Day 9:

A few more folks have joined us to banner from the Mexico side of the river, as we face at least 5 branches of the military: the Texas National Guard, the Texas State Military Guard, the Army Reserves, State Highway Patrol, and the Border Patrol. Over 200 soldiers are now occupying the people's former park, Shelby Park.

Currently they've a 140 MILLION dollar construction project to house over 2000 soldiers here on the river - soldiers who have no business being here, taking over the job of the Border Patrol.

An installation that will cost the tax payer an addition 14 MILLION a MONTH to run. At least 25 other state governors have vowed to send their state's national guard to Texas, including Florida of course. We've already seen the Florida Fish and Game people on the boat, trolling the river for desperate humans.

Today's 'visitors' came in the white ABBA bus parked there so they weren't politicians, maybe just republican 'tourists'. We were so loud on the opposite bank, they didn't stay long nor did they get on the boats. We're claiming this as a success!

We can't really see that clearly, but 2e think the guy in the red hat is a maga asshole.

New boat from Florida added to the crew of 4 here

Here we are, bannering and doing our best to heckle the u.s. soldiers willing to do this horrific militarization of our border - and the tourists who are doing this reality tv stunt tour.
