Today down in El Paso I witnessed one of the wildest scenes I’ve ever seen in my time covering the border. National Guard troops were attempting to ‘push back’ male migrants hoping to be admitted into the U.S. when the crowd grew impatient and surged forward, tearing down razor wire and fences and overwhelming the Texas soldiers standing guard.

El foc ja ha arribat als límits d’Aldover i, segons m’han dit els Mossos, ja ha començat a cremar cases als afores. També ha saltat el canal de reg. La situació és molt greu. Si sou a la zona, seguiu les indicacions d’emergència i manteniu-vos fora de perill. #Aldover #Incendi

Un incendi forestal massiu arrasa les muntanyes prop de Paüls, a Catalunya. Les flames es veuen des de quilòmetres. Helicòpters a l’aire. Nit molt dura per als bombers. Fotos: © James Breeden #IncendiPaüls #Paüls #incendi

Huge explosions are echoing from the #Paüls forest fire as unexploded ordnance from the Spanish Civil War detonates in the flames. Forts esclats ressonen des de l’incendi forestal de Paüls: les flames fan detonar artefactes sense explotar de la Guerra Civil. #IncendiPaüls

L'incendi forestal ja és a prop dels pobles de Xerta i Aldover The forest fire is now close to the villages of Xerta and Aldover #Paüls #incendi #Xerta #Aldover

It was a pleasure talking to the talented @laiaviab about my work on migration at the US-Mexico border.

Going through my archive for a presentation, I came across this photo I took in Lukeville, Arizona. I hadn’t looked at it since then & seeing it now, just over a year later, shocked me. Hard to believe how much has changed. #Photojournalism #Border #Lukeville #Migration #Arizona

Most of Spain and Portugal plunged into total darkness today. No electricity. No cell service. 13 hours later: a state of emergency declared, a hum of generators in the villages, faces lit only by cigarettes and headlamps. This is Catalonia tonight. #apagon #spainpower #Spain

Over four hours now without power in Spain. No phone or cell service where I am in Catalonia either. Zero official communication so far. Very grateful to have @Starlink at the moment.

Power has been out for almost an hour here in Catalonia as large parts of Spain and Portugal have been hit by a massive outage. Cell service almost nonexistent too. Connected via @Starlink and powered by @EcoFlowTech

Air travel in 2024 on my @SouthwestAir flight this morning. People just don’t seem to know how to behave in public anymore.

Just spotted the new 6th-gen Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter being put through its paces out in SoCal after being unveiled a couple of days ago. It looks amazing in the flesh - I want one! #Toyota #4Runner #Trailhunter #SoCal #SUV #overland #overlanding
