Few things about DAPL if you haven’t heard
Army Engineers said no to a permit. Doesn’t mean that DAPL can’t keep drilling and just pay the fines. 50K a day in fines is nothing for a company like them to brush off.
They could literally just wait, and lose money of course, until Trump gets into office and streamlines the project. He could just use the Federal government’s powers over interstate commerce to get it put through.
This is part of a colonial frontier war against the original peoples and the land
Celebrate a victory but don’t fall for the State’s trick. This is far from over.
“Yet even as men and women began drumming and dancing around the fire, many Native Americans were unconvinced that Sunday’s news was the end.
“It’s not over. It’s never over,” said a Standing Rock member who gave his name as Ghost. “They say one thing and do another.”

just imo but saying that someone is “white passing” as if it’s a description of their appearance (much less a description of their appearance that any one person on the internet can judge, like a lot of weirdos on here try to do) is a misframing of the issue
“white passing” is not a description of appearance per se but rather a description of how someone moves through the world based on how the people around them perceive their appearance. that is, it doesn’t describe an appearance, but rather an experience or set of experiences
& that change in framing (from appearance to experience) is conceptually important bc it brings to the fore the issues that are really at stake when we talk about passing for white, & the differences in lived experience that the term “white passing” is meant to describe. the determiner of whether someone passes for white is not any one person’s judgement of their appearance, but rather, whether or not they actually pass for white!–that is, whether or not they move through the world, in their daily life, as if they are white among people who aren’t in the know
& this is especially relevant given the potentially culture- or location-dependent nature of passing for white (or not)–different potentially racialised features may be more or less marked depending upon how culturally visible members of a specific race are in a specific sociopolitical / geographical context
