I find this tweet by the Department of State unbelievable: "U.S. condemns detention of 100s of peaceful protesters in #Russia today. Detaining peaceful protesters is an affront to democratic values." Fortunately, there have been many people on Twitter, like tara houska, who are reminding the U.S. Department of State about what recently happened in Standing Rock.

I thought about you and the water protectors when I heard that on the news. The hypocrisy is astounding.

Excerpt from the article: Judge orders removal of gas pipeline on Indian land in Oklahoma

An energy company has been ordered to remove a natural gas pipeline from an Indian allotment in Oklahoma after failing to secure consent from the landowners for nearly two decades.

The owners of the 137-acre parcel agreed to a 20-year easement for the pipeline back in 1980. According to federal court documents, they were paid $1,925 for the right-of-way on a 0.73-acre portion of their property.

After the easement expired in 2000, they were offered $3,080 for another 20-year lease, according to the documents. But a majority of the allotment's owners never agreed to the proposed amount, which they contend was far below market value.

Despite the lack of consent, a firm named Enogex continued to operate the pipeline, which is part of a larger network of gas transmission lines in Oklahoma. The trespass continued even after the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 2010 told the company to reach an agreement or stop using the land.

Seven years later, and 17 years after the original easement expired, Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange finally confirmed that the pipeline has been in trespass on the allotment. In a 10-page decision issued on Tuesday, she ordered Enable Midstream Partners, which took over operations after Enogex, to remove the pipeline within six months.

I am not sure if I will start a separate thread on this lawsuit, but I thought I would share the news here since this thread is relatively about protecting the environment. This lawsuit is youth led, and some of the youth are Native American.
