“It was an impulse. I was so angry, I just went out into the street,” Asplund told the Guardian. “I was thinking: ‘hell no, they can’t march here!’ I had this adrenaline. No Nazi is going to march here, it’s not okay.”
The paper reported that Asplund stands just 5’2” and weighs about 110 pounds — yet she stood in the path of some 300 marching neo-Nazis, one of whom shoved her out of the way.

fuck off, he was saying Nazi slang in front of a camera and Shia attacked him like a hungry dog. It’s amazing how a lack of intelligence can lead people to believe that antifascism is the bad idea.
He was saying nazi slang and wearing what looks to be a fucking HITLER YOUTH CAP. Shia didn’t PUNCH HIM I think that’s pretty fuckin tolerant you enormous asswipes.
Time to get it into gear. Please read Standing Rock’s statement on President Trump’s reckless and vindictive decision to poison the water of 17 million people.
A pipeline in the western Canadian province of Saskatchewan has leaked 200,000 liters (52,834 gallons) of oil in an aboriginal community, the provincial government said on Monday.
The government was notified late in the afternoon on Friday, and 170,000 liters have since been recovered, said Doug McKnight, assistant deputy minister in the Ministry of the Economy, which regulates pipelines in Saskatchewan.
Oil pipelines are viewed by the oil-rich provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan as a critical lifeline to move crude to the coast, but they have drawn fierce opposition from environmental and indigenous groups.
The spill came seven months after another major incident in Saskatchewan, in which a Husky Energy Inc pipeline leaked 225,000 liters into a major river and cut off the drinking water supply for two cities.
It was not immediately clear how the current incident happened or which company owns the underground pipeline that leaked the oil.
McKnight said Tundra Energy Marketing Inc, which has a line adjacent to the spill, is leading cleanup efforts.
“There are a number of pipes in the area,” he told reporters in Regina. “Until we excavate it, we won’t know with 100-percent certainty which pipe.”
Tundra, a privately held unit of Canadian grain trading and energy conglomerate James Richardson and Sons Ltd, released a statement saying it is cooperating with all levels of government and will ensure “the affected land is restored appropriately.”
The incident happened in the lands of the Ocean Man First Nation 140 km (87 miles) southeast of the provincial capital of Regina, according to the province.
McKnight said the spill has been contained in the low-lying area in which it was discovered. Ocean Man Chief Connie Big Eagle said the spill was 15 meters (50 feet) in diameter on Friday.
Ocean Man has 540 residents, one-third of whom live on the reserve, Big Eagle said.
She said an area resident who had smelled the scent of oil for a week located the spill and alerted her on Friday. The chief said there are no homes near the spill but it is about 400 meters (1,320 feet) from the local cemetery.
“We have got to make sure that Tundra has done everything that they can to get our land back to the way it was. That can take years,” she said. “They have assured me that they follow up and they don’t leave … until we are satisfied.”
if we’re being honest it was black lives matter that really paved the way for all of these recent protests like I hope people as a whole aren’t assuming otherwise
