Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump has wasted no time trying to get the controversial and dangerous Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone XL Pipeline projects underway, having signed orders earlier today to push forward with the construction of both. But in response, a massive spontaneous protest has broken out in front of the White House.

Ben Cushing from the Sierra Club, a leading environmental and conservation organization, tweeted the following photo of the protesters outside the White House:

Cushing says they’re chanting “We will not go away, welcome to your fourth day!” at Donald Trump. He’s pegging the number of protesters in the thousands. Donate to the Sierra Club here.
