  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 […]

  2. 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.

    The newly drained #LincolnMemorial Reflecting Pool’s bottom surface has noticeably faded since it was lined with a “protective” coating in a color #Trump called “American flag blue” this spring.

    With no public accounting of the entire #Trump construction spree, a team of NYT reporters—Luke Broadwater, Marco Hernandez, Junho Lee & Elena Shao—set out to produce 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.

  11. #NativeAmericanCalling - #OilDrilling vs #CulturalPreservation at #ChacoCanyon

    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."

  12. #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.

  13. Thursday’s vote by the Commission of “Fine Arts”, whose job is to vet the design of monuments & other major projects in the capital, represents a key approval as the #Trump White House seeks to begin construction. Another panel that oversees federal #construction projects, the National Capital #Planning Commission, is set to review the proposed design for the #arch June 4.

  14. Grrrr

    Federal commission, packed with #Trump allies, approves his towering triumphal #arch, advancing the project amid public opposition.

    Trump rejected the idea of lowering the structure’s height, an architect said. #Military #veterans have sued to stop the project.

  15. No.

    No, no, no, no, no, no, no muther f⁕⚠︎ers!!!

    #Trump officials say they can build 250-foot #arch without Congress’s okay
    
To build the “triumphal” arch near Arlington Cemetery, the admin wants to rely on a 100-year-old authorization for a different project on the site. Hell no.

    I am so sick of the constant f⁕⚠︎ing bullshit #Congress & the #Judiciary keep letting these asshats get away with!!!

  21. "Bunnings sells timber sourced from NSW Forestry Corporation via a number of local suppliers."

    "The state-owned forestry corporation has been convicted of more than a dozen environmental offences and is facing charges on dozens more. A judgment in the land and environment court last year found the agency was likely to reoffend and had poor prospects of rehabilitation."

    "But The Wilderness Society (TWS) complaint raises concerns that the agency has retained this certification, despite its convictions for environmental offences."

    "Prof David Heilpern, a former magistrate and the dean of law at Southern Cross University who has likened the NSW forestry agency to a “criminal organisation”, said he hoped the TWS complaint would be taken seriously."

    “It arises from the unprecedented situation where a government supplier of a product has been convicted of a series of offences relating to illegal activities on public land."

    #Trump admin says #WhiteHouse #ballroom construction is a matter of #NationalSecurity

    The Trump admin said in a court filing Monday that the president’s White House ballroom construction project must continue for unexplained national security reasons & because a preservationists’ organization that wants it stopped has no standing to sue.
