Olivia of Troye - Saturday Covfefe: Quiet Changes. Real Consequences.
1. Holy Ground, Seized for Politics
The Trump administration is suing the Catholic Church to seize land surrounding Mount Cristo Rey near El Paso, Texas, so it can expand the border wall. Yes, really.
If you didn’t grow up on the border, it may sound like just another land dispute. It’s not.
I’ve actually made the pilgrimage up Mount Cristo Rey. Many members of my family have too. If you’re from the region, you understand what that mountain represents: faith, family, culture, and generations of border communities tied together across two countries.
So yes, this is incredibly insulting and upsetting.
