xpost, well I'll keep checking in case someone posts a link to an article summarizing the situation! Can't wait.

That summary could be pretty long, since there are a lot of facets to the story.

That Vox summary had the look and feel of something tossed together in about an hour. Its facts were factual enough, but woefully insufficient to arrive at any understanding of the situation at all. It didn't even connect the few facts it contained in a particularly coherent sequence.

If they say anything they haven't already said, I'd be surprised. This is more likely to be just another excuse for grandstanding in front of the media.

sick of these idiots. let them have the outpost, keep the roads blocked and the power & water off and just wait it out. eventually they'll exit the standoff and enter custody.

the roads to the wildlife refuge are still open to anyone coming or going. if those guys had any money, they could order a dozen pizzas every night to be delivered.
