We should celebrate the fact that this was a huge wave of blue, especially for states like Texas. Along with historical wins for governors!
HOWEVER
Do not become complacent. Keep pressuring politicians to do better! Keep fighting!

This is a crime. States should start taking this destruction seriously and protect against it.
Trump's second border wall is going up through Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and they're ripping out sacred saguaros to build it. π΅
This video from Russ McSpadden of the Center for Biological Diversity shows saguaros on the ground next to the bollards for the new wall. It shows thousands of saguaros have been removed, along with ocotillo and all kinds of other plants and vegetation.
The Tohono O'odham call the saguaro ha:ΕaΓ±. In their custom, saguaros are considered people. Removing one isn't just destroying a plant, it's considered an act of violence against a person.
These creatures grow about an inch in their first eight years. They don't flower until 35. They don't grow an arm for 50 to 70 years. They live 150 years or more.
And they provide homes for other critters. Gila woodpeckers carve nests into saguaros, and elf owls, kestrels and purple martins move in after.
And "just transplant them" doesn't always work. An NPS official told federal auditors that as many as half didn't survive the move. In 2020, thousands were removed for the first 30-foot wall. Some were transplanted. Most didn't survive. Now the survivors are being torn out again. McSpadden: "The few that did survive are being transplanted again, so exponentially less chance of survival for those saguaros."
And thousands more are slated to be ripped out of the Tohono O'odham Nation's own land. The Nation says Border Patrol told them it's happening. Chairman Verlon Jose: "Trespassing on our land to remove the sacred saguaros is like having masked men break into your house and take away your children."
So the Nation went to court to stop it, including an emergency request to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. A federal judge has refused to block the wall and the removal of the saguaros.
Removing a saguaro without a permit is illegal in Arizona. But last November, DHS waived legal requirements there to speed up wall construction.
Check out Russ's video below to see the desecration of the ancient saguaros. It's in the first reply.
What would you do if invaders came onto your land and started desecrating it?
