Breaking: protectors at Ducey’s container wall construction site halted all machines last night. Contractors have shifted to night work to avoid protesters. It’s now an around the clock shut down. Forest Service & DOJ declared construction illegal but are still nowhere to be seen

Breaking: Footage of AZ Gov. Doug Ducey's shipping container border wall being illegally placed on federal land in jaguar critical habitat. If completed 3,000 containers will stretch 10 miles and cost $95 million. That could buy 900,000 school books or 23 million school lunches.

last July, I traveled to southern Arizona during the deadliest time of year for migrants to figure out what was causing a rise in fatalities at the border. it’s not just the desert; it’s surveillance.

Senator Joe Manchin is putting polluter profits ahead of the health and wellbeing of the American people, especially for communities that have long been hit hardest by the devastation of pollution, climate change, and lack of investments in our future. sierraclub.org/press-release…

Good morning, Vietnam! Dear #Texas your gov is bulldozing Bentsen-RGV State Park & stringing concertina wire. Destroying a remnant of native habitat in the birdiest part of the USA.

Today, the Biden administration delayed @SierraClub vs. Trump-- a lawsuit we've been fighting with @ACLU and @SBCCoalition for years, and a sign of hope that the Biden team will not defend Trump's racist, destructive wall.

Border communities united for a new border vision that centers protection of human rights, Tribal sites & the environment.
@POTUS' move to end wall construction with military funds is a great first start, but we must stop all construction & restore these places. #NotAnotherFoot
This is what our frontera looks like when we tell @potus to defund Trump’s wall por que “Si Nos Dejan” we can go on living our beautiful frontera life together where we love our neighbors and we shower each other with love and unity, not hate and division. #NotAnotherFoot

.@DHSgov there was an executive order yesterday, stop the destruction right now.
BREAKING: #BorderWall construction crews at Coronado Memorial are plowing full steam ahead. Instead of demobilizing per yesterday’s @POTUS proclamation, they’re continuing to excavate & bulldoze mountaintops thru critical jaguar habitat. @DHSgov, call off this destruction NOW.

"Walls and border militarization are harmful to local communities and Indigenous tribes who have watched in horror as mountainsides are needlessly dynamited, graves and religious sites bulldozed, and our most beloved landscapes ripped apart."

Continuing to construct the border wall and even more rapidly— destroying lands, water resources and Indigenous sacred sites in the process.

The last minute drastic blows to the environment by the Trump administration are too much for the Twitter character count, but @NatGeo summarizes a lot of it here:

We must listen to the diverse voices of the borderlands that have been ignored for the past four years.
This includes bringing border communities, tribes, environmentalists, and wildlife advocates to the table to craft a border policy that is truly representative of the people.
