No, the DAPL is not dead. No, we didn’t win. No, no, no. It’s a trick.
The Army Corps of Engineers has declined to grant the easement for Energy Transfer Partners’ drilling under Lake Oahe. This isn’t the same as denying it outright.
What it means is that they will do a limited Environmental Impact Study before allowing the drilling. The EIS could take months, by which time Trump will be president and they hope all the water protectors leave so they can finish the pipeline quietly with no media attention.

Work has been halted. Some good has been done. But it doesn’t mean it’s over yet! Stay woke!

This is what I’ve been afraid of. If they go quiet for months and the protesters & media all go home, they can do whatever they want once the spotlight’s off.

Really, figure anything we protest will have to continue until Jan 2021 without break. Otherwise they will just continue each project, look how action died out for Flint since the last Candidate appearance.

THE MEDIA OFTEN PUBLISHES STORIES OF “WINS” SO PEOPLE DIE DOWN ABOUT PROTESTING. DO NOT BE FOOLED.
