Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service

Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.

@AvacadoAvenger but then it will be too late. Welcome to the rapid decay of your wildlife and countryside. These buffoons have only their greed to satisfy; it will be fed by the forest fires.

@connynasch I am really hoping when this gets out into the alternative press that people will mobilise and literally bury the politicians in emails faxes and phone calls. This adminstration is lawless and corrupt from the very top on down and the supposed lawmakers in Congress are complicit in ALLOWING and ENABLING these types of ridiculous acts to stand without challenge. Not just no but HELL NO. We need the forests protected.
