinion today holding that chalking a tire for parking enforcement -- to see if the car had been there a while in violation of parking rules -- violates the 4th Amendment. Not sure where I come out on it, but fun issue. Here's a thread. opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/1… #N
The court first reasons that the chalking is a Jones trespass, which the court, without analysis, says is determined by a common law trespass test as interpreted by the Restatement 2nd of Torts.
The court then says the trespass was done "to obtain information," as required by Jones, b/c the purpose of chalking is to find out what cars haven't been moved.

@StrategyBin
06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism. 

#racism #systemicracism #history
If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
