"Much of the mainstream media rhetoric around the tree sit relies on neoliberal understandings of what is possible... On the ground, many people have a simpler outlook. As the banner hanging on the still-standing tree reads, 'BORDERS KILL.' We deny any line that divides us. We oppose any force that prevents people, animals, and water from moving and dwelling where they will. We refuse to believe that this wall will stand forever. We know that with our continued refusal, we can tear it down." https://crimethinc.com/2026/08/12/the-border-is-an-open-wound-a-tree-sit-in-lochiel-arizona-halts-border-wall-construction
