While no final decisions have been made, the list includes Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni–Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon, Ironwood Forest, Chuckwalla, Organ Mountains–Desert Peaks, Bears Ears, and Grand Staircase–Escalante spanning Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Utah.
Of course Bears Ears & Grand Staircase. Visited during the 1st Trump Admin. No comments from the staff BUT they used a map which showed the original boundaries along with the Trump boundaries to make a silent point.
That's what he meant by, "drill baby drill"
OUR land is going to look like nothing you ever wanted to see...
🥲 Yet a few years ago,( YouTube/ tiktok )videographers couldn't film even with just a cellphone in many public lands because we might destroy them ...
Can the states that these monuments are located sue to stop them? I'd also think that we the people could bring a class-action suit. It's our effing land!
Utah will applaud this, even though they get a pile of tourist $$ because of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase. They are just idiots about it (former resident, escaped to a better place)
They don't want to buy them, they want to drill or mine there, destroying everything. When it's time to clean up the toxic devastation, it will be on the public to pay for it.
anyone interested in crowdfunding an expedition to capture these places on drones in 360 so we have a record of their beauty in case these shit birds actually get around to mining our beautiful land?
🤬So very tired, already, of these inordinately small men who need to assuage their egos by destroying anything that other people have created or valued. Please let us know ways we can fight back!
“They opened up Grand Staircase under the previous [Trump] administration and the coal market did not rush in, the oil and gas market did not rush in, nobody rushed in,” said Tracy Stone-Manning, who led Interior’s Bureau of Land Management under Biden.”
How about mount Rushmore? Why isn't that on the list huh? These fuckers only want to go after non white monuments. Fuck you white supremacist assholes. I hope you all meet an untimely end!
Trump wants to allow drilling in these areas so that BIG Oil can make money, there can be development and more money for businesses. Roosevelt would kick his ass if he were alive. No understanding or appreciation for the value of National Parks or Monuments. NONE AT ALL.
Big Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante... the Obama contribution, of course. I am absolutely SURE this is just the Dry Land list... marine conservation areas, especially those protecting sensitive or endangered species, reefs, deltas and anything on California's coast are next.
Pursuant to the Public Lands Rule I hereby declare that Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument belongs to this gorgeous ocotillo and the other flora and fauna who live here, not to the fossil fuel industry
Nope. U.S. Constitution (Art. IV, § 3) gives CONGRESS power to regulate U.S. property. Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. § 1701) gives CONGRESS authority to change existing National Monuments. NEITHER BURGUM NOR WHATEVER DOGE IS HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THIS! --OMDP volunteer
Thank you for this. Good to know that presidents have the authority to designate monuments, but that only Congress has the authority to change them. (Thanks, Teddy Roosevelt.)
Hassen contact info is hidden. However, here is the contact info for the lawyer working with the Interior Department. He will have Hassen contact info and can forward any comments to Hassen:
I'm sure that due to penis envy, Trump will have them LITERALLY scale back the Washington Monument to ensure that the Trump Monument he adds later will be larger.
president of basin holdings and of wenzel downhole. hmm yeah, seems qualified to scale back national monuments where the geology of the land may be worth prospecting. maybe i'm just being cynical.
People who loathe immigrants don’t want to be reminded of their own ancestry. Just like the descendants of slave holders and segregationists want to erase Black History.
Deviating from the orthodoxy of white Protestant male supremacy is not tolerated.
Can’t wait for them to build the big statue of Trump. He’s gonna do it, you know it, I know it. He can’t stand to see the Lincoln and Washington monuments without adding his!
I want to be there when it gets knocked down Saddam Hussein style and the head kicked down Black Lives Matter ave!
You are thinking small. I am going to contract Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby to add to Mt Rushmore. They did a beautiful sculpture of me at Mar-a-Lago! There may be a pesky little issue with the location being considered sacred, but after my 14th Amendment is law that won’t be a problem. MAGA!!!
Because they're Russian operatives. I truly believe this because logically, I can't come up with another reason why someone who clearly benefited from our civil liberties & legal system would do such a thing. He hates this country & everything it stands for. He spits in our faces every day.
Say it again. Say it LOUDER! I think this is our new War Cry! Why does MAGA hate America??? Show photos of National Forest destruction, Wildfire destruction, hurricane and tornado aftermath... that's how propaganda works. Let's go!

Decisions about Nature being made by people who see Nature as an impediment. Musk regularly fouls Nature with his rockets from TX. That's why he's there - the TX gov't. doesn't care. Now he wants to spread the attitude to places he'll never see or care about. He is a ghoul.
They must be hatching a plan to steal some riches from the monuments.
Drill for oil/mine for coal, it's always about making a quick buck at the expense of beauty & the natural world.
Lube up & bend over America, because the #OrangeClown is coming for your piggy-bank.
I'm suspecting a political motive as well. I did some digging and found out that at least four of those monuments were declared national parks/monuments by either Joe Biden or Barack Obama, as recently as last year and as late as 2014. Ironwood Forest is still older, formed back in 2000.
For what it's worth, this also isn't the first time these particular sites have come under threat by Trump and co., and they were stopped the first time around. We've got to make sure they don't get them this time either.
Protecting these national monuments is crucial for preserving our shared heritage and ensuring future generations can experience their beauty. How can we amplify Indigenous voices in these conservation efforts?
This was always dumps plan and gift to the oil barrons who bankrolled his campaign and influenced voters state by state. They will drill in National Parks, forests, rivers, sea shores... And dig thru mountains for minerals
They're going into the oceans now for mineral mining. Something every other nation signed a commitment not to do. No joke. They're gonna kill the planet
This administration is leaving us with nothing. By the time they're done, we'll be poorer, sicker, and stupider. They are plundering our treasures and raping the land.
It’d be nice to see some militias formed to protect our public lands. The majority of the 2A gun nuts are out west, aren’t they? This is their chance to stand up to tyranny.
"The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States..."
Burgum PURPORTS to turn Interior over to DOGE. DOGEbags PURPORT to shrink Monuments which only Congress can do. NONE OF THESE ASSHOLES HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO ANY OF THIS ILLEGAL BULLSHIT! https://lewiscall.substack.com/p/western-sky-style-guide
What is sickening is the having to go to court all the time for everything these s.o.b.s are doing. Congress could stop all this but are choosing not to. Maybe we should go to court and sue them as a nation for incompetence and deriliction of duty.
Given the chance they will destroy every inch of the Grand Canyon, and decimate the Colorado River. They literally do not care about anything or anyone but money.

Step away from our National Monuments and National Parks and National Forests!!! 🌳
😡😠😡😠😡😠😡
All to benefit uranium mining. What is this the 1950s?
This is a real issue pitting mining & transport companies against the people who live on the land.
30% of the residents have no running water, and 32% do not have electricity. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of abandoned Uranium mines.
Who is this doge guy - how do we get ahold of him?

Tyler Hassen.
Been wondering who this dick is
We need new leadership and a coherent stance from sitting Democrats.
This is our fault. We need to vote for better people. Recalls might be an option to correct this wrong
how much does that profiting enterprise "donate" to trump.
it's all a grift.
Fucking soon to be all DFT Parks or the Bezos National Mall, now about the Royal Musk George!
Such a 💩🌀
Just saying…
Drill for oil/mine for coal, it's always about making a quick buck at the expense of beauty & the natural world.
Lube up & bend over America, because the #OrangeClown is coming for your piggy-bank.
"Biden/Obama did it? Get rid of it!"
Their uniform response goes something like this:
@democrats.org
These our AMERICA’s monuments!! We paid for these. I am so pissed!!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
