TW// This is what wolf hunting really looks like.

In Idaho & Wyoming, it’s legal nearly year-round. Montana may be next. These states are choosing politics over science—and wolves are paying the price.

Don’t let this become the national norm. Take action at teamwolf.org .

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

NEW: A source with direct knowledge of the matter says that Trump has been relentlessly trash-talking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz since the horrific news of the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman broke.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

All it takes to be an #AltCitizen is to speak up to say “this is not right.”

The "Fix Our Forests Act" is set to do just the opposite: open protected lands to logging, bypass environmental reviews, privatize YOUR public lands, and silence public input.

Spread the word, call your senators, and make it known that this bill cannot go any further!

On May 23, President Trump signed an executive order he’s calling a “restoration of gold standard science.” But don’t be fooled, this is not about scientific integrity. It’s about political control.

The order gives Trump’s political appointees sweeping power over federal science. They can now:

A new peer-reviewed study confirms what ranchers and ecologists on the ground have known for years: nonlethal tools don’t just protect wolves—they protect cattle, too.

Lethal methods cut risk by 39%.

Yellowstone wolves aren’t just ecologically vital—they’re an $82M+ tourism draw.

But as more people flock to see them, wolves face new risks. Can we reduce this and help local economies by ethically expanding wolf tourism?

I’m going to need your help on this.

This affects #AllOfUs.

Forest Service R&D touches every community.

Our homes.

Our clean air.

Our clean water.

Our green canopy.

Our verdant forestland.

I expect @nffe-fsc.bsky.social to be on it, fighting for union brothers & sisters in R&D.

Stay tuned ✊
Heavy stuff.

The Regime desires to completely eliminate the Forest Service’s R&D division.

Shocking.

R&D is statutorily mandated.

R&D is part and parcel to management of the forests.

It’s how we keep communities & firefighters safe.

How we plan for the future.

This is wrong.

And unlawful.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

A man in Ohio shot his neighbor’s 1-year-old dog Floppy, posed for a trophy photo, & removed her tongue. He claimed she “looked wild.”

This is what happens when anti-wolf mindsets spiral. If we don't protect our dog's ancestors, both wolves AND our dogs will be at risk.

Today’s the day to fight for wild places as an #AltCitizen.

Bob Marshall started in 1925 as forester in the U.S. Forest Service.

He died in 1939 aged 38 years, but not before spearheading the Wilderness Society.

Today there are 803 Wilderness Areas, including Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana.

House GOP “trying to advance Trump’s entire agenda—from massive logging on public lands to slashing Medicaid—in one giant bill under a process known as ‘budget reconciliation,’ which means it cannot be filibustered in the Senate.”

They know it’s unpopular.

So they’re voting at 0100, 5/21.
