First thing she's done in ages that I agree with. The situation with the Dakota pipeline is horrifying, even before they set dogs on the protesters.

Same.

Indeed.

Same here.

Did anyone see the letter Green Party members from Russia sent to her about their discomfort over her getting chummy with Putin? That was embarrassing.

Having said that, they would be really dumb to bring these charges against her. But it would be great PR for her. But I do hate that she keeps criticizing Obama for his when his administration was against it.

Nevermind, he gave a total non-answer this morning over it: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4619223/obama-dakota-access-pipeline

I hope he steps in at some point and says NO to this whole mess. I think he has the authority to do that.

Yes, yes, let's press charges against a woman standing with Natives fighting for their right to land & water; meanwhile, in Hillary Clinton land....

*looks at camera*

Good on Stein for standing with them.

Has Hillary commented on this at all?

Nope, and we're not the only ones taking notice:
