    #BorderWall Construction Triggers Tree Sit to Save Ancient #Arizona #Cottonwood

    For Immediate Release, July 29, 2026
    Contact: Russ McSpadden,

    LOCHIEL, Ariz.— "Protesters today climbed into an ancient cottonwood tree in Arizona’s #SanRafaelValley to stop the Trump administration from cutting it down for construction of two parallel 30-foot-tall border walls.

    "The action comes after Department of Homeland Security contractors cut down three neighboring Fremont cottonwoods estimated to be 200 to 250 years old.

    " 'Destroying these ancient cottonwoods is a death sentence for an entire ecosystem,' said Russ McSpadden, Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. 'These magnificent cottonwoods survived centuries, nourishing wildlife through floods and drought, only to be bulldozed for the Trump administration’s disastrous border wall. The San Rafael Valley is one of the most biologically rich landscapes in North America. It’s both a refuge and crucial corridor for #jaguars, #ocelots, #BlackBears, #pronghorn and hundreds of bird species.'

    Today’s action is believed to be the first tree sit aimed at stopping U.S. border wall construction.

    "The three cottonwoods cut down earlier this week stood along a rare stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border where mature trees once formed a #transboundary canopy. The trees provided nesting habitat, shade and shelter within an increasingly scarce riparian #ecosystem that supports hundreds of animal species. One #protester was arrested Monday while trying to protect those trees and nesting #MigratoryBirds .

    "Federal officials said preconstruction surveys would be conducted during Arizona’s active #nesting season, but observers at the site reported that no surveys for nesting migratory birds were completed before the trees were destroyed.

    "The area also contains prehistoric #ArchaeologicalSites that preserve evidence of thousands of years of #Indigenous presence in the borderlands. Ongoing construction threatens cultural resources that would be permanently lost if disturbed.

    "The Department of Homeland Security is constructing the #BorderWall under authorities that waive dozens of the nation’s cornerstone environmental and cultural resource protection laws, allowing construction to proceed without reviews normally required under laws including the National Environmental Policy Act, the #EndangeredSpecies Act and the National #HistoricPreservation Act.

    "In a letter sent today to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Center called for an immediate halt to construction in the #Lochiel area. The letter urged the agencies to conduct comprehensive biological and cultural resource surveys, consult with Tribes with ancestral and cultural connections to the San Rafael Valley, protect the remaining ancient cottonwoods, and assess the ecological and cultural resources at risk."

  3. Micah White : "Je crois qu'il est très important de ne jamais protester directement contre la police. L'objectif de la police est de dissiper l'énergie que vous mettez à protester contre elle afin que vous laissiez de côté les éléments les plus sensibles du régime répressif dans lequel nous vivons : les politiciens et les grandes entreprises. Nous devons #protester plus profondément."

  7. From 2022: #NSW Police Use #AntProtest Laws to Monitor Tour Groups

    by Paul Gregoire & Ugur Nedim,13 Oct 2022

    Excerpt: "#SilencingDissent

    "Back in 2014, then NSW premier Mike Baird told a NSW mining industry dinner that his government was going to 'crackdown' on those who choose to break the law when they protest. And he singled out '#protesters who unlawfully enter #mining sites.'

    "A little over a year later, the Coalition government followed through with the premier’s promise when it passed a series of harsh #AntiProtestLaws, under the Inclosed Lands, Crimes and Law Enforcement Legislation Amendment (Interference) Bill 2016.

    "The legislation created the new offence of aggravated unlawful entry on inclosed lands. Section 4B of the #InclosedLand Protection Act 1901 provides that interfering, or attempts to interfere, with the conduct of a business on enclosed land can land a #protester with a fine of up to $5,500.

    "Under the provisions of the bill, police were provided with additional powers to stop, search, detain, and seize the property of protesters, as well as being given the power to shutdown a peaceful protest if it is #ObstructingTraffic.

    "And the bill also inserted a definition of #mine into section 201 of the #CrimesAct 1900, so that the offence of interfering with a mine includes #coal seam #gas exploration and extraction sites. This offence carries a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment.

    "The #WilpinjongThree

    "Bev Smiles, Bruce Hughes and Stephanie Luce are the first people to be up on protesting charges since the laws were changed. In April last year, the three were arrested for protesting outside the #Wilpinjong #CoalMine in #Wollar.

    "The three are up on charges of rendering a road belonging to a mine useless and hindering the working equipment belonging to a mine. These are both offences that carry the penalty of seven years imprisonment.

    "When the trio appeared at Mudgee Local Court on February 9, the presiding magistrate rejected police claims that the Wollar-Ulan Road, where the defendants were arrested, actually belonged to the mining company.

    " 'They have pleaded not guilty, and are awaiting a judgment on the case,' Mr Phillips explained. 'The outcome of that case will be important.” If the three have 'the book thrown at them' then it’s likely to discourage the protesting of coal mines in NSW."

    The records provide insight into the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on its end-to-end encryption and that it is only governed by Swiss #privacy law, can and does provide to third parties.

  9. #Proton Mail Helped #FBI Unmask #Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ #Protester
    404media.co/proton-mail-helped

    The real issue is always the same: "#secure" and "#encrypted" services such as #ProtonMail oversell their products with buzzwords to customers who do not understand the full scope and underlying technicalities. I'm holding them responsible not for obeying the #law but for their knowingly misleading #marketing, which lets people think they are automagically "#safe." This has dramatic consequences.

  13. AG #PamBondi & her chief deputy, #ToddBlanche, have resisted calls to authorize #CivilRights investigations into the #immigration agent who killed #ReneeGood, a mother of 3 shot in early January behind the wheel of her car.

    They have yet to make any final determination about whether prosecutors will investigate the killing of #AlexPretti, an intensive care nurse who died Saturday in a hail of bullets as he came to the aid of a fellow #protester.

    "#ICE was there to do it's job" argues one panelist.

    Why is ICE in (of all places) Minneapolis??? The ENTIRE STATE has a FRACTION of Undocumented Immigrants as compared to OVER TWO MILLION IN #TEXAS. So WTF are they doing in #Minnesota?
