A view to #MonumentValley from #MuleyPoint in #BearsEarsNationalMonument, UT
My great friend, John Glembin, and I spent a week in this area photographing cliff dwellings. What an experience

Now these landscapes are at grave risk—but so is our democracy, as so-called representatives are lying to their constituents and the nation as a President signs an executive order that 7/10 Utahns and most Americans do not want!

He thought taking the signs down ended it.

Here's what he didn't know about how Bears Ears got there in the first place — and what five tribes did in Utah last week when they gathered to figure out what comes next.

One line from that meeting is the whole story.
The Signs Came Down. The Fight Didn't.
Bears Ears lost its federal protections last month, but the coalition that built them isn't backing down.

Why open #BearsEarsNationalMonument, to O&G? Despite decades of drilling, total: 287 wells, only 15 produced, all closed in 1992. Total yield: 300k barrels. Delaware Basin produces twice that in a day. Someone is either conning MAGA or its just trolling.
Just leave #BearsEars alone. #conservation
Trump administration moves to review national monuments for mining, drilling possibilities
The Department of the Interior will start taking “actions to review and, where appropriate, revise all withdrawn public lands,” like national monuments.

I mourn at the attacks on sacred land by this evil regime....

Bears Ears has long been close to my heart. To see it illegally reduced in size majorly yet again, is really devastating

Respect & Protect... 🥺

Slightly different post:
Just finished a painting of #valleyofthegods which is no longer protected. Hoping to sell this and give the proceeds to some non-profits who are trying to save #bearsearsnationalmonument and return it to it’s full size!

#Trump signed an executive order reducing the size #BearsEarsNationalMonument and #GrandStaircase-Escalante in #Utah, leaving them a fraction of their original size. This was done to allow #Billionaires and industries to develop the land. F$ck Trump!

Breaking: Trump Just Slashed 3 Million Acres from Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments
The executive order reduces the protected public lands to a fraction of their size, reigniting a bitter decade-long political war over the American West.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8teVqpV/ This is the reality: greedy people are destroying the environment and history. Is destroying the environment really worth it for all the money? This is what greed does it destroys things. Is progress really worth it if there’s nobody around to see the beauty of nature?
