In 2022 I did a story on impacts of border wall construction on the Sonoran Desert, much of which focused on activity in Cabeza Prieta Nat'l Wildlife Refuge. This week I learned that a 1,000 year old archaeological site in the refuge was destroyed by a DHS contractor theintercept.com/2026/04/30/a...

Would not be the first time the CIA has targeted dissidents in the U.S. In fact one of the hallmarks of the post-9/11 era has been the erosion of safeguards put in place to prevent intel agencies, including the FBI, from engaging in this kind of activity.

"A very sad day." ConocoPhillips executives grapple with loss of drilling rig. www.alaskasnewssource.com/video/2026/0...
ConocoPhillips execs call Doyon oil rig destruction a ‘sad day,’ but no major impacts expected
Around 4,600 combined gallons of diesel and hydraulic oil appear to have spilled in the Jan. 23 fall, officials say
alaskasnewssource.com
Don't expect the Doyon rig accident that took place Friday evening to slow Conoco down. In an email obtained by enviro groups seeking an injunction on winter activity, Conoco's lawyers say, "Exploration activities are continuing & the seismic program is proceeding as planned."

ConocoPhillips' Willow project would emit 284 million metric tons of carbon dioxide over its 30-year lifetime.
