Not only do governments plan to kill the young, but they argue in court that they should be allowed to. Successfully. This is why we rebel. abc.net.au/news/2022-03-1…

Three counties in Arizona that overlap with the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation went for Biden 97%. On precincts on the Tohono O’odham Nation, Biden won by up to 98%. hcn.org/articles/indig…

Sorry I'm still thinking about what conservatives' response would be if there were tapes of Michelle Obama saying "fuck Christmas"

Contractors are now plowing into Arizona's wildly rugged Guadalupe Canyon, literally moving mountains to build the #BorderWall. It's the most expensive stretch of wall ever built--4.7 miles for $525 million. That's $112 million per mile of stunning wilderness destroyed.

The Trump administration has decimated the Coronado National Memorial for the #BorderWall. This stunning National Park unit, home to the Arizona Trail & one of the most spectacular views in the region, now looks like a mountaintop removal operation. This is a national disgrace.

Trump has never respected the voices of Native Americans while he destroys their land and sacred sites to build his ridiculous border wall. It's time for us to listen to those who've been in Arizona since time immemorial. #NoBorderWall ow.ly/bsBf50BdBsr

Things are getting really weird. They will get weirder. The task is to keep human warmth while the knitted interconnected illusions of fragmented belonging fry. Walk barefoot into the forest. Drink water from your cupped palms. Wrap your arms around a crying child. #WarmData

We’re a country that changed our laws and way of life because two dozen or so idiot sociopaths hijacked down planes in a one time only event. We became a nation of cowards. And We invade Iraq. And We ‘fight terror’. And all we had to do was armor the cockpit doors. Done and done

THREAD: Deep within Arizona’s Sonoran Desert and less than 100 yards from the international border, Quitobaquito Springs has been part of the Native O’odham People’s ancestral lands and a sacred ceremonial site for thousands of years. 🌿

Heartbreaking news: wall construction is now blasting into the stunning, rugged terrain of Guadalupe Canyon in the Peloncio Mts. This absurd stretch of wall threatens to seal off what’s likely the best remaining jaguar corridor between Arizona and Sonora.

The Trump administration is turning Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument into a cactus graveyard. Ancient saguaros, O’odham sacred sites & endangered wildlife are just a few of the casualties as we watch the #BorderWall rip through the heart of the Sonoran Desert.

@NoraBateson Or when people think about “connecting “ with nature.

When people think about mimicking nature, how do they know they are actually perceiving "nature" & not their own illusions of it?

NEW: horrifying footage of #BorderWall construction blasting through the Huachuca Mountains & Coronado National Memorial. This section of wall will sever a critical wildlife corridor for jaguars and ocelots & destroy the stunning southern terminus of the 800-mile Arizona Trail.

They have compiled more than 400 videos—documentary evidence of the law and order of brutal policing in the United States of America. slate.com/news-and-polit…

If you worked for this administration you are complicit in what happened on Monday. If you work for Fox News you are complicit. If you voted against removal in the Senate trial you are complicit. If you vote for Trump in Nov. you are complicit. You should be shamed and shunned.
