THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

OMG💀. One of the Vancouver alt radio stations I listen to has changed to be throwback hits. It only plays 90s and 2000s. I just did the math and it’s the same as my dad listening to 50s/60s oldies in the late 80s 😭😭😭

Though the vibe is not quite the same as the 50/60s songs when the first 2 song they played were Nelly Ride w/ Me and Xtina Diirty 😂

I will say it has me pumped up to start my work day.

Dodgers vs. Padres | June 18, 2025

The US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined. We're pumping huge amounts of money to the defense industry as Republicans plan devastating cuts to the social safety net through their budget bill. It does not have to be this way. This is all a policy choice.

16th June, 2025: welcome back two-way player, shohei ohtani!

Trump is not the "peace president." He's a president of chaos and destruction — which he unleashes to distract from his draconian agenda. The more chaos Trump and his MAGA allies create, the more pessimistic Americans feel about the capacities of our democratic institutions to govern the nation. Understand what's going on here.

We have a urology group that is called Pacific Northwest Urology Specialists

They totally picked that name just so they can write in all their notes follow up with PNUS. The hospitalist love coming in and saying they need to consult PNUS.

It's cruel nativism and racism on full display. Trump wants to feel powerful, so he's launching a war inside America on some of our most vulnerable people.

Understand what's really going on here.

The man who launched an attempted coup on the United States in 2020 and instigated an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths now claims that people in Los Angeles are launching an insurrection. They’re not. Trump doesn’t give a damn whether the troops are necessary. Nor does he care how many people are injured or even killed in his raid on Los Angeles. The show of military force is the point. It gives him the appearance of power. Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. Humiliated by China, Harvard, the Supreme Court, Elon Musk, and the federal courts, Trump has launched a war inside America on vulnerable people inside America, in a place — California — most of whose inhabitants loathe him. All of this was manufactured by Trump. It was and is his creation. The frightful specter of federally controlled troops in American streets has historically signaled a social crisis — forcing integration in Arkansas, protecting civil rights marchers in Alabama. But Trump is sending the military to Los Angeles at a time when state and local officials say there is no need. Let’s be clear: Trump and his lackeys want blood in the streets. They have been planning for it. The central struggle of civilization has always been to stop brutality. Unless we prevent the stronger from attacking or exploiting the weaker, none of us is safe. A civil society is the opposite of what Trump seeks. A civil society doesn’t allow the strong to brutalize the weak. It moves as far as possible away from brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook: Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Unless the bullies are stopped, an entire society — even the world — can descend into chaos. Our duty is to stop brutality. Our responsibility is to hold the powerful accountable. Our challenge is to stand up to abuses of power. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable. This week and through Saturday, protest but please do it peacefully. Do not be provoked into violence. Take videos of any brutality Trump’s agents are wreaking, to show the rest of America and the world. Be smart. Be careful.
