And if Trump is allowed to do this, who do you think will be in a position to buy that land? It won't be residents in SW Washington for sure. It will Koch Industries etc.etc.etc. and the people in SW Washington will be the loser in that deal. I quit calling Murray, Cantwell or Perez, I trust the first two to do what they can to stop this, which probably won't be enough. I started calling MAGAt Republicans instead. None of them answer their phones.....ever, so I leave messages. I can't honestly say that it has done a bit of good, they are all cowards. I just don't think we can depend on our elected officials anymore to do the right thing, especially MAGAt's, they've simply gone to far down the rabbit hole to see daylight ever again. But, I will keep calling and hope the universe sees it's way clear to rid us of their influence sooner rather than when it is truly too late, but we are almost at the point of no return. Climate Change will do what it's going to do if we don't get back on track and soon, I fear the red hat MAGAt's won't see the light till they've made things completely impossible to recover from. I'm not in my happy place today...

I listened to a great podcast episode yesterday that had some suggested action items: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-can-do-hard-things/id1564530722?i=1000713520399.

In case that link doesn’t work, it was an interview with Senator Elizabeth Warren who was sharing that the public needs to contact their representatives and tell them what they want. They mentioned going to congress.gov/members where you can type in where you live and find the contact info for your representatives.

The stupidest proposal ever to come out of this idiotic administration. Unless it's to create a distraction while they create something more stupid and destructive. I'd say it's like putting the White House up for sale, but obviously that was already marketed and sold.

My Indian ancestors knew well how to protect Mother Earth. Take from her only what was needed. Do nothing to harm her. Be thankful for all she provided.

For well over 10,000 years, Indians thrived and so did Mother Earth. Then ya'll "Visitors" came along with your plows, axes, and worse greed.

Mother Earth weeps for all the harm caused her and sadly, too few hear her. Or even care.
