Protect Our Public Lands! Old-growth forests are less prone to fire danger because the multi-canopy forests are sponges—they shield the soil from the drying sun and keep the water in the soil! In short, large contiguous forests are necessary to keep the water cycle (from soil to rain) intact.

Remember when historian Arthur Schlesinger exposed Nixon in "The Imperial Presidency"? Trump & Nixon both fired dissenters. Trump has declared he will imprison dissenters. Project 2025 supports this. Stop encroaching dictatorship.

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

At the direction of RFK Jr., America’s newly confirmed secretary of Health and Human Services, the CDC has suddenly fired nearly 1,300 employees in a single day. 10% of America’s vital team of health experts — considered global leaders in disease control — have been axed. Although HHS…

They have killed the Epidemic Intelligence Service AKA “the disease detectives.” These are the experts on the frontlines protecting us from new and old infectious disease threats. Gone. In tbe stroke of a pen.

We must heavily monitor this regime for null and void actions against our PUBLIC LANDS, particularly our OLD GROWTH forests. The last time I went to town, I saw two logging trucks with enormous cut Douglas fir trees (only four could fit per truck). Monitor lumber mills for accepting these trees?
