HUGE UPDATE: we halted Amazon's panel at Climate Week. We shut it down so hard that every guest and every speaker had to leave the premises. No one was able to return. Their whole event lasted less time than their warehouse workers' pee break.

I'll always remember getting the first Covid shot at Kino stadium parking lot. Hundreds of people lined up. We had to stay in our vehicles. They had a Mariachi playing. I cried after getting it and then I went to the gem show. 😍 #tucson 🌵💉

The amount of trauma inflicted upon just the women of my family (including me) by men is crushing. Extrapolating that to all women is incomprehensible. Triggered by finding out about a horrible assault suffered by one of my closest relatives just now.

Lochiel AZ update on month-long standoff betw land defenders & the forces of greed & hate. The continuous tree-sit is entering 2nd month. A companion sit is in the tree directly south of the border. The casita that has been offered to the crew for no cost has been a godsend. Septic needs help 1/
This joyous scene is happening in the daily in the remaining sylvan spaces. This tiny town has ever been about community, ranching & family.

Homemade flies can be very lovely. These, however, were remarkable. Between 50-70 years old and made by a friend's grandfather. 🎣

Lochiel AZ situation is intensifying. Fisher Sand & Gravel's (Kristi Noem friends) private security are losing their shit & physically threatening our peaceful loving tree sitters. Ceremonies at dawn & throughout the day are stopping the forces of violence & cruelty. A bulldozer crashed. #tucson
Dawn ceremony at the Grandmother Tree today. 11 loving protectors have blocked the border road for peaceful prayers at the foot of the Grandmother Tree. There are traffic cones protecting the humans. The sky is lightening with colors of yellow and orange. A mountain is in the right side of the frame in Mexico. It is very lush with the giving rains of the summer monsoon. The Virgin protecting a life giving well as a huge excavator looms menacingly close by. A construction worker is by the machine of hate.

🚨🚨Tree sit update at Lochiel AZ. Our fierce resisters are holding the line. Sheriff called as folx are preventing excavators from digging near the base of remaining tree. Ground support and documentarians are most welcome! DM me for details @aweiss.bsky.social @90milesfromneedles.com #Tucson
A lone 200+ year old cottonwood survives as she stretches between the US and Mexico. There are several tents in her proximity. A sign reading 'human in tree' is visible. The landscape is green and lush, with the cruel border wall cutting through the migration corridor for animals including jaguar. In the distance are mountains and a looming monsoon storm.
