Nevada Governor and BLM Sign Agreement to Release Federal Lands for Development They’re literally calling it a “disposal of public lands” as if shared wilderness, sacred ground, and national inheritance are garbage to be cleared and sold.

They’re literally calling it a “disposal” of public lands.

Disposal. Like expired meat. Like broken furniture.

Nevada’s gov just signed a deal with the BLM to identify federal lands to be cleared and sold. This isn’t a rogue state. This is federal policy. The BLM is not resisting. They are all in.

America’s National Parks Are Being Airbnb’d How Private Interests Are Quietly Rewriting the Rules of America’s Public Lands

Public lands were never just about the land. They were about the promise — that these places would be managed by and for the people. That a kid from anywhere, with nothing but a backpack and a sense of wonder, could stand in the same valley as a president and feel just as entitled to be there.

An Ode to the Public Servants Who Must Be Stopped They protected the public interest. Someone had to stop them.

“Beware the man who checks your air!
Who measures toxins, shows he cares.
The EPA’s most wanted thug—
he traced the leak and pulled the plug!

Be warned: the ranger at their post,
who tells your kids what matters most…”

Now Public Lands Are Being Militarized for Mining Because nothing says freedom like bulldozing the backcountry with Pentagon funding.

Under this order, the default use of federally managed land—especially land with known or suspected mineral reserves—is no longer conservation, recreation, or cultural preservation. It’s extraction.

Who Started the Lie That We Should "Return Public Lands to the States"? Why the call to “give land back” to states is historically wrong, strategically deceptive, and incredibly dangerous.

Quick bubble-burster for some frequent commenters: The states never owned America’s public lands.

Nope. Not then. Not now. Not ever.

So why won't this myth die? Who benefits from keeping it alive? And why should you care?

The National Forest Logging Scam—And Who’s Profiting From It They claim it’s wildfire prevention. In reality, it’s a billion-dollar giveaway to the timber industry.

It’s happening right now.

Hundreds of millions of public lands are being handed over to the logging industry.

We’re told that this logging—sorry, "active forest management"—is necessary to stop the "megafires" threatening communities.

There’s just one problem: It’s completely false.

Thanks for sharing!
