It’s been a big week for Vladimir Putin and Exxon.  (Look, Kanye!)  Who needs to secretly hack computers anymore when you can just pick a homegrown oil oligarch with billions of dollars at stake in Siberia as your Secretary of State?  (Didja see Kanye?)

Where to begin with the Dakota Access Pipeline?  The rubber bullets?  The sound cannons?  The attacking dogs?  The tribal sovereignty, or lack thereof?  (I haven’t even mentioned global warming yet.)  There are so many awful events that have been happening around this pipeline project and the protests against it, it’s hard to keep up.
