In 2024, we hit a record high for extracting crude oil on public lands, averaging 13.4 million barrels per day—the highest in history. The PLR and energy coexisted with little issue.
So, why would we do away with the PLR? And why, as a conservation-minded community, are we not angry about it?

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Trump is the only president with a net negative record on public land protections—and he’s at it again. As a hunter and a member of the working class, this should piss you off.
Act accordingly.

Do not let anyone gaslight you into thinking Republicans are the party of hunting and conservation. The Great American Outdoors Act was not a Republican victory—of the 107 votes against it, 106 were Republicans and one was an Independent. The left has always upheld and created conservation policy.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

I’m tired of hunting being associated with Ted Nugent rather than Aldo Leopold. But hunting culture has only itself to blame. The mediocrity of so-called “bipartisanship” perpetuates a narrative for right-wing media while ignoring that it’s all built on progressive policy. I’m working to change that
