The Senate and the White House are narrowing in on a bad deal that could codify Trump-era policies: Mass deportations, family detention, and family separation. That’s in addition to removing crucial transparency and congressional oversight of billion-dollar weapons sales. 

Distressingly, the Senate could vote on this deal as soon as this week. These extremist anti-immigrant demands are straight out of Trump and Stephen Miller’s playbook — a laundry list of hateful policies we spent YEARS fighting against.

For several years now the winter solstice event at Serpent Mound, where candles or luminaries were placed so to outline the Native American effigy mound, has been canceled and this year will be no different.

Serpent Mound is within a privte park in Peebles, Ohio, but under control of the Ohio History Connection (OHC), and it was the OHC which made the decision in 2017 to end the event at the suggestion of Native Americans. Most notably the Shawnee, who claim ancestral stewardship of the effigy mound, which is the largest on the planet. Fascinating is how one of the Serpent’s coils aligns with the winter solstice sunrise while its head aligns with the summer solstice sunset.
