The Gila Cliff Dwellings. A national monument in the Gila National Forest. The volunteers that keep it clean and are so informative were fantastic. #1 on my hierarchy of outrages: the possible loss of our public lands. #nps

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a US legal resident, has a family here, a judge ordered he not be sent to El Salvador, was deported in error, and SCOTUS has ordered him returned.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

I know a Russian man, we see each other for a few minutes occasionally. Yesterday I finally asked him what he thinks of Putin. “IDIOT! INSANE!” He went on to say that there was never “Russians n Ukrainians”. “ We are all brothers”.

Donald lied to Americans and said he signed an EO to “open the lever” so that beautiful water can flow down to LA. BUT they drained 2 reservoirs whose water might save farmers in the summer. All for optics.

Kristi Noem staunchly stands behind Trump & his GOP’s vicious threats to withhold disaster relief from victims of wildfires in Southern California—playing politics w/ people’s suffering.
