  1. #NationalButterflyCenter Gets Reprieve—But #BorderWall Will Impact Much More

    By Scott Hoffman Black on 15. February 2019

    "There are many reasons to oppose the wall along the southern border—including the loss of habitat for some of our smallest and most important animals.

    "The building of a wall along the United States–Mexico border has become a topic of debate, in both private and public spheres. The majority of Americans (58%) oppose the border wall for a variety of social, economic, and environmental reasons. Political disputes over border wall funding also led to the record-breaking 35-day government shutdown from December 22, 2018 to January 25, 2019—which negatively affected hundreds of thousands of people and the services of several federal agencies—and still rumble on within Washington, D.C., as this blog is published. All of these are significant concerns, but as a conservation organization, the Xerces Society’s focus is on the border wall’s environmental implications.

    "Recently, debate about the potential environmental impacts of the border wall has been in the spotlight because construction would impact the National Butterfly Center, near Mission, Texas. The #XercesSociety opposed putting the wall across the Center, and joined in calling for the federal government to reconsider moving forward with construction. The good news is that the Center appears to have a reprieve: The government funding bill approved by congress includes a ban on building the wall through several sites in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, including the National Butterfly Center."

  6. "Uncommitted" primary votes from our household going in the mail tomorrow in WA.

    That's as close as I foresee us, once reliable, vote-EVERY-election, Dem up & down ballot voters (live & learn), ever getting to voting major party for Potus ever again.

  11. Friday, 400 people crossed the border in the mountains east of Sasabe, Arizona ( about 2 hours southwest of Tucson) to present themselves to Border Patrol for asylum. Through the night, snow and freezing temperatures set in. The BP just left them there, never showed up.

    Volunteer groups yesterday like No More Deaths and Samaritans ended up transporting the migrants to the Sasabe Border Patrol station, but the agents inside refused to let them in. In fact they threatened the volunteers with arrest for helping the refugees. Hundreds of people out in freezing cold weather all night again. Volunteers did what they could to keep them warm through the night. Finally at 9am this morning they started letting them into the station.

    This kind of thing has been persisting for the last three months, and Border Patrol has failed to adequately allocate resources to address this ongoing crisis. Call Tucson Border Patrol Sector to demand they allocate resources to this ongoing crisis: 520-748-3000

  16. One of the last containers heads to the staging area where it will be loaded onto a flatbed trailer and hauled out. At this point, I don't know where they're going. The former container lot near Whetstone, AZ is mostly empty.

    Note I'm in Mexico shooting this, just behind the barbed wire cattle fence. The "Normandy barrier" was built in the early 2000s. Protesters have vowed to stop any new walls through this area. Stay tuned.
