Something will have gone out of us as a people if we ever let the remaining wilderness be destroyed . . . One means of sanity is to retain a hold on the natural world.

Gosh, this seems like something for CN to be thankful for. Park Hill caught my eye in Chief Hoskin's post because my dad was born there long ago. I have so much to learn.
At long last, the historic Park Hill Mission (Worcester) cemetery is in the hands of #CherokeeNation, acquired from our friends at the Oklahoma Historical Society. #Thankful #Restoration #IndianCountry

Commentary: When the Trump administration requested that Colorado transfer custody of Tina Peters from the state to the federal government, there was only one plausible response: Not in a million years. But Gov. Jared Polis seems to have a different idea.

Colorado drivers have spent more than $1 million on “born to be wild” license plates that support ranchers and wolves
Colorado drivers have spent more than $1 million on “born to be wild” license plates that support ranchers and wolves
With over 5 million registered rigs on the road, that might sound like a “meh” statistic. But the plate has raised critical funds for Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s non-lethal mitigation program.

Adding these to the list of things I’ve learned today… the RCKI’s were singing in the sunshine as they always do when they first show up... That’s always so badass to hear… and… I can whistle through the gap in my teeth well enough to piss one off with my RCKI impersonation. 👀😂🪶

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

The basic truths that escape “both sides.”
Since January 2023, the New York Times has cited Rep. Ralph Norman, R-SC, in 78 stories. None mentioned that Norman secretly urged the Trump White House in 2021 to declare martial law – in effect, a military-backed coup. Norman wasn’t charged, but the NYT gave him a “pardon” anyway.
