Celebrities push Biden to oppose controversial Minnesota pipeline

The Hill  "Celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry and Mark Ruffalo are trying to push the Biden administration to oppose the controversial Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota, highlighting concerns about Indigenous rights and climate change."

“Construction of the project is an unfolding human rights crisis. Operating it over its lifetime would significantly exacerbate the climate crisis. It fails any reasonable test of climate justice,” reads a Wednesday letter, which was signed by a total of 200 people, including Jane Fonda, Amy Schumer, Orlando Bloom, Danny Glover, Joaquin Phoenix and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer

"Enbridge's Line 3 vessel has spurred significant protests, as well as court challenges. 

"Its opponents say the project will negatively impact land and water where tribes hunt, fish and gather wild rice. Many have also objected to the fact that it would carry carbon-intensive tar sands oil from Canada. 

"In a press conference on Wednesday, Ruffalo argued that Biden should try to put a stop to the pipeline for the communities that came out to vote for him." . . .

Rosanna Arquette: I Will Kneel in Protest of National Anthem, U.S. Flag ‘For the Rest of My Life’  ..."In 2019, Arquette said she would no longer stand for the U.S. flag. She also apologized for being born white, saying she’s ashamed of the privilege she believes her skin brings.

"Arquette has smeared Republicans as bigots in recent months, claiming that the GOP is the “Nazi Party” and that the “R” in “Republican” stands for “racist."....
