Resistors report arrests and injuries, including being pushed into barbed wire. CBP confirmed that all four cottonwoods marked for removal there are now gone. Centuries of life destroyed for two parallel walls cutting through the borderlands. We’re heartbroken and we’re angry!

For more than 70 days, resistors took turns sitting in the branches of the “Grandmother” cottonwood in Lochiel, Arizona, trying to save it and the habitat around it. This morning, Border Patrol raided their camp, removed the tree sitter, and contractors knocked it down.

A lot of what’s happening doesn’t seem to be spreading anymore by mainstream media. A tree that stood for an estimated 150–250 years was destroyed today to make way for Trump’s border wall.

What a concept is right. IMHO, it's time for the old guards to retire. The polite and courteous old school politics are a thing of the past. Bringing strongly worded letters/statements to a gunfight clearly accomplishes nothing.🙄

. The people of the original 13 states of the USA were fearful of a hateful demagogue rising one day to rule over them. They invented a Congress and Judiciary to check gross overreach of a tyrannical criminal Executive. In cowardice and self-interest, both have abandoned that sacred role. .

Mathematician & NASA human computer Katherine Johnson was born #OTD in 1918. She was instrumental in the success of the first US manned spaceflights, calculating complex trajectories enabling humans to reach orbit & land on the moon. Her story was told in Hidden Figures (book/movie). #WomenInSTEM
A split-image portrait of Katherine Johnson, the pioneering Black NASA mathematician: On the left, a black-and-white historical photo from her NASA career in the 1960s shows a smiling middle-aged woman wearing cat-eye glasses and a light-colored dress with white collar and trim, seated at her desk with a globe and papers in the background. On the right, a color photo from 2015 depicts an elderly Katherine Johnson (in her late 90s) seated in a wheelchair during the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, wearing glasses, a dark suit jacket, an orange top, a blue ribbon with the medal, and holding a green item in her lap, as she looks directly at the viewer with a gentle expression. The side-by-side images contrast her youthful professional life with her honored later years.
