“Imagine a beautiful, flowing river, teeming with birds and wildlife,” writes the Center’s Laiken Jordahl on Medium. [Link in bio.] Then imagine it split by a “lethal obstacle with buoys joined by circular saw blades, underwater netting and weights intended to snag and drown border crossers.” That’s what Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has put into the Rio Grande — and where bodies were found floating at the beginning of August. For the sake of racist politics, like former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey before him, Abbott has turned the U.S.-Mexico border into a war zone. #Border #Texas #Mexico #RioGrande #GovAbbott
