Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is among a group of environmentalists demonstrating their civil disobedience today outside the White House. The protesters are raging chiefly against the Keystone Pipeline, joining hands to make bold statements. Or something like that:

No doubt Kennedy is passionately against the Keystone Pipeline. But evidently, today’s demonstration affords him an opportunity to fry even bigger environmental fish. So, he has gleefully handcuffed himself to the White House gate in order to prove just how thuper-therial he is about climate change awareness:
