Pictures Of The Day: Resist




A group of several Greenpeace activists climbed a construction crane this morning at 15th and L Streets, just blocks from the White House, and unfurled a large banner with the word "Resist" on it.

Just in the past 24 hours, con-man-in-chief and serial liar Donald "Rump" Trump approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipeline projects that will transport liquified oil shale -- perhaps the dirtiest of carbon products -- across the U.S. to the Gulf coast where it will be processed and shipped to global oil markets. Along with the nomination of climate change denier Scott Pruitt to be EPA administrator and a media blackout of EPA demanded by Rump, "Resist" will be an imperative.
