In July, I took a ride through the Arizona desert with Verlon Jose, chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation, a sprawling reservation on the U.S.-Mexico border that may soon be changed forever. It was the beginning of an investigation that ProPublica is publishing today. THREAD ⬇️

Gotta wonder how much time and resources has been spent responding to the lies of Kari Lake, Shelby Busch, and the damn Overstock guy just in Maricopa alone.

MARICOPA COUNTY ELECTIONS

Maricopa County is committed to transparent elections. You can view our tabulation center 24/7 365 days a year. These images of two employees working late in the tabulation center were recently
sent to the Elections Department by an individual(s) questioning the legitimacy of their presence.

As occurs in the weeks preceding an election, these employees were working on a legitimate election task, late into the night. These photos may be used on social media to imply wrongdoing. This is not the case. Know the facts, so you can vote confidently.

Patrick Byrne and Mike Lindell gave these guys a fuckton of money years ago so now every election cycle a few election workers doing their normal jobs are picked out to be ritually sacrificed to the reliable outrage mob they’ve cultivated.

Ryan Visconti, the lead pastor of Generation Church which has campuses in Mesa, Ahwatukee, Queen Creek and Fountain Hills, expressing support for public executions like firing squads or “a dude swinging from a noose.” This is a TPUSA Faith affiliated church that previously hosted a JD Vance rally.

Ryan Visconti on X.com

Been saying we need to bring back public executions for years.

The goal is 1) justice and 2) deterrence.
Many evildoers would be dissuaded if they saw the cautionary reminder of a dude swinging from a noose.

You want to stop moms from killing their kids?
Firing squad.

“The fact that this desecration will take place on Indigenous Peoples' Day is disrespectful to all tribal nations,” the press release says, “Saguaros are symbols of the Tohono O'odham shared faith, serving as spiritual monuments to customs & values. The removal of any saguaro is an act of atrocity.”

NEW: Tohono O'odham Nation leadership issued a release announcing that they’ve filed an emergency injunction after been informed by CBP that “it intends to remove thousands of Saguaros and other vegetation,” on sovereign tribal lands. The destruction is set to begin on Indigenous Peoples Day.

BORDER WALL CONTRACTORS TO START REMOVING SACRED SAGUAROS ON 

MONDAY, OCTOBER 12

Nation Files Emergency Injunction with the Circuit Court of Appeals

SELLS, Ariz. - The Tohono O'odham Nation has been informed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that it intends to remove thousands of Saguaros and other vegetation in its misguided efforts to construct a border wall. On Monday, Oct. 12, federal contractors will begin ripping out these protected plants that have lived in the Sonoran Desert for thousands of years. The fact that this desecration will take place on Indigenous Peoples' Day is disrespectful to all tribal nations.

In addition, earlier this week the Tohono O'odham Nation filed an emergency injunction with the Washington, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to stop DHS from removing thousands of sacred saguaros on Tohono O'odham land. Nation leadership is demanding that the courts put a stop to this lawless behavior that has already caused irreparable damage to our environment and cultural heritage, all in the name of constructing a costly and ineffective border wall. Known as ha:sañ, saguaros are symbols of the Tohono O'odham shared faith, serving as spiritual monuments to customs and values. The removal of any saguaro is an act of atrocity, as they are considered people by the Tohono O'odham."Trespassing on our land to remove the sacred saguaros is like having masked men break into your house and take away your children," said Tohono O'odham Nation Chairman Verlon Jose. "The ha:șañ are our family, as much a part of us as any blood relative. To destroy them by the thousands carves a wound in our hearts that will not heal. We call on all people for solidarity as we work to protect our culture and our land from this useless, destructive wall."

The mighty saguaro not only stands as an O'odham and American icon, it is also a critical part of our ecosystem, providing shelter, sustenance, and deep cultural significance. The saguaro, in Tohono O'odham custom, is akin to a person and any malicious action against one is as if harm is being done to our people. This belief is memorialized in Resolution 21-137 by the Tohono O'odham Legislative Council.

"This is a violation of our sovereignty, of our religious liberty, and of our land," said Chairman Jose. "The Nation will continue to fight to prevent this senseless devastation from going forward and we are grateful for the overwhelming community support we have received."

This is incredibly dangerous and willfully so. They’re choosing to put this person at great risk, and many of the people participating are contractors along side cops from both sides

@azrww.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:02 AM

Border Patrol agents tried to kill this protester at the Lochiel tree-sit blockade and there’s really no other way to read that.

One protester, who had chained themself to a gravel hauling truck for more than seven hours, shutting down wall construction yesterday, was covered in a Mylar blanket by contractors last night. Border Patrol agents started the truck, forcing the protester, who was chained near the back of the vehicle, to inhale carbon monoxide fumes for several minutes under the blanket. "Trying to suffocate them," said Kate Scott, one of the organizers who witnessed the incident.
"Then to make matters worse they began to drive the truck" Scott said, adding that she called 911 for help. A fire truck arrived but Border Patrol sent it away.

Exactly why MSM article like this can get launched into the sun. No, Blake Neff and all the other TPUSA losers are not having second thoughts about the hate they’ve willingly made careers off of. They’re the same as always, just a lil bit sad that people don’t care about their dead bitchass boss.
