But it was a tool to buy time to figure out what other types of organizing can we do.

Yeah, and it's still like, even if it's only time, like harm isn't being done in that time and it's still a good thing.

It's like a form of harm reduction.

It reminds me a lot of the struggles here against the newer, larger border wall that we've seen since 2015, 2016, when Trump got elected.

Like I'm thinking about how

There have been ecological challenges to it.

There have been social challenges to it.

The city of San Diego is currently trying to sue the Fed for trespass for part of its war construction, which I'm not a big fan of our city government, but I'm glad they did that.

And all these different tools have at least... At least in the last Trump administration, I remember...

in the late summer of 2020, being out with some Kumeyaay folks who were in ceremony because the wall construction was destroying Kumeyaay ancestors who are buried there and in the spaces where they are buried.

And they ran out the clock on the Trump administration by using their rights as indigenous people to be in ceremony

the refusal of the workers to literally drive a dump truck through the middle of their ceremonial practices, they were able to like run the clock out on the Trump administration.

Unfortunately, now we have another one, but like all those different things had to work together to mean that like in that little part of the border, somebody's great, great grandparents remains weren't dynamited out of the earth.

And that's still a good thing.

Like, however we got there, that's a good thing.

It makes me happy to hear that, like, even folks who might have otherwise been politically aligned with this project were appalled by this.

Because the idea of literally warehousing humans, like, it's so fucking bleak.

Like, there's these big warehouses where we fill them with shit that we don't need.

And now they're filling them with people that apparently we don't want.

Like, it's one of the more horrific things.
