Amy Goodman of Democracy Now speaks about independent media as a sanctuary of dissent -- "the thing that will save us."
Goodman speaks of the Water Protectors of Standing Rock, and the militarized police who brutalized them.
"They unleashed dogs on the Water Protectors ... but still they stood their ground."
