Happy National Public Lands Day! 🌅

From the Rio Grande to the top of our mountains, our national parks, and the forest lands and acequias that have sustained our communities for generations, these lands are part of who we are.

Public lands are our lands. And we will keep fighting to protect them!

Our current administration and senators must dedicate every moment until January 3rd to confirming regulators and judges who will stand up to the Trump administration’s blatant disregard for our environment, wildlife, and parks. This is not a time for despair—it’s a time for decisive action.

F Elon and the felon he rode in on.
Precisely my expectation:

1. Decimate the ranger personnel.
2. Watch the national parks deteriorate.
3. Declare only privatization can save them.
4. Put hand-picked companies in charge, which will
5. Start selling off land and mineral rights to "save" the parks.

THE GOP IS A LAUGHING STOCK! "Joe Neguse just exposed Mark Amodei's sneaky late-night scheme to sell off public land without proper congressional oversight! Republicans are once again trying to push their unpopular agenda on the public while dodging transparency.

Trump: "We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money and then re-harvest trees ... we don't need anything from Canada."

The Trump Administration just repealed the Bureau of Land Management’s Public Lands Rule that helped make sure conservation, recreation, and local communities had a real seat at the table.

Nearly 3 million acres of America’s protected public lands—gone with the stroke of a pen.

No vote. No debate. No public consent. Trump just gutted Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante, slashing 90% of their monument protections in the largest land clawback in American history. Sacred tribal

Sadly this morning, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved Sen. Mike Lee’s amendment to eliminate the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects roughly 45 million acres of national forest land.

The Trump Administration is undoing protections for 60 million acres of pristine wilderness across the country, including 2 million right here in Oregon. This is an incredibly shortsighted and backward decision.
Trump officials plan to remove protections on 2 million acres of national forests in Oregon • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule would open up 58 million acres of national forest land across the country to logging and development.

The proposal to open all 83,000 acres of Conecuh National Forest to oil and gas leasing raises serious questions about risk and reward.

The forest has low development potential, minimal existing leasing, and acknowledged environmental risks.

Yet climate impacts aren’t addressed.

"[Forestry experts] warned during similar efforts in Trump’s first term that you can’t log your way out of fire danger... Removing large, fire-resistant trees also gives way to young trees that are more susceptible to fires."

He's going to drill in the national parks.
He's going to subdivide the national parks and build condos.
He's going to create little Trump Towns in the national parks.

What Teddy Roosevelt saw as our common national inheritance to be treasured, Trump sees as his treasure to plunder.
