Trump and his helpers should be cut down instead, in a metaphorical sense of course.

The Lady is desperate...

blanchekolaczek.bsky.social•85 days ago

Waiting for the ents to rise up.

Maybe the National Parks rangers can help

blanchekolaczek.bsky.social•85 days ago

Sequoia National Park rangers surely can.

It's all on us, unfortunately.

Nobody, and nothing, is coming to rescue us from the leaders we put in power.

newenglandgirl.bsky.social•85 days ago

👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 It IS all on US! We need to be shouting that from the rooftops.

blanchekolaczek.bsky.social•85 days ago

Still would enjoy seeing the ents come alive.

Imho he thinks resource plundering is going to counter the adverse effects of tariffs and kick-start self sufficiency. He doesn’t get folks’ attachment to the Wild.

That old bastard doesn't care because he will never have to suffer the consequences of his selfish decisions.

Trumps war on the living planet. Same as his war on democracy.

The timid centre ground will never counter.

jhegarty.bsky.social•85 days ago

As Yeats said "the center cannot hold." Time to move away from the centre ground.

Brazen vs Decorum

Well, since most of our domestic timber currently comes from Canada, and you know how that's going, more domestic logging will be needed to supply the housing market. That is assuming that we don't crash that too as part of this ongoing train wreck.

More lawsuits coming.

Same, Same. Same. Same.

I truly hope this will not happen at the end. So frustrating and devastating to even think about it. What an evil idiot.

deliciouslegacy.bsky.social•85 days ago

How can one mad man give such bizarre instructions and why must be obeyed? It doesn't make sense. National parks and forests aren't his to do as it please!

This is what has been stressing me out the most and what I've been calling my reps about repeatedly.
