Removing a Governor from the podium during his keynote address is an act of justice. And accountability. And radical love for those we cherish and those who will proceed us. #StopLine3
As we blockaded the stage, forcing @GovTimWalz to flee just moments after he started speaking, we thought not just about what we were shutting down, but also about the new possibilities - moral, economic, ecological - we were opening up.
If you want to re-live those moments of renewed hope collective euphoria, watch the recording here:

Manoomin (wild rice)🌾is lead plaintiff in first ever "Rights of Manoomin" lawsuit filed by White Earth against @mndnr. The agency permitted Enbridge to take 5 billion gallons of water during a drought to build #Line3.

This case is reshaping the law as we know it: a thread (1/6) Image
@mndnr Plaintiffs are claiming that the DNR violated the rights of manoomin as well as multiple treaty rights to hunt, fish and gather along Line 3's route.

“Manoomin will have its day in court; this is big,” said Michael Fairbanks, chairman of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe. (2/6) Image
@mndnr The move stems from the "Rights of Nature" doctrine, a legal theory acknowledging that an ecosystem is entitled to legal personhood status and has rights to defend itself in a court of law against harms, including environmental degradation caused by projects like Line 3. (3/6)

For those wondering why today @SenAmyKlobuchar literally turned her back on a youth water protector asking for a livable planet . . . Here’s the best explanation we’ve seen so far.
#StopLine3
Thank you to @davidsirota for flagging this monumental conflict-of-interest.

BREAKING: @SenAmyKlobuchar was just confronted by water protectors, asking her if she’ll call on Biden to #StopLine3.

She froze - then turned her back and stormed away.
Let's talk about @amyklobuchar:

Asked about Line 3 in an interview, she said it was up to the state.

Funny because the **federal** Army Corps is in charge of granting the permits.

She's not dumb - she's deceptive. Image
She's been so bad on this issue that Water Protectors had to resort to protesting outside her office.

At the action, leading #StopLine3 campaigner @WinonaLaduke said "You need to be the woman who stands up for the water, Amy." Image

What?

The governor of your state was booed off the stage moments into his speech - at this very event.

50 water protectors literally shut down the whole thing.

And you pretend nothing happened?

Unreal how far you’ll go to avoid mention of the #StopLine3 struggle.
Here is the screen shot in case @RepWolgamott takes the tweet down
The @DFL_RuralCaucus did it too, showing @GovTimWalz in that *tiny* window of time between when he took the stage and when he FLED, pedal floored and tires screeching, in an SUV skidding over gravel.
If you want rural Minnesotans to stop embracing Trumpism, try not lying to them.

BREAKING: A speech by @GovTimWalz at a Democratic party event in Alexandria, MN was SHUT DOWN by 50 water protectors demanding he #StopLine3!

Minutes into his speech and vastly outnumbered, Walz fled the event.

Direct action gets the goods!
Since he was elected, Walz has refused to take action against the Line 3 tar sands oil pipeline- despite it having the potential to emit more carbon than his entire state.

We have tried for years to be civil. We have tried having a dialogue. None of it worked.
Before election, Walz said any pipeline that goes through treaty lands was a “non-starter” for him. He said Line 3 needed a “social permit” from the people of MN to be built.

Yet here we are. He’s building a deeply unpopular pipeline through treaty lands.

What changed, Tim?

Jessica Reznicek, an immensely strong & courageous Water Protector, was sentenced on Wednesday to 8 years in federal prison for her actions to stop #DAPL. (1/7) A photo of Jessica smiling. Her shirt reads “You can jail
She said, “I am saddened to be preparing for prison...my spirit remains strong, however, as I feel held in love, support & prayer by so many near and far. Regardless of my sentence I am hopeful that movements to protect the water live on in the struggles against #Line3 and #MVP.” Jessica writes “water” on a board that is part of a bloc
The judge sided with Federal prosecutors and applied a domestic terrorism enhancement to Jessica’s case, saying it was necessary to discourage others from taking similar actions. (3/7)
