A great suggestion for the Forest Service employees in your life.

Odds are they won’t ask for help, and will try just tough it out by sheer force of will and determination 🤠

Don’t let them do that.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

Support staff for wildfires have been decimated. This directly ties to the points made about some of the flaws in thinking about a Wildland fire service. It just isn’t that simple.

🦬 Congress enacted NEPA in 1969
🦬 Trump revoked CEQ’s authority to implement‼️
🦬 Proposed rule states “courts and commenters” have raised questions about CEQ’s authority
🦬 Trump is not king; courts & commenters are not Congress
🦬 CEQ must address overwhelming public comment when issuing a final rule
🚨ALERT🚨

Sorry to ask, but P2025 had years to prep; we have <30 days to #resist.

First they came for our staff, now they’re after our laws.

Please take a moment to comment today on this truly brazen attempt to evade environmental laws on the books since 1960.
