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
There have been **many** letters by elected officials calling on Biden, the State Department, and the Army Corps to cancel the line 3 pipeline.

How many has @amyklobuchar signed?

Zero Image
Amy Klobuchar signed on to the Green New Deal when politically convenient - when she was trying to win a Democratic primary.

Then the political winds shifted a tiny bit - and she dunked on it, writing it off as "aspirational."

Conviction. Image
Amy:

You can support Big Oil.

Or you can support the Water Protectors putting it all on the line to #StopLine3.

Which side are you on?
Line 3 is under BOTH federal & state jurisdiction.

@GovTimWalz issued numerous permits.

@POTUS is defending the pipe in court - and letting his Army Corps stand by it.

Amy Klobuchar could call for action from both politicians.

But she sits back.

And she cowers.

Breaking news: Michele Naar, one of the Four Necessity Valve Turners, was just found NOT GUILTY on Line 3 charges! #DropL3Charges

Last March, Michele and dozens of others gathered at the Mississippi River in Grand Rapids, MN to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the largest oil spill in US history from the old Line 3.

Law enforcement kettled and cited most everyone present at that peaceful commemoration.
Two weeks ago, Michele represented herself in a bench trial for a public nuisance charge with more than 30 supporters in the courtroom. This week, she was found not guilty! Text: Multiple protest sign...

We stand with water protectors fighting the Line 3 pipeline, many of whom have been criminalized for their role in the movement. Today we're uplifting the words of Alisha from the so-called American Midwest, who's facing felony and misdemeanor charges.

This is her story. 🧵 A white woman with long bro...
"Cops in Minnesota tortured me while I was protesting Line 3. The torture method the officers used is called “pain compliance” and is nothing but brutalization at the hands of the state to try to stop protestors from continuing to exercise their rights."
"The state of MN charged me with felony theft, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. The greed, corruption, and destruction present in the fossil fuel industry seems unfathomable on the daily but it is very much a reality, and one I will continue to fight."

Despite standing up to protect the land, water protectors are being criminalized by the state. We aim to give them their due and share their words.

Today we're hearing from Siihasin Hope, a 25-year-old land defender facing 4 misdemeanor charges. Read on for her story. 🧵 Text: CashApp: $Siihasinhope Paypal: @siihasinhope Venmo: Ho
"Defending the water and Mother Earth is neither criminal nor violent. I got involved in the movement to stop Line 3, because I am of the Bitterwater clan in my community, it is my obligation as a Tódích'íí'nii clan member to protect and defend my relatives, such as the Water."
"These charges make life more difficult than it already is. There already is a target on me as I am Indigenous, two spirit and a water protector wherever I go. I'm going to court to get my cases dismissed. Defending the water and Mother Earth is neither criminal nor violent."

Today let's hear from Adam, a 21-year-old water protector in Saint Paul. He's charged with Misdemeanor Trespass.

"I began climate justice work when I got to the Twin Cities in 2018 after many beloved friends and comrades taught me about the already years-long Line 3 fight." 🧵 A picture of Adam, a smiling person with tan skin and a brow
"I knew that keeping the pipes out of the ground meant more to me than any other action I could take. When construction began, friends and loved ones began taking action up north, I joined them in February and was arrested and held for 72 hours in Beltrami County Jail in April."
"During my arrest I was forced into an ambulance I did not need where I sat handcuffed for 20 minutes before being transferred back to the sheriff's vehicle and brought to jail. My comrades and I received $500 bills from the ambulance company."

New photo: Amy Klobuchar tried to spend the evening mingling with millionaires at a fundraiser.

Flooding in through a service entrance, Line 3 resistors shut it down.
Humiliated, Amy Klobuchar ended her speech and fled the stage.
As long as Amy Klobuchar is complicit in Line 3 destroying her own constituents and her own state, she deserves for her events to be shut down. Full stop.

Here’s the beautiful & dramatic video capturing the confrontation:

BREAKING: @SenAmyKlobuchar was just confronted at a fundraising event by a group of water protectors who SHUT DOWN her speech.

When faced with Indigenous youth questioning her inaction on Line 3, she rolled her eyes, tried to interrupt, and eventually fled the stage. #StopLine3
@SenAmyKlobuchar This isn't the first time that @amyklobuchar has been confronted on her Line 3 stance. This has happened several times already.

What's remarkable is that every single time, her response is to run away.

Senator, do you really think this is a good look?

Amy must hate this. It's like she can't have a single expensive private event for big-money donors without it being rudely interrupted by the people her policies are killing.

The worst part is, she could end this anytime. She could come out and say #StopLine3, but she won't.
