Like back in the day when charities would let you take a sledgehammer swing at a foreign vehicle to raise money? The line would be huge.

Felt good to join the many patriots on the streets of my town today. Even saw one yahoo get arrested for swerving at us and driving recklessly. FAFO ๐Ÿ˜‚ Our voices will be heard, and we are growing in numbers and strength.

This p*sses me off to no end. I love the USFS and I know the good folks doing the work arenโ€™t behind this messaging, but it still makes me want to ๐Ÿคฎ

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Tell the Senate: Donโ€™t Sell Off Americaโ€™s Public Lands The Senate wants to force the sale of up to 3 million acres of public land. Tell your Senators: protect our conservation legacyโ€”keep public lands in public hands.

๐Ÿšจ Advocacy Alert: The Senate ENR Committee has tucked a land sell-off into the FY26 budget billโ€”up to 3 million acres of public lands gone.

These wild places are managed by BLM & USFSโ€”but if we let this happen, whatโ€™s next? Refuges?

A great thread that may help explain why the three liberals didn't join with Gorsuch and Thomas.

This case was NOT litigated by the tribe itself, but by the Becket Fundโ€”a conservative group that regularly argues for Christian supremacy and clearly saw this dispute as a vehicle for its broader aims.

@altnps.bsky.social Were about to hit the road for our annual NPS journey, tariffs be damned. How do we even come close to expressing our gratitude to NPS rangers & staff? Theyโ€™ve endured so much!

So Mexico invades the US and digs in. Would weโ€™d give them Texas and NM to get peace?
