When news broke Sunday afternoon that the Dakota Access Pipeline project would not be allowed to move forward with their current plans , shock waves crisscrossed the country (and beyond!) as people rejoiced the decision . Not only a victory for the thousands of Standing Rock protesters who stood their ground night and day against seemingly unbeatable forces, it’s also a glimmer of hope during these dismal days. With so many reasons to celebrate this development, folks took to Twitter to share their reactions to the shocking #NoDAPL decision.
Most folks were overwhelmingly happy and thankful…
Happy NODAPL morning! ❤️✊🏼😊 #NoDAPL

Some are still watching things carefully…
Stay ahead of the hype folks. If there's talk of ETP moving forward, don't let it draw attn. But keep a wary eye out. #NoDAPL

While other folks are still worried about the upcoming sitch…
I get #NoDAPL excitement, but did you all forget what happens January 20th?

#NoDAPL victory shows that peaceful protest works, but we need true revolution in order to stop fascism from rising in America.
