Just volunteered with the Engin program as an English language chat-partner/tutor for a Ukrainian student. 😀 If you want to help Ukraine but can't offer money, chatting with a student for an hour per week is an easy way to have a direct, positive impact!

This past weekend, protesters gathered in canoes to speak out against plans to build a wall through parts of the Big Bend region. https://t.co/feeCOU6B71

[chris de ville @devillechris]

@JamieMicVizsla @jared_shult Folks opposed to the wall don’t feel that way because they’re America-hating libtards (as FoxNews portrays them). Actually, the opposition understands the data, which clearly indicates that if the goal is to reduce illegal entry, a wall in the remote desert is an idiotic strategy

[chris de ville @devillechris]

@JamieMicVizsla @jared_shult -40% of illegal entry is done by simply buying a plane ticket and not leaving when ones tourist/work visa expires. If you spend 1.2 Billion on wall to stop the ~1% who cross here (and mostly get apprehended anyway), at best you’d see a 1% uptick in other, easier ways of crossing.

[chris de ville @devillechris]

@JamieMicVizsla @jared_shult But your fictitious 100,000 sure sounds more compelling (to folks who don’t do any research whatsoever). Read a book before unleashing ignorant hot-takes, bruh.

[chris de ville @devillechris]

@JamieMicVizsla @jared_shult The entire, vast Big Bend Sector accounts for 1.3% of border crossings, according to CPB’s own data. Just over 3000 people in 2025. The sheriffs and Border Patrol have the sector fully under control, and they (as well as area residents) say a wall here is a horrible idea.

[chris de ville @devillechris]

@PrimeBeef45 @RyanChandlerTV @WestTxStringer $1.2 Billion for a wall where only 1.3% of crossings happen is not a wise way to spend America’s security budget. The tough-as-hell sheriffs of the five counties along the Big Bend think so too. Go tell them that their opinions are based on “feels”. I dare ya.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This week alone, Russia used more than 3,000 strike drones against our cities and communities – a significant portion of them “shaheds” – as well as over 1,450 guided aerial bombs and 40 missiles of various types. The Russians are not dialing back their war effort against our state and our people, and at the same time, they are openly investing in prolonging another war that is driving global destabilization.

Ukraine is being attacked with essentially the same strike drones as those used against countries in the Middle East and the Gulf region. Ballistic weapons are used against us just as cynically as they are against our partners. The destabilization of global markets and the blocking of maritime routes have not left a single country unaffected. We are making our contribution to guaranteeing security.

And it is important that the world does not lose time or opportunities. Clear, decisive, and coordinated efforts are needed to provide real protection for life and to stop wars. We need to build joint and modern defense systems proven in war. We must develop joint production of modern and effective weapons. We must unite our capabilities so that people can live in peace in Europe, the Middle East, and other parts of the world.

Thank you to everyone who is helping us protect lives!

@dynamohum3 @LaikenJordahl How many people is well documented; it’s a negligible 1.3% of southern US border crossings. In 2025 CPB reported 3,096 apprehensions in the Big Bend region out of 273,538 total on the sourhwest border:

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

@MidCentMondern 1.3 % of border crossings happen in this vast region. 2025 data shows a statistically negligible 3096 apprehensions.

The Candelaria wetlands, a stunning oasis in the desert. In June 2026, Trump will start building a 30ft steel wall from El Paso to the Big Bend parks (150 miles) right through this wetland. There will be NO environmental review (Trump eliminated 28 environmental regulations)

[chris de ville @devillechris]

Yesterday we learned that they’re backing off on plans for a steel walls through Big Bend Ranch State Park (yay!), however they are still moving ahead with plans for a steel wall that will ravage the wetlands, and various border towns (Redford, Presidio, etc). Keep up the fight!
