Texas Gov Abbott has installed circular saws between the Rio Grande border buoys to maim or kill anyone who attempts to climb over. Two bodies have already been found trapped in the floating barrier. He wants more migrants to die.

Truly, literally, every single business in rural Terlingua, TX is speaking out against the Big Bend border wall in a universally nonpartisan manner with everything they’ve got. One coffee shop built a massive replica wall with a canoe on top saying “STOP THE STEEL.”

More border wall survey stakes are showing up across the Big Bend region, including in Big Bend Ranch State Park. These rural Texas communities could lose everything: rural economies decimated, gravesites uprooted, access to irrigation cut off. And Gov. Abbott is dead silent.

Big news: Mike Lee's disgraceful land grab provision has been removed from the Senate budget bill. But Lee has vowed to continue efforts to liquidate our public lands so billionaires can build private playgrounds & lock the rest of us out. We'll fight him every step of the way.

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X. We shouldn't be sacrificing our cherished public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.

This week, DHS waived every one of our nation's most important environmental laws to bulldoze new border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park. This marks the first time in U.S. history these laws have been waived in a national park. With these laws gutted and a $1.7 billion construction contract already issued, very little stands in the way of DHS contractors plowing into the park, permanently destroying countless archeological sites, blocking off river access and turning this peaceful national park into an industrial construction zone. We will continue to fight this project every step of the way... more on that soon. Audio from NPR's fantastic Studio 1A program, which aired across the country last week.

Texas is installing a “floating wall” across the Rio Grande with netting intended to snag & drown border-crossers. River currents will trap debris in the nets & alter river flows. People & wildlife will drown. This is Gov Abbott’s deadly abomination…

BREAKING: new video captures rare jaguar roaming the sky islands of southern Arizona. We checked this camera trap in an undisclosed location yesterday. Just weeks earlier, this cat was moving through the same slopes. We must protect wildlife connectivity in the borderlands so jaguars can continue their recovery in the American Southwest.

DHS bulldozed thousands of saguaros & other native cacti to build the border wall. In an effort to deflect from severe public outcry, they transplanted a few and wrote a congratulatory press release calling themselves conservationists. The fate of the transplanted saguaros:

BREAKING: DHS just gutted every relevant environmental law to build border barriers thru Big Bend National Park, where virtually nobody crosses the border. This is a breathtaking attack on national park protections everywhere. If they do it here, they'll try to do it everywhere.

The people who want to wall off Big Bend have never set foot here. Instead of listening to local sheriffs, border security experts, rural Texas businesses, and pretty much every single person who calls this region home, DHS is pushing to butcher Big Bend National Park with completely unnecessary walls and roads.

Texas has installed the first 1000 feet of its absurd “floating wall.” This looks easy to scale at such low water levels. But it’s underwater netting will ensnare fish, turtles & aquatic birds & intends to trap and drown migrants as a deadly “deterrent.”

Republican border sheriffs are repeatedly telling anyone who will listen: Big Bend already has a God-made wall. If someone can cross over hundreds of miles of this terrain, they won’t be stymied by a small piece of steel. Washington bureaucrats at DHS aren’t listening.

Border walls don’t belong in wildlife refuges. Pronghorn like these have migrated freely across the invisible line that’s now called the U.S.-Mexico border for millennia. Now, their habitat is severed in two. This video from the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge in AZ.

Gov. Abbott is destroying the Rio Grande for a fearmongering photo-op. Miles of deadly razor-wire have been deployed to ensnare & impale border crossers. Bobcats, bear, mule deer & other wildlife will also be cut off from their main source of water.

The Senate will likely vote to confirm Steve Pearce tomorrow. As BLM director, he will oversee 245 million acres of America’s mountains, canyons, grasslands & rivers. Pearce has spent his career trying to sell off & destroy our public lands. Shameful.

You know this is an incredible bipartisan movement when even the Trump-endorsed U.S. House candidate for this rural Texas district Brandon Herrera is speaking at the rally against the Big Bend border wall. Where is Greg Abbott? Where are the rest of the don't tread on me Republicans?

A new leak reveals just how far Trump is going to decimate the National Park Service. Here's the playbook: crush morale, force rangers to quit, hollow out the agency & let parks fall into disrepair. Then they'll call parks “mismanaged” and invite industry to pillage them.

I spent 9 years documenting border wall construction across Arizona. I watched DHS pump millions of gallons of groundwater, dynamite sacred sites & slice apart wildlife corridors. We can't let them bring this kind of devastation to Big Bend.

Since I worked there in 2015, Big Bend has always been my last source of hope in the borderlands. A place too rugged, too remote—and with virtually zero crossings, too pointless to tame with border walls. Now the corrupt politicians and billionaire contractors are coming to try and destroy the last best place left in the borderlands. But they don't understand what this place means to us. We will never stop fighting for Big Bend.

BREAKING: We’re suing DHS for invoking sweeping waiver authority gutting dozens of federal laws to fast-track border wall construction in the Big Bend region. This is an unconstitutional power grab—Congress never authorized anything close to this scale of action or destruction.

The current DHS map shows a border wall ripping through this exact stretch of river in Big Bend Ranch State Park. They’ve awarded a $1.2 billion dollar construction contract. They’ve waived every single environmental law to rush the project. We could lose this river forever.
