Washington Sun: Inside Trump’s Aggressive Push to Build Data Centers on Public Lands. “The Bureau of Land Management has asked its state directors to identify public land ripe for data center development, according to two people familiar with the request, and those leaders have compiled lists for Interior Department leadership.”

Twenty-Five Dollars and a Signature
The mark is called a freeze brand. Liquid nitrogen chills an iron until the cold kills the color in the hair, and the government writes a registration code in white along the left side of the neck of every wild horse it removes from the range. The brand exists so that a mustang can be identified as a protected animal of the United States for the rest of its life, at any distance, in any light. In August of 2026, the place where you can read those white characters most clearly is the dirt lot of a livestock auction yard, on horses standing quietly beside the trucks that run south.

Golden hike in the Weminuche Wilderness. This is the time of year when silence and colours settle into a daily routine. When loneliness becomes a quiet luxury.

The Case for Returning U.S. #PublicLands to #IndigenousPeople
by Joe Whittle, Mar 6, 2025
"Since the start of Trump’s second term, his administration has fired thousands of federal workers across multiple public lands agencies, including the National Park Service, the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The effects of this are vast: It’s going to have a profoundly negative impact on the environment and the way millions of Americans enjoy public lands, cause immeasurable harm to America’s wildest places, and devastate the economies built around them.
"After serving 12 years as a backcountry wilderness ranger for the U.S. Forest Service, I'm convinced there is an alternative: the U.S. needs to return its public lands to Native Americans. In fact, I believe that might be the only way to save our parks and forests from corporate privatization and destruction, as well as preserve public access to them. If the U.S. won’t properly care for its public lands, why not return them to their original caretakers?
"This isn’t a new idea. #NativeAmericans argued that treaty law required
'abandoned' federal land to be returned to tribes during the occupation of #Alcatraz Island by the #AmericanIndianMovement in the 1960s. In more recent years, the #LandbackMovement has given rise to increased calls for the return of territorial land to #IndigenousNations, and the return of land management based in #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge—expertise gathered from thousands of years of having deep relationships with specific environments. There’s a strong legal argument that land return is constitutionally required as damages due for hundreds of treaty violations. However, there’s also a lot of data showing Indigenous land management is more ecologically sound than government or industrially managed land. For instance, #ProjectDrawdown, a global leader in science-based #ClimateChange solutions, estimates that returning 1,000 million hectares of land to Indigenous tenureship by 2050 would sequester over 12 gigatons of carbon dioxide."Read more:

In 2009, I set out on my first solo road trip across the American Southwest. These four images were taken in the Painted Desert, inside Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park. I was just beginning my journey into photography — and even if these early shots have technical flaws, they mark the moment I started to see the world differently.

#Trump administration moves to #repeal a #Biden era rule that sought to #protect millions of acres of #publiclands from twin threats of #climatechange and #industrial development. Proposal from #BLM would prioritize the use of public lands for #oil and #gas #drilling, #coalmining, timber production and #livestock grazing. Biden administration, in contrast, had championed their use for #conservation, #recreation and #renewableenergy development. #climatecrisis #nature #resources #fossilfuels

@dougiec3 This is about depleting our collective wealth, environmental and spiritual by claiming to reduce national debt through transferring the parks and forests to the rich elite.

My second day backpacking the South Egan Range Wilderness, I climbed up the high point in the morning. That's Adams benchmark. Then I got back to Ninemile Canyon for water, then traveled down to Sheep Pass Canyon and found camp on a small branch.
