 So I want to get to this article. This is from Jessica Corbett of Common Dreams and I mean the title and the subtitle kind of state all Horrible and unconscionable betrayal. Biden DOJ backs Trump Line 3 approval Quote you are siding with a handful of corrupt corporate elites over Honoring treaty rights climate water the future of life on earth. This is kind of the same story that we've seen Time and again when it comes to these oil pipelines, you know them impeding on the territorial sovereignty of indigenous tribes It posing a threat to the water supply It's it's the same story again rinse and repeat, you know, we get one pipeline defeated and another one pops up It's like whack-a-mole Well, let's read this here indigenous and and environmental activists fighting against the line 3 tar sands pipeline We're outraged Thursday after the Biden administration filed a legal brief backing the federal government's 2020 approval of the project under former president Donald Trump now for those of you who missed it I did a video talking about Merrick Garland. He is the head of the DOJ obviously and Any bad legal precedent set by the Trump administration like Merrick Garland is upholding So this is not surprising if you know anything about Merrick Garland But I'll be quiet and we'll read the rest here critics of the project which Canadian energy giant and bridge has undertaken to replace an aging oil Pipeline blasted the US Department of Justice's late Wednesday filing as a betrayal of President Joe Biden's pledges to address the climate emergency and respect tribal rights White a White House that is serious about protecting communities needs to start by listening to communities when they say they don't want oil Pipeline threatening their water and land Said Janet Redman Greenpeace USA climate campaign director backing and bridges line 3 tar sands oil pipeline is a massive failure for president that campaigned on tackling the climate crisis and it's a betrayal of what of what he promised the American people I Mean listen when we have so little time left to actually address climate change in a meaningful way if we want to stop catastrophic levels of climate change These oil pipelines they can't keep popping up We have to actually get serious about moving away From oil like we've got to get off of oil, which is why when we're talking about infrastructure There's such a huge emphasis being placed on investing in clean green renewable technology We have to change the way that we power the United States of America and And we're not making much progress or it feels like it, right? I mean rhetorically speaking people say the right things Joe Biden said the right things although not enough But he's his actions indicate that he's not serious Benjamin Golov a campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity accused Biden of siding with the handful of corrupt corporate elites Over honoring a treaty rights climate water in the future of life on earth Absolutely horrible and unconscionable betrayal POTUS you are siding with a handful of corrupt corporate elites over honoring treaty rights So this is a racist pipeline project forced down the throats of our people an ecological time bomb and to give away to a Canadian multinational oil interest said Winona LaDuke executive director of the indigenous environmental group are the earth in a statement Thursday if the president is Genuine and is pledged to take climate change and tribal rights Seriously, his administration must stop defending the Trump administration's decision and undertake a genuine analysis of line threes environmental and human impacts she asserted and this is a reference to the Trump administration basically they Would and this is a bit of an oversimplification they would Rubber stamp Everything they'd say. Oh, well, you know this this minimal climate review this climate impact review that we conducted It's good enough when the actuality is not comprehensive. It's not thorough. It doesn't actually do anything to Try to gauge the level of damage that this would cause with a threat that these pipelines pose to the water supply Of indigenous tribes of people in the nearby area. It's just all around I mean, it is a betrayal and I think that people are right to be angry here So I just want to get to the tweets here for the reaction So resist line three says the Biden administration Has just signaled that it does not intend to meet its commitments to climate change on racial justice or racial justice This is why we need a mass movement to stop line three We must force them to see us protect the water and honor the treaties and again like it shouldn't be the case that every couple of years Indigenous people have to again fight for their territorial sovereignty fight for water rights It's it's so frustrating that you know, we do this every couple of years And as I said like you know not to repeat myself, but it's like whack-a-mole. You defeat one pipeline another one pops up This reads like a copy-paste from the Dakota access pipeline struggle dismissing tribal cultural resources and inadequate environments review as tribes demand a full EIS Environmental impact survey is I believe what that acronym stands for the stop line three ground fight moves into human rights crisis still no dapple Yeah So that's basically The short story this article is relatively long So I'd encourage people to read this article, but also there's more Details about the pipeline specifically the impact that it could potentially have that I would encourage you to look at but yeah This is a betrayal by the Biden administration not necessarily because he said anything in particular about this Pipeline but because he said he was serious about climate change now We all know that his climate change plan wasn't as comprehensive as Bernie Sanders I mean he started off bad. He then adopted Jay Inslee and Elements from Elizabeth Warren's plan still not as good as Bernie Sanders, but I mean That's neither here nor there it's a betrayal and I don't think we have to really Say much more about it than that. So yeah, I think that there there needs to be a concerted effort to defeat this We need all hands on deck and um, yeah
