Standing Rock Tribe Wins in Court After Years of Perseverance | Earthjustice

A federal judge struck down permits for the Dakota Access Pipeline, even after COVID-19 precautions led to an unconventional day in court.

Tribes and allies gathered to defend Standing Rock Sioux territory from the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016. After years of litigation, a court struck down the pipeline's water permits on March 25, 2020.

Corona Virus Rap: Flatten the Curve: Mach die Kurve flach | MaximNoise - YouTube

Now with embedded subtitles...

Flatten the Curve

Today, stay home under your own roof

Flatten the curve

Between your four walls, whether day or night

Flatten the curve

Don't just think about yourself - pay attention to others. Flatten the curve

Together we're strong; alone we're weak. Flatten the curve.

The sun's shining outside, but I'm staying in today

'Cause I think about others, too, and I'm not egotistic

Because even though I'm healthy, it sadly makes no sense

For me to make things hard for Grandma and Grandpa

So much is unknown about the virus

But it spreads aimlessly across the land, and at the same time, causes fear

So I don't cough on you or reach for your hand

We want to break these chains and slow the whole thing down

Sure, we all had other plans

But we still won't make a scene today

We're getting into quarantine

'Cause we can all meet up when it's over

So why not consider others and save a few lives on the way?

Isolation's no easy situation

But we've got to get through it, so long as viruses threaten us

We want to protect doctors and hospitals;

That's why, today, we're staying right where we live

Come and sing with me:

Today, stay home under your own roof

Flatten the curve

Between your four walls, whether day or night

Flatten the curve

Don't just think about yourself - pay attention to others

Flatten the curve

Together we're strong; alone we're weak

Flatten the curve

I flatten the curve like the paper in my toilet

And if I have no more, I wash my poop off with a rag

It'll be washed well, then hung up to dry

There'll be no trouble started here over a pack of toilet paper

Ay, I flatten the curve like my belly at my morning workout

Full energy; it makes me fit and calms my worries

I drink water, and pay attention to nutrition while I'm at it

And when this whole horrible mess is over, I'll be fit as a fiddle

I flatten the curve, flat at jokes no one laughs at

And finally we come to the things you don't1 have time for

We can learn foreign languages or read a book for once

We can play Playstation and have a good time

I flatten the curve for everyone who wouldn't make it otherwise

For everyone who's too weak, and who the curve would steal forever

'Cause this curve can be the world to someone

Just stay home and you can be a hero

Come and sing with me:

Today, stay home under your own roof

Flatten the curve

Between your four walls, whether day or night

Flatten the curve

Don't just think about yourself - pay attention to others

Flatten the curve

Together we're strong; alone we're weak

Flatten the curve

It's all just so crazy.

But one day we'll be back, stronger than ever

Avoid contact and keep your distance

Today we keep the curve flat, man, yeah

It's all just so crazy.

But one day we'll be back, stronger than ever

Avoid contact and keep your distance

Today we keep the curve flat, man, yeah

Come and sing with me:

Today, stay home under your own roof

Flatten the curve

Between your four walls, whether day or night

Flatten the curve

Don't just think about yourself - pay attention to others

Flatten the curve

Together we're strong; alone we're weak

Flatten the curve

Bernie brings it to the point why he is a much better candidate to solve the issues of our Nation AND better equipped to beat Trump

Bernie brings it to the point why he is a much better candidate to solve the issues of our Nation AND better equipped to beat Trump:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is set to give a news conference at which he is expected to say he will remain in the race despite a widening gap in the delegate...

Bernie Sanders: What I just told the press about our campaign

A short while ago, I gave a brief statement to the press about our campaign, and where we go from here. I want to share some of those thoughts with you today, and to ask you, once again, for your financial support.

If you can do that now, please use this link to contribute $27:

https://act.berniesanders.com/go/forward

Let me start by saying that last night was not a good night for our campaign from a delegate point of view.

We lost the largest state of the night, Michigan, but we won in North Dakota and currently lead in the state of Washington, the second largest state of the evening.

But what has become more and more apparent, with each passing primary, is that while we are currently trailing in the delegate count, we are strongly winning the debate about the future of our country.

In poll after poll after poll, including exit polls, a strong majority of the American people support our progressive agenda.

The American people are deeply concerned about the grotesque levels of income and wealth inequality in this country.

The American people believe it is time for the wealthy and profitable corporations to be paying their fair share.

The American people understand that the federal minimum wage is a starvation wage and that it is time to raise it to a living wage of $15 an hour – nothing less.

The American people understand that if our kids are going to make it into the middle class, we must make public colleges, universities and trade schools tuition free.

The American people understand that we cannot continue a cruel and dysfunctional health care system where we are spending twice as much per capita as any other nation, yet 87 million of our neighbors remain uninsured and underinsured.

And that last point is becoming more and more obvious to the American people as we face the challenge of the coronavirus. Imagine a pandemic where 87 million people have a difficult time going to a doctor.

The American people understand that climate change is an existential threat to our planet and we need to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels.

The American people understand that we need to transform our broken and racist criminal justice and immigration system that locks up four times as many people as communist China and leaves millions here at home living in fear.

But it is not just the ideological debate we are winning.

We are winning the generational debate as well.

While Joe Biden does well with older Americans, especially those over 65 years old, our campaign continues to win a vast majority of younger people in this country.

But while we are winning — very clearly — the ideological debate, we are losing, right now, the electability debate.

I cannot tell you how many people I and our campaign have spoken to that tell me that they like what our campaign stands for but they are going to vote for Joe Biden because they believe he is the best candidate to beat Trump.

Needless to say, I strongly disagree.

So, on Sunday, I very much look forward to debating Joe Biden about these issues in Arizona. This will be the first 1-on-1 debate of this campaign, and I am eager for the American people to see which candidate — which agenda — is best positioned to defeat Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in modern American history.

Thank you for reading, but before you go, I must ask:

Can you make a $27 contribution to our campaign as a way of not only saying we are the best campaign to defeat Trump, but that our agenda is the one this country needs going forward?

Thank you again for everything you have done to support our campaign so far. Let’s go forward together.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
