Trump will wall off Big Bend National Park in TX - one of Americaβs truly wild landscapes - by bulldozing the law. Federal documents show DHS signed waivers stripping away 28 environmental protections to fast-track construction. Clean air, clean water, endangered species sidelined for a border wall.

Texas' Big Bend braces for border wall in national park, worrying local Republicans and Democrats
Locals say the rugged land is enough of a barrier and they're concerned about the impact on the environment and homeowners as the Department of Homeland Security forges ahead.
I want to do my part in raising awareness. Texas's Big Bend is set to receive new border security infrastructure, including >100 mi of border wall cutting through Big Bend National Park. Kristi Noem just waived 28 environmental protection laws and regulations to expedite this construction. π§΅ 1/4

How to stop a dictator
I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.
How To Stop The Dictator
Part 2
In Brazil, South Korea, and Poland, Dictators tried and failed to overthrow Democracy.
The population fought back and won.
What strategies worked?
Why is nonviolence so important?

The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S.

Trumpβs bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power.
Tell your Members of Congress to put an immediate stop to this war.

The Soft Suspension of Habeas Corpus
ICE is ignoring habeas corpus orders so routinely that a federal judge is threatening criminal contempt. New filings from Minnesota show what a de facto suspension of due process looks like.
"And what should be alarming isnβt just whether the Trump administration will try to officially suspend habeas corpus for immigration purposes, itβs whether the Trump administration already is de facto suspending habeas corpus by strategically overwhelming the courts..." substack.com/home/post/p-...

A Good Humor Card made from repurposed food containers, magazines, flyers, glue stick, and markers. On the front it says "It's Here" with a picture of an ICE agent punching through a car window and two illustrated characters holding shields that say "Be One of the Good Ones". One the back it says "Get ready for what comes next. We need to work together, unite. Be the change." Theere is a photo of crowds of people and a QR code that takes you to Boots on the Ground KC.

Kansas pushes more jail time for problematic youth. Research says that will lead to more crime
Legislation sent to the governor allows more children to be locked up and for longer. It also requires new, previously unsuccessful treatment options to be funded.
Kansas foster care agencies, judges and law enforcement are trying to close this gap in state law that sends high needs youth with criminal behaviors to foster care agencies instead of proper treatment programs.
