  1. Trump’s AI Gambit: Public Land for Private Profit

    by Winston Wendell Donald Trump has pursued one scandalous policy after another in his second term. One of the latest initiatives that perfectly represents the president’s disregard for the public interest in favor of big business. In essence, the policy allows big tech companies to score a decade-long billion-dollar tax break by building AI data centers on public lands. One commentator has summarized the issue by noting that tax breaks are nothing more than a “windfall” given to […]

  5. Hey friends, the government is attempting to roll back legal protections on public lands and historic places. In addition to taking away our voice on what happens to our shared history and lands (literally removing your right to public comment - ?!?!?),

    the proposed changes to Section 106 would directly and severely harm Native people, who already have way too little voice in how their aboriginal lands are treated, and have already lost too much. As an anthropologist I see this up close, fighting every year to keep destructive projects from doing irreparable harm to cultural places. We make this fight with law, and Section 106 is one of very, very few protections we have to stand on. Please believe me when I say we have to stop this one.

They found that the admin had mobilized at least $1.2 billion on no fewer than 18 major projects across the nation’s capital. Here’s everything they learned about their budgetary provenance.

    May 27, 2026 By Art Hughes

    "The #Trump administration is moving to undo a 20-year ban on #OilAndGasDrilling near Chaco Canyon, a place of major cultural significance to #pueblos in the Southwest. The threat of new oil leases on nearly 340,000 acres of #PublicLand surrounding Chaco Canyon has put the site on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s [#NTHP] list of America’s #MostEndangeredSpaces. It is the second time on the same list for the land that is already a protected National Historic Park and a #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite. The moratorium was instituted in 2023 by then-Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, who is a Laguna Pueblo citizen. We’ll hear about the options ahead for the land and the cultural significance it holds."

  30. #Trump has packed both panels with “allies”, putting his executive assistant & other political appointees on the “fine-arts” commission & installing his staff secretary as leader of the #planning commission.

    He personally rejected suggestions to lower the height of the proposed #arch by more than 80 feet, the project’s main architect told the arts commission Thursday.
