Texas. 1848. Le famiglie messicane vengono costrette ad abbandonare le loro terre dai sassoni che vengono a colonizzare questo stato spopolato. Due famiglie messicane, gli Iturralde e i Villareal, vedono la loro pacifica esistenza infranta quando si rifiutano di vendere i loro ranch ai Mackenzie, una famiglia irlandese che non si fermerà davanti a nulla per ottenere ciò che vogliono. E ciò che vogliono, si trova in profondità in questa terra estesa e fertile... il petrolio.

Una meteora entra nell'atmosfera terrestre e si spezza a metà. Un pezzo colpisce il centro di Lennox, un piccolo paese di montagna, e subito dopo l'area circostante inizia a congelarsi. Il secondo pezzo, invece, crea una zona tropicale tra la neve e il ghiaccio. La studentessa Alex Novak e Charlie Ratchet, locale padre di famiglia, proveranno a riunire le due metà del meteorite per salvare l'intera umanità.

President Donald Trump is pushing Republican senators to back his “big, beautiful bill,” which includes new funding to carry out his mass deportation agenda by hiring additional ICE officers and adding detention space. ICE has already signed new agreements with jails around the country for additional capacity, and confirmed nine deaths in custody since Trump took office. “It really feels like a paradigm-shifting moment,” says Detention Watch Network executive director Silky Shah. “People are being packed into overcrowded cells. People are not getting medical ... continua
