Saguaro Cactus, which grows nowhere else in the world, and the burrowing owl: Just two of the living beings that Trump's bulldozers killed today on the Arizona border, in violation of all protection laws, while building Apartheid and seizing land for the U.S. and its corporate thieves. -- Censored News

The saguaro is one of many plants in Arizona protected by the Native Plant Protection Act, and within national park lands, the removal of any plant is illegal. Trump has annihilated all protection laws, and is now annihilating life itself in the precious and pristine Sonoran Desert.


The company bulldozing Saguaro Cactus on the Arizona border at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument: Trump's destruction of all living things contractor is Southwest Valley Contractors in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The company is now bulldozing the Saguaros. https://www.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/news/2019/08/15/southwest-valley-constructors-80m-border-wall-work.html

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO. 45 IS DESTROYING OUR BEAUTIFUL NATURAL RESOURCES THAT PRESIDENTS HAVE FOUGHT TO PROTECT. 45 IS NOT IF TO BE OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS MENTAL DERANGEMENT IS INCREASING AND HE IS TRYING TO PROVE THAT HE CAN DO WHATEVERwhat is the name of the online community site you use. I need to get this sold asap. HE WANTS. DEFINITELY AUTHORATIVE PERSONALITY.

Declaring “vote blue no matter who” is quite the catch phrase however not very wise. Keep history in mind. The Obama administration,Clinton and the like - Neoliberals way back have played major roles in bringing about what we are dealing with today. The issue we are confronted with go way beyond a border wall.
keep Standing Rock and all other past and current trespass the world is confronted with today.
Please give some thought into what and who you vote for. Voting blue for the sake of preserving the status quo will do nothing to advance the rights of nature nor the rights to life liberty nor justice.

In solidarity and united

To j.d.ruybal:

Yes, you "could" vote for a 3rd party, but then tRump could win, since the vote is split.
NOW is NOT the time to nitpick and let this administration get a 2nd term!
Even if he is impeached and Pence is pres, the devastation on the environment alone that their administration has incurred is too much of a chance to take to "vote your conscience" !
