Do you agree that public lands need to stay just that: PUBLIC?
Then contact your reps & congressfolk now, because they are voting to start selling off public lands to the highest bidder.

At midnight on Tuesday, May 6, the House Natural Resources Committee passed legislation for around 460,000 acres of federal public land in Nevada and Utah to be transferred to local governments or sold to private entities. These are primarily National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands.The amendment is part of a sweeping tax cut package. It omits public comment and environmental assessment, leaving the stakeholders, the American people, completely out of the process of how OUR land is managed. If it can happen in Utah and Nevada, it can happen anywhere.

Call or write to your House Representative and remind them that our public lands belong to the American people and they should be protected, not sold. Here is a suggested script:

"I am a constituent calling from (zip code). My name is _______. I am calling to urge (your Representative) to oppose the budget reconciliation bill provision authorizing the sale of public lands. Public lands should be protected and preserved, not sold off to fund tax breaks or for any reason. Public lands belong to the American people!"

(And yes, #LandBack would be better, but let's at least not fucking sell it to private interests!)

Donald Trump’s disregard for the Constitution isn’t just dangerous—it’s disqualifying. It’s time to throw sand in the gears. #StateOfDisunion #14thAmendment

King Trump Is Not Inevitable - Dame Magazine

The campaign is over; the election is done. The cases against Donald Trump—for the theft and improper storage of sensitive and classified government materials; for the effort to obstruct election administration in Georgia; for the attempt to overthrow the government of the United States on January 6, 2021—are wrapping up, unfinished in some cases and

@YellowPup @susiemagoo

Blaming Biden for a supreme court decision and for congress having for 150 years failed to enact legislation enforcing the 14th amendment Section 3 despite the 14th amendment specifically inviting congress to do so?

Christ what an asshole.

@not2b The whole question was whether he could be on the ballot, and that was the discussion and decision. I never heard anyone suggest he was absolved of his disqualification from holding elected office, as Colorado established in a jury decision. The whole point of the section is that an insurrection faction might succeed in electing an insurrection candidate , which is what has happened. Congress is free to vote to remove the disqualification. But if they don't, the disqualification stands.
@not2b That ruling allowed him to be on the ballot, which indeed is not forbidden by the 14th amendment, on the premise that if he won, his disqualification could be cured by the houses of congress, as specified very clearly in the 14th amendment. So when are those votes going to happen? I guess I am going to send reminder postcards to all democratic members of congress. #14thAmendmentSec3 #14thamendment
@heidilifeldman I hope you can find some news about when the houses of congress are going to vote on whether or not Trump can be cured of his 14th Amendment disqualification from holding any elected office in the United States. 2/3 of each house must vote that he can hold office in spite of being an insurrectionist, one found so by a jury, and confirmed by the Colorado SC. Dems need to go to a seminar on playing hardball. #14thamendment
