"North Dakota has -- you know, I've said it many times. North Dakota has lost its mind. I'm a mom, and I'm a teacher. And yet I can tell you dog breeds that have attacked me. I know the difference between tear gas, CS gas and pepper spray, and the difference in the way that those feel. I know how to spot infiltrators and agent provocateurs. You know, I know these things. I'm just a mom, you know, in the Dakotas."

"Prayerful song eerily served as a backdrop for what constituted a military raid of land unceded to the U.S. government in treaties from 1851 and 1868. - In a livestream taken a slight distance from camp, U.R. explained a Bearcat armored vehicle on scene was likely the same from which an officer in a gun turret fired an alleged explosive device at Sophia Wilansky, ripping her arm to shreds on November 20, during a police offensive."

But the full story of how one of the most junior officers in the U.S. embassy in San Salvador tracked down the killers has never been told. It is the tale of an improbable bond between a Salvadoran soldier with a guilty conscience and a young American diplomat with a moral conscience. Different as they were, both men shared a willingness to risk their lives in the name of justice."

seems that I'm blocked from some international news sites at the moment,

but not all - 

the fact that a Sufi shrine was targeted today while I was putting some thoughts down on paper makes me feel sick to my stomach - numbness in extremities- ringing in my ears - going to burn as many candles as I can today - read and write as much poetry as I can today - draw until I run out of ink today- play guitar and dance alone to the sounds of the birds above - skipping the standard meals today.

Not to imply that a personal fast will change the pain people are experiencing a great distance away - or that tea lights can erase individual trauma or bring people back to the realm that they were pre-maturely torn from - but I don't need the nutrients right now- and I can't handle knowing how many people in the world are dying because of greed ignorance fear and lies.

"Last Wednesday, Monet was arrested near Cannon Ball, North Dakota. She was interviewing water protectors who were setting up a new camp near the Dakota Access pipeline route on treaty lands of the Great Sioux Nation. Law enforcement from Morton County surrounded the camp and captured everyone within the circle. A press release from the sheriff’s Department puts it this way: “Approximately 76 members of a rogue group of protestors were arrested.”  Most were charged with criminal trespassing and inciting a riot."

"The tower is part of the $700 million Arizona Border Surveillance Technology Plan, a decade-long deployment of cutting-edge gadgetry, from infrared cameras and heat sensors to radar that detects low-flying, ultra-light planes used to ferry drugs from Mexico. In total, the federal government intends to build 52 of these Integrated Fixed Towers along the Arizona-Mexico border, with 15 slated for the Tohono O’odham Nation. Customs and Border Protection recently awarded a $145 million construction contract to the American subsidiary of Israeli defense-industry giant Elbit Systems to construct the towers. Elbit is best known for its precision surveillance equipment — an expertise honed on the tense borderland between Israel and the Palestinian territories."
