Trump has:
-Cut protections for national monuments to open them up for mining
-Pushed to open up our national forests for construction and logging
-Proposed building data centers on thousands of acres of federal lands
Nothing is sacred to this regime. It acts solely on behalf of the oligarchy.

If we don’t hear about it on the news and the government stops monitoring it…does that mean it doesn’t exist?
This despite record global temperatures & extreme weather events.
It didn't happen by accident. It's a predictable consequence of Trump/GOP assault on the media coupled w/ plutocratic capture of media outfits and platforms.

From the latest @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social survey:
"The percentage of registered voters who say they hear about global warming in the media dropped 11 percentage points from 2024 (30%) to 2025 (19%), which is the lowest it has been since the question was first asked in 2015."
