The U.S. Forest Service announced Monday they are closing public access to border wall construction projects across Southern Arizona, warning that people who violate the order could face a $5,000 fine, and up to six months in prison. www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report...

🌧️ Albuquerque has picked up 4.51" of rain this month, most in just the last 14 days! It's now the wettest September on record, the 2nd wettest month ever, and the wettest month since 1905. This is also more than half of our average annual rainfall! #NMwx

1. The Senate "permitting reform" bill will (likely) be released this week. 2. It is a data center & energy development bill, not a climate bill. 3. It will erode bedrock environmental safeguards—in particular the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act.

I promise you it takes mere seconds to add alt text for people who need it so they can read important things like this.

AOC: That's why they are going after every man, woman, and child... Because the CEO of Geo Group and the CEO of CoreCivic— they've got profits at the end of the quarter to post.

And if you think I'm not telling the truth, just look at the Republican members of Congress that like to invest in those stocks right before they authorize funding for ICE.

They're all on the take.

ICE is a new agency, created in the surveillance-state establishment after 9/11. ICE is Palantir. ICE is AI. ICE is facial recognition. ICE is surveillance. And ICE is coming after you, regardless of your status.

Long-standing, effective rules aren't being overturned to "simplify" anything. They're being overturned because Trump's nihilists want chaos in our backcountry as the reduced Forest Service will be wholly unable to manage the insanity of this rule change with ATVs crashing down narrow hiking trails.

Trump wants to open nearly all national forest trails to dirt bikes and ATVs

The Forest Service is proposing to allow motorized vehicles on all trails, two-tracks, and roads unless it explicitly designates otherwise.
