  1. :boost_ok: Hey All! Remember my former posts on Roadless Rule? Yeah, well, after almost two years of fighting to keep it, it's now been recommended to rescind it and there are 16 days left to comment on it! We succeeded before and the US government has kept it this long, and WE CAN AGAIN!

    (Warning: this will take some time as comments must be unique to count, BUT it will be a 3-for-1, so well worth it! Please keep reading for details!)

    WHAT IT IS: it is a rule to prevent building of roads in wild spaces, protecting millions of acres from development. "They" want to rescind it to "make it easier to fight wildfires by developing road access". This is dumb because most wildfires in public lands start (r)*near roads* because of human involvement in the creation. Why do they *actually* want to get rid of this rule? Because then public lands can be developed for easy road access, which means mining, logging, and more can occur.

    HOW TO WRITE A COMMENT: roadless.org/ is an *excellent* resource. Please see it. It will probably take 30 minutes to an hour of your time to research what you want to say, write and submit a comment. They also have a "comment workspace" option along top bar, which lets you input things important to you, and helps you write your comment. A good option if you lack spoons.
    If you know what to say, here is the direct submission option: regulations.gov/document/FS-20

    Over 92,000 comments have been made, let's push it over 100,000!

    IN ADDITION! Your same comment can be easily edited to send to congress to ask them to cosponsor the Roadless Area Conservation Act. Beating the rescission on the record is the immediate fight — the lasting effect runs through Congress. The Act (H.R. 3930 / S. 2042) would write the rule into federal law, beyond any single administration's reach to repeal it by regulation again.

    You can also send your comment to your senators and congressfolk so they know your stance.

    Thus, one write up, one use of your time, can help us, help the world on *three* different fronts!

    (r) this is an open access study about wildfire on public lands in the US, finding wilderness and roadless areas are the least likely to experience wildfire: link.springer.com/article/10.1

  5. Green Mountain
    Gunnison National Forest, CO

    I don't think they were being ironic. There are volumes of green clay on those barren slopes. Many abandoned mines down through the valley.

  10. In this case, #Trump has proposed building a 250-foot triumphal #arch near #ArlingtonNationalCemetery that he has said must be taller than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris [penis envy]. He has said the arch is meant to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, though he has also said that the arch is for himself [it’s the latter].

  15. The rush to push ahead with work on the #arch follows a familiar pattern for #Trump. He has frequently embarked on large-scale changes to #historic properties in Washington without approvals from #Congress or anyone else. Trump last year abruptly tore down the historic East Wing of the White House after saying he would not touch the building.

    #Trump is breaking ground on his 250-foot-tall “triumphal” #arch, before a review panel has approved the project.

    #DougBurgum, the #interior secretary, announced plans to start work on the site of the 250-foot-tall triumphal arch. Final approval of the project is still pending.

  25. 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. […]

  26. The #BLM is proposing major changes to grazing regulations that govern millions of acres of public lands across the West. Now is the time to speak up for wildlife, water, recreation, and public involvement. Comments close July 13.
