Hell, we can’t even get control of a couple of murder investigations. It’s all right out in the open.
As early as this week, the Senate could vote on whether to roll back environmental protections for the Boundary Waters.
The BWCA is one of Minnesota’s most prized natural resources and we must preserve it for future generations.
I’m urging every Senator to vote no on this bill.
Call your elected officials and ask them to lead.👇

Excited to see you there and stand together for our wilderness.
I saw a paper sign on a utility pole saying two neighbors were abducted here. We need something more permanent—markers that stay put wherever someone was taken or an atrocity happened. Bronze plaques in the sidewalk, or another durable reminder we can’t ignore.
Accountability is the only path to healing from these egregious abuses. Minnesota stood strong against tyranny, and now the work for justice begins. We must restore the rule of law and protect our neighbors’ dignity. We are with you! #MN ⚖️
Still true now and will continue to be true in the future.
The U.S. Senate is expected to vote NEXT WEEK on a resolution to repeal protections for the Boundary Waters watershed -- putting clean water and communities at serious risk.

Minnesotans have made clear: they don’t want mining in the Boundary Waters.
But instead of bolstering its protections, today House leadership is forcing a rushed vote to permanently strip the Boundary Waters of its federal protections and open it up to toxic copper sulfide mining.

Just watch her reaction. She didn’t back down one bit. She’s a fighter. We like that!
Persistent chemicals like hexachloroethane don’t just disappear. They linger in soil and grass, build up in living tissue, and magnify up the food chain. In places where kids play, even low exposure can pose long-term health and environmental risks.
Nice radio piece from KUNC and CO-NPR with collaborators at USFS on our research on the biogeochem of process based restoration.

He was a VA ICU nurse for many years. From what I can find he may have been going to medical school..
Even if your Republican colleagues believe they are getting the worst of the worst, when the harm to the community so clearly outweighs any benefit and agencies refuse to pause or adjust, this stops being about public safety. They need to speak out.
No
In a briefing ICE claims a few arrests and blames local leaders and media, as if that justifies tear gas, fear, constitutional violations, and a city on edge. When harm wildly outweighs benefit and agencies refuse to pause or adjust, this isn’t public safety — it’s power, politics, and impunity.
The Boundary Waters belongs to all of us and its protections aren’t guaranteed. Join us at the Minnesota State Capitol on Feb 25. We’ll connect you with your legislators, cover training, and help you meet them in person so your voice is impossible to ignore. 💧
This is important to us because what’s happening right now in Congress could permanently change protections for a beloved wilderness area. With everything else going on, this quietly moved forward while most people weren’t paying attention and it should concern all of us.
As for me.
House Republicans passed a bill to roll back environmental protections for Minnesota’s Boundary Waters today.
We must continue to protect the BWCA for generations of Minnesotans to come – and this bill is not how we do that.
He couldn’t exactly say ‘bury the Epstein files.’
