President Donald Trump to visit Texas to laud border wall (while 3-4 thousand Americans will be dying from Covid-19)

President Donald Trump is expected to travel to the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday to highlight his administration’s work on the border wall, the White House said Saturday.

Trump will travel to the town of Alamo in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. He will mark the completion of 400 miles of border wall and his administration’s efforts to reform what the White House described as the nation’s broken immigration system.

While most of the wall went up in areas that had smaller barriers, the government has built hundreds of miles of fencing as high as 30 feet in a short amount of time — most of it this year.

The administration prioritized areas where the wall could be built more quickly, and crews have blasted hills and bulldozed sensitive habitats in national wildlife refuges and on American Indian land to do it.

Fotografia: Una donna Yanomami, con il suo bambino sulle ginocchia, prepara un pasto

Come dice il portavoce degli Yanomami Davi Kopenawa nel suo libro La caduta del cielo: “Tutta la terra del Brasile era già occupata da persone come noi. Oggi è quasi vuoto ed è uguale ovunque. Quasi tutti i primi abitanti della foresta sono scomparsi. Quelle che ancora esistono qua e là sono ciò che resta del gran numero che i bianchi uccisero molto tempo fa per conquistare le loro terre. Quindi … questi stessi bianchi non avevano paura di amare oggetti di cui divoravano i proprietari come nemici.

Da allora, hanno tenuto questi beni chiusi nel bicchiere dei loro musei per mostrare ai loro figli ciò che resta di coloro che sono stati uccisi dai loro anziani. Ma quando cresceranno, questi ragazzi non finiranno per chiedere: ‘Hou! Queste cose sono davvero belle, ma perché hai distrutto…

Deeper like ocean!🌅

Soni's thoughts

An art i tried drawing, referring youtube😊

Thoughts go deep to deeper like an ocean..
There is no stopping or no limit in any!

Sometimes less, many a times high…
Like the low to high moves of waves!

ceaseless weird feelings…
Same as invisible border of ocean!

Tangled with these many thoughts…
Like the waves have the tangled flows!

Feeling like lost somewhere…
Like a drop of water once fallen on ocean vanishes!!

Life is taking me with its to and fro…
Like the water drop in an ocean goes with its flow!!

Inside me, roaring sounds of heart and mind…
Like the tides sound in ocean while rising!!

At some point as the ocean finally calms down with its tides sleeping around…
Likewise the arguments between my mind and heart settled down!!

Is there any changes to my thoughts??
Well coming soon to play in loop same as above!!👆🏻😄
