Trump’s border wall construction threatens rock art as old as the pyramids: ‘The ancestors are still here’
The Trump administration is now dealing these rare treasures a potentially fatal blow. Last year, Republicans in Congress heaped a whopping $46.5bn for border wall expansion into Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending bill. The longest remaining unwalled stretch of the US-Mexico border lies in west Texas, a remote region that includes some of the state’s most-visited public lands, including the Big Bend national park.

First off, this is like blowing the nose off the sphynx, save these cultural heritage monuments and don't be dumb asses! World, you have to help us, I'm begging you. This is racism and exactly like the Taliban blowing up the giant Buddhas.
And unfortunately those who need to hear this and could put a stop to it don't give a damn. Fucking sucks but large majority are stuck in dead end jobs and only two miss checks from hopelessly that we can't even take the time to do a meaningful protest. Add to the Flock surveillance state we are little by little having our rights stripped from us. I hate this administration so goddamn much and I held my nose and voted for Harris even though she wasn't a great candidate, she better then this. In just two short years Trump destroyed most of America. What will his reaming term going be like? I not even sure it will end after 2028.
it is another aspect of this is completely crazy. So many things happening that you could not imagine happening in your wildest dreams. All things you could see happening before the lessons of the world wars and depression.
