Coming home from a screening of 'End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock,' Waste Win Young heard that the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled against the water protectors critically injured by violent law enforcement at Backwater Bridge at Standing Rock. Although the court ruled in favor of law enforcement, Waste says it is important to realize the source of real power and keep going for future generations.

The showing of the documentary “End of the Line” in Sewanee, Tennessee was probably the most emotional response I’ve witnessed and felt. A lot of people came up to me afterward and they were visibly crying. One young woman couldn’t talk and I hugged her for a long time. She said that she and her mom had gone camping in North Dakota and drank water from the Missouri River.

Shutting Down the Death Machines -- The New York Times and Weapons Makers

Blockading and Shutting Down The New York Times and Weapons Makers

Over 100 journalists occupied the lobby of the New York Times building, calling out New York Times for complicity in genocide. Deadline News reports that the group was led by a group of media workers called Writers Bloc. Once inside, members of the group read the names of thousands of Palestinians killed in Gaza since the war began. They dropped versions of “The New York War Crimes,” a mock newspaper. The pamphlet accused the media of “complicity in laundering genocide" on Thursday evening.

Zapatistas 'Part Six: Postscript Who Seeks Hoping to Find'

P.S. THAT SAYS WHAT IT SAYS. – As one of the late Sups said: “history repeats itself twice: once as a tragedy and the other time as well.” And this axiom of life comes to the point, because I received a package with a small note. No, it is not from SEGALMEX (those export, they do not import). The package has a postmark from “a distant geography”, in distant Europe. The date is blurred, but on the return address appears: “I am not Don Durito de La Lacandona, do not confuse.

P.S. THAT WARNS. – We were already going to tell you what this whole thing is about, but reading, seeing and listening to the string of atrocities that the «specialists» in everything and knowledgeable in nothing say and write (about supposed withdrawals, dismantlements, advances of organized crime and «returns to the past” – Coletos had to be the majority -), we decided rather to let them continue burping.

Standing Rock -- Federal Appeals Court Rules in Favor of Violent Cops at Backwater Bridge

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, November 8, 2023

Water protectors suffered critical injuries while seeking to halt the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota. However, the federal appeals court ruled against them in the class action, civil rights lawsuit that revealed excessive force by law enforcement.
