The controversial construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) gained national and international attention when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers accepted an application filed by Energy Transfer Partners, a Texas-based developer behind the project.

The position of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is that the Dakota Access Pipeline violates Article II of the Fort Laramie Treaty, which guarantees the "undisturbed use and occupation" of reservation lands surrounding the proposed location of the pipeline. In 2015 the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, operating as a sovereign nation , passed a resolution regarding the pipeline stating that "the Dakota Access Pipeline poses a serious risk to the very survival of our Tribe and ... would destroy valuable cultural resources."

To generate momentum for their cause and demonstrate their opposition to the pipeline, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe organized runs, horseback rides, and marches. Many Native Nations, along with non-Native allies, celebrities, and several politicians supported the movement and travelled to join DAPL protesters at the Sacred Stone Camp on the Standing Rock Reservation. Conditions at the camp became intense. North Dakota law enforcement officials and private guards hired by Energy Transfer Partners clashed with protestors, sometimes violently, and made hundreds of arrests.

On September 3rd, 2016, the Dakota Access Pipeline company used bulldozers to dig up part of the pipeline route that contained possible Native graves and burial artifacts; the land was subject to a pending legal injunction.

Protesters stormed the land and were attacked by a private security firm, armed with attack dogs and pepper spray.

gettin real tired of the libs screaming "commies denying their own genocides" like there's some massive list of "genocides" that were committed by socialist states and it's always just the same fucking two. xinjiang and the holodomor. and maybe sometimes they like to act like tienamen square was a genocide too. come up with some new accusations that haven't been disproven a thousand times

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The US does a genocide every handful of years. And not one word about that.

next time I want to plagiarize for a political essay i should make a smug liberal alt account, post in the comments to a thread here in bad faith, and then base the essay off of 50 well cited intelligent responses instead of chat gpt

It's a popular tactic for getting IT help. Folks won't necessarily help when you ask for it but if you post a flagrantly wrong procedure they will leap to smugly correct you.

I'm trying to reduce my THC use for a couple reasons, largely because I'm going to start looking for a new job.

I will say, the shit about not having dreams when you use THC all the time is true. I've been scaling back my use recently and finally had my first dream that I remember: a realistic dream of me shitting my pants. I woke up and was relieved that I hadn't.

In light of all the shit happening with federation, I'm calling on all our mods to form a union.

(I know things will get better soon with updates and whatnot, I'm just really frustrated after basically going through 1000s of comments today making sure nothing shitty went unreported. Just venting.)

CW: poly drama.

spoilerI have dated a monogamous girl. This is crashing and burning because she has monogamous emotions about me. I foolishly though telling her I was poly and just so very communist was enough to establish that I am not "fixable." Realistically though this is my fault. As she is very mad at me, it is hard to apologize and work on a way to fix this. My nesting partner has told me I am and idiot and frankly I have to agree.

It's kinda bullshit that doctors get the prestige of having sworn an oath when the oath is basically "do your job, and no murdering." Like, why do car mechanics not get to do an oath swearing they will change your oil and not break your car on purpose?
