Every war is paid for by the people who fought it. Florida is home to 1.5 million veterans, and they deserve more than speeches and empty promises to care. Our veterans kept their promise. It’s time we keep ours, on time and without excuses. #AngieForFlorida

In Donald Trump’s latest fascist outrage, ICE agents swarmed the Minnesota Democrat’s DC house, the whole thing reported by Fox. In Kansas, the president tried to stop a senator from self-destructing.

"Most nations avoid public executions for the pretty obvious reason that turning a person’s death into propaganda is an assault on human dignity. It creates perverse incentives for jackals like Hegseth to target individuals for spectacular acts of violence in the name of self-aggrandizement."

NEW: Tohono O'odham Nation leadership issued a release announcing that they’ve filed an emergency injunction after been informed by CBP that “it intends to remove thousands of Saguaros and other vegetation,” on sovereign tribal lands. The destruction is set to begin on Indigenous Peoples Day.

BORDER WALL CONTRACTORS TO START REMOVING SACRED SAGUAROS ON 

MONDAY, OCTOBER 12

Nation Files Emergency Injunction with the Circuit Court of Appeals

SELLS, Ariz. - The Tohono O'odham Nation has been informed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that it intends to remove thousands of Saguaros and other vegetation in its misguided efforts to construct a border wall. On Monday, Oct. 12, federal contractors will begin ripping out these protected plants that have lived in the Sonoran Desert for thousands of years. The fact that this desecration will take place on Indigenous Peoples' Day is disrespectful to all tribal nations.

In addition, earlier this week the Tohono O'odham Nation filed an emergency injunction with the Washington, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to stop DHS from removing thousands of sacred saguaros on Tohono O'odham land. Nation leadership is demanding that the courts put a stop to this lawless behavior that has already caused irreparable damage to our environment and cultural heritage, all in the name of constructing a costly and ineffective border wall. Known as ha:sañ, saguaros are symbols of the Tohono O'odham shared faith, serving as spiritual monuments to customs and values. The removal of any saguaro is an act of atrocity, as they are considered people by the Tohono O'odham."Trespassing on our land to remove the sacred saguaros is like having masked men break into your house and take away your children," said Tohono O'odham Nation Chairman Verlon Jose. "The ha:șañ are our family, as much a part of us as any blood relative. To destroy them by the thousands carves a wound in our hearts that will not heal. We call on all people for solidarity as we work to protect our culture and our land from this useless, destructive wall."

The mighty saguaro not only stands as an O'odham and American icon, it is also a critical part of our ecosystem, providing shelter, sustenance, and deep cultural significance. The saguaro, in Tohono O'odham custom, is akin to a person and any malicious action against one is as if harm is being done to our people. This belief is memorialized in Resolution 21-137 by the Tohono O'odham Legislative Council.

"This is a violation of our sovereignty, of our religious liberty, and of our land," said Chairman Jose. "The Nation will continue to fight to prevent this senseless devastation from going forward and we are grateful for the overwhelming community support we have received."

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.
