A distant selfie of me standing in nearly waist deep water of the middle of the Rio Grande River, with massive canyon walls on either side and clear blue sky overhead. This is Santa Elana Canyon, where the proposed border wall would begin. That would be a travesty. Besides, these canyon walls are their own, natural border wall.

I've been to all 254 TX counties, and Big Bend is the very best of Texas. The stunning, expansive desert landscape still feels untouched. It deserves to stay that way. It breaks my heart thinking about it being needlessly ruined for a f***ing wall. Here's some photos I've taken there. 🧵4/4

Even MAGA Republicans Hate Plans to Put a Border Wall in Big Bend Virtually no one, it seems, thinks a physical barrier in the region is a good idea. The Trump administration is rushing to build one anyway.

DHS is rapidly pushing to wall off Big Bend National Park.

Big Bend's former NPS superintendent says:

“This is the biggest incursion on the integrity of national parks since the construction of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite more than a century ago.”

President Trump wants to build a wall through Big Bend National Park.

One of the most sacred places in Texas.

Texans have a message for him: Come and take it.

Repost the hell out of this.

Exactly!

DC is not a hell hole, Ukraine didn’t start the war, tariffs are taxes, 14-year olds are NOT adults, immigrants are NOT responsible for the ills of the country, and trump is neither a competent nor coherent president.

Just Saying … 🎯 🎯 🎯

Yes. Yes, it does.

You have to be a world-class fuckwit to believe he actually got shot.

So basically, a MAGA voter.

Decimating the Voting Rights Act

Calling for a redo of the census

Gerrymandering in Red States

Trying to make it more difficult to vote by mail…

Keep your eyes and ears open and check YOUR registration status on a regular basis!!!

The blue states should start gerrymandering like the red states do.

People are already calling it the “Epstein Wing.” Sounds appropriate enough.

RW bigotry in form

Rep. Joaquin Castro on Texas floods: "I don't think it's helpful to have missing key personnel from the National Weather Service not in place to help prevent these tragedies."

The Cycle of Fuckery:

1) Republicans pass massive transfer of wealth to the 1%.
2) Middle/working classes screwed.
3) Republicans blame Democrats. News media blames both sides, while scrutinizing Democratic plans to repair the damage.
4) Voters elect more Republicans.
5) Repeat.

Wise up, America.

Vice President Harris and Douglas Emhoff watch fireworks at the White House on July 4, 2024.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.

But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

Listen to AOC. Repost ad infinitum. Call your Representative (202-224-3121).

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me 13k times-I’m a Trump supporter

People will lose their healthcare if Trump's budget bill passes. One estimate found that proposed cuts to Medicaid could result in more than 16,000 preventable deaths annually.

This from the "pro life" party.

Reminder that 202-224-3121 is the number for the Capitol switchboard.

Why you think Trump Pardoned all the Jan6 leaders? To form his Militia to do ICE snatch and beat

Every accusation is a confession

First he chopped down Jackie’s trees, now he’s paving over the lawn she put in place.
It’s called the Rose “Garden”, not the Rose “patio”, you Hobby Lobby clearance rack reject.
