Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Shot in Austin. Taken into ICE custody with a bullet still in his back. His family kept in the dark, and his lawyer prevented from checking on his condition. The Constitution is clear on who due process protects: any person. Not citizens only. Any person. Settled law.

Big Bend belongs to all of us and to the generations who come after us. Destroying protected land for a border wall is irreversible, irresponsible, and deeply disturbing. Once these landscapes and habitats are gone, we don't get them back.

Bulldozers Move Into Big Bend National Park for Border Crackdown
The Trump administration has moved heavy-duty construction equipment into Big Bend National Park and started work on a border security project despite bipartisan concern about damage to the environmentally sensitive area of West Texas.

People aren't asking for luxury. They're asking for groceries they can afford, food that's safe to eat, and a full-time job that actually pays the bills.

It Wasn’t a ‘Civil War.’ It Was the Slaveholders’ Rebellion. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/o... gift link
Rebranding rebellion is nothing new. Americans take it for granted that the war between the Confederate states and the Union was always called the Civil War, but it was not. During the war and in its aftermath, it was primarily called an “insurrection” or a “rebellion.” Its current name is a result of decades of lobbying by Confederate heritage groups and white Southerners committed to rejuvenating the South’s image and ignoring its treason and slaveholding.

As Mr. Trump and his allies try to whitewash the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, we should return to an older and far more accurate name for the Civil War. We should once again call it the Slaveholders’ Rebellion. If a country unquestioningly adopts language that obscures its bloodiest crimes to absolve their worst perpetrators, how can we expect successive generations to remember the new assaults on democracy without de

The Democrats should be well positioned to make gains in this year’s midterms. But inside party headquarters, every week brings paranoia, worries about money and, on occasion, emotional eruptions.

I think the reason the Reflecting Pool is getting so much reaction is because it's a tangible metaphor for all the failures of this regime. It's a physical manifestation of toxicity, vanity, cost, error, and assigning blame.
