Border wall contractors have destroyed three ancient Fremont cottonwoods in Lochiel, Arizona, to clear the way for the border wall. One tree remains—and activists have established the first tree sit opposing border wall construction. Kate Scott joins Chris Clarke from the protest camp at Lochiel.

Apparently the White House wants this photo tossed in the memory hole because Karoline Leavitt finds it unflattering. Ms. Leavitt, it’s not the *photo* that makes you look bad.

Standing with a "honk if you oppose fascism" sign in downtown Twentynine Palms yesterday, an SUV with some MAGA types rolled by. Dude riding shotgun looked at me and said "get a fucking life." Oh, sweetie. If only you knew how much happier and more fulfilled you'd be if you had my life.

Charlie Kirk woke up every day and made a conscious decision to be the Charlie Kirk we all saw. That’s the meanest thing I can think of to say about pretty much anyone, and it also happens to be completely true. We can remember what he did, and we can remember who he did it to.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

This is our boy Jack. He's about 110 pounds these days, all muscle and bone and tooth. He's mostly GSD with one great grandparent that was a Belgian shepherd, and another that was a Vlcak. And he's every bit as much a dire wolf as the slightly edited Gray wolves Colossal is flogging.

Just to show how frivolously he regards his illegal actions harming millions of people, Musk named his agency so that its acronym references an obsolete Internet meme. We therefore propose we start referring to it as the "Government Office for Administrative Transition, Streamlining & Efficiency."

Screenshot of article with excerpt reading: "That’s why The Intercept is publishing Musk’s government email address.

According to a source, Musk has been assigned the email address erm71@who.eop.gov. The email address reflects his attachment to the White House Office, the Executive Office of the President, and, apparently, Musk’s full initials plus his birth year, 1971. This differs from the standard format for EOP emails, which typically include the staffer’s full first and last name.

The Intercept has already filed more than a dozen FOIA requests for Musk’s emails using this information."
