383,000. That’s how many gallons of crude oil just spilled out of the Keystone Pipeline & into the wetlands of N Dakota. When we protested at Standing Rock, Big Oil minimized the threat of spills. Enough. We cannot gamble with our precious water resources.

Is the argument that running these shipments by oil tanker is a better option? Would a spill of 383,000 gallons into the Atlantic have been a more desirable outcome?

Even if we stopped using gasoline powered stuff tomorrow, plastics and all sorts of other crucial shit are refined from crude oil. As such, the oil has enough intrinsic value that it WILL get to refineries, whether it flows through a pipeline or in an exhaust spewing fleet of oil tankers.

Only in your narrow context. .07% of oil is used in plastic far better than 100 million cars. We now have cheaper and better way to go from point a to b. We don't want or need tar sands. They are no longer a cheaper find they must die. Green new deal. The new way forward. We will wrap your fleet or tankers and use that steel to build electric motors.

Water rights protesters have been kill to bring this to your attention that is the truth if our president had real guts he would pardon all the folks still facing trial and remove those convictions and get off the Canadian dick and close that filthy Tar pipeline today. Instead of prosicuting protesters and killing them for fun an profit. I love this woman. Speaking truth is so much better. One more point they told us this couldn't happen. Womp womp

I overheard someone the other day saying that they didn't trust Tulsi because ... "russia" and I wanted to butt in and ask them what specifically made her untrustworthy: Being in the u.s. military, Being in the u.s. congress, Standing with Native American Tribes in times of trouble, Standing with The American People in times of corporate takeover ... corporate / c. i. a. media is fucking up many minds

I am no fan of the u.s. military or congress but it says a lot about Tulsi that she is one of the few people in those arenas standing up and speaking the truth!
