We just got back from Lochiel on the Arizona-Sonora border, where DHS is demolishing ancient cottonwood trees that are older than the border itself to clear a path for the wall.
People have gathered to sit in the last remaining tree that contractors have targeted. Yesterday, one person was arrested.
These cottonwoods provide crucial habitat for birds and wildlife. I'm told an endangered yellow-billed cuckoo has been frequenting the last tree standing.
We (Center for Biological Diversity) are actively suing DHS for issuing legal waivers that bypass all environmental laws for border wall construction. Because people and wildlife in the borderlands deserve the same protections that exist everywhere else in America.

If you're based on Southern California and can find it in your heart to temporarily house an animal, please consider doing so. Many shelters are overwhelmed with pets as a result of the fire. Contact your local animal shelter to see how you can help.

"'They forced me, basically, to have a child,' she said of the state after the abortion ban. But then, 'they didn’t help me take care of that child.'"
This is an enraging story, and an astonishing feat of reporting and photojournalism.

Do I know anyone looking to adopt kitties? We are fostering a wonderful family of 4 in the Coachella Valley. Mama Shyla is ~2 and the kiddos are 11 months. Please check out my recent Insta posts for lots more pictures and details: https://t.co/0PLME0jXv2
These 4 have been together a year, and really love each other. Any pairing would work great with these kitties and we’d love to see them adopted in pairs! We're fostering for Forever Meow (not on Twitter) and they do provide transport—SoCal and possibly beyond...
