Tar sands activists in several states have been getting visits from the FBI, and no one knows yet exactly why.

Federal agents have been contacting activists who have participated in anti-Keystone XL and anti-tar sands protests, according to the Canadian Press. The visits have been happening to activists in Oregon, Washington state, and Idaho, and a lawyer working with the activists told the Canadian Press that he has advised them not to talk to the agents.

“It’s always the same line: ‘We’re not doing criminal investigations, you’re not accused of any crime. But we’re trying to learn more about the movement,'” he said.

The agents have reportedly been targeting activists who have protested “megaloads,” a truckload of tar sands extraction equipment that can be longer than a football field and can take up two lanes of a highway. These protests have blocked highways and delayed the equipment’s shipment.

6. I'd just assume that they still do.

Likely a much safer assumption than they do not .

Do you think I should serve something like chips & guac, or is something in the pastry line more in order?
