Will a Tar Sands Pipeline Become a Covid Super Spreader?
Minnesota boasts about being The Land of 10,000 Lakes. Yet somehow the Walz administration has issued the water quality permit necessary to build a 337 mile long tar sands pipeline, Line 3, across the entire northern breadth of the state, which is also known as, yes, Lake Country. Science tells us that any new tar sands pipeline is a disaster for the climate. Common sense and history tells us that a tar sands pipeline, especially in Lake Country Minnesota, will also be a clean water disaster at some point.
But this article is primarily about Line 3 and Covid. Minnesota currently has the fifth highest infection rate in the country. It has the highest infection rate of any state whose governor isn’t a Republican, even though Gov. Walz is constantly voicing concern about spreading the disease. He tweets about a “Dial Back To Save Lives” campaign that calls on Minnesotans to hit pause on a number of activities because, he says, the virus is like wildfire. His twitter header features a masked face and a “Mask Up Minnesota” message along with “StaySafeMN”. He tweets #DialBackMN. But he doesn’t tweet #DialBackLine3. And he should....

The Canadian oil giant Enbridge is "funding and incentivizing" Minnesota police to crack down on its (mostly female) opponents. Here's what it looks like.

"The level of brutality that was unleashed on us was very extreme," Houska, who said she was shot by police with rubber-coated steel bullets before being hospitalized and jailed, told Democracy Now! Wednesday.
"People were shot in their faces, in their bodies, in their upper torsos," she said. "I saw a young woman's head get split open right in front of me. It was a really, really brutal scene. And the arrests in person were also quite brutal, throwing people face down in the dirt and being extremely violent."
