BREAKING: Enbridge’s aging Line 5 pipeline is spilling natural gas liquids in northern Wisconsin. The rupture occurred just east of the Bad River Reservation near Lake Superior on August 25, 2026. According to Enbridge, an unoccupied semi-truck rolled into an excavation site and struck the pipeline.

On October 29 @USACEHQ approved Enbridge's plans to reroute the aging Line 5 oil pipeline, a move that would put wetlands and fragile Great Lakes ecosystems in harms way.  ictnews.org/news/army-corps-approve…
OWDM Responds to U.S. Army Corps Approval of Line 5 Reroute in Wisconsin. Tribal sovereignty and treaty rights remain under threatWhile the reroute proposal may remove a portion of the pipeline from tribal lands, the permit fails to address the broader problem: this decision allows continued potential impacts on Bad River Band lands and reliance on a decades-old pipeline carrying millions of gallons of crude oil and natural-gas liquids daily through sensitive ecosystems in the Great Lakes Basin. It signals a troubling pattern of fast-tracked fossil-fuel infrastructure approvals that prioritize corporate interests...
