Child of Omelas? That’s thinking too small. What if like eight billion people suffered so a few dozen guys could live lives so insane they convinced themselves it’s more likely they’re inside a computer simulation

Outdoor Alliance made a fantastic tool to write your legislators.
In the last few days, the outdoor recreation community—skiers, hunters, hikers, paddlers, climbers, everyone who loves the outdoors—have come together to send nearly 400,000 letters to lawmakers with a clear message: Our public lands are not for sale!
Tell the Senate NO to Public Land Sell Offs
TAKE ACTION! The Senate wants to sell off 3.3 million acres of public land. That’s 4x the size of Rhode Island. The outdoor community stopped land sales before. We need your voice again.

Any hope that red state voters will notice/care?
This article highlights how brutal fund slashing at the U.S. Forest Service ends up harming our state partners.
“…a 75% reduction in KFS services would come as a result of the cuts, including a possible reduction in staff. The agency currently employs 42 full-time workers and 50 part-time staff.”

KS forestry officials are worried this week as looming federal cuts could impact their ability to fight wildfires and support the state’s green spaces. https://www.ksnt.com/news/local-news/everyone-is-overwhelmed-kansas-forest-service-at-risk-of-80-funding-loss-layoffs-with-proposed-federal-cuts/

Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall has blamed the turmoil that erupted at a recent town hall meeting in rural Kansas on “paid Democratic operatives.” But the people who attended say they are just Kansans concerned about funding cuts, layoffs & more.
