I'm not usually buying the "he's desperate!" and "they're coming undone!" clickbait. But I can't deny that offering files on space aliens seems like a desperation move. So go ahead and lambaste that guys.

This is a really important issue. Trump and cronies are trying to privatize public lands-- our lands-- to be exploited by the wealthy. Please call senators and ask them to vote NO on H Res 140 next week.

This afternoon, Heather Cox Richardson talked on YouTube about the Congressional Review Act, and how Trump wants to use it to sell off our public lands.

She urges everyone to contact Congressional Reps to let them know we won't stand for this. Here's the scoop:

A “new attack” on Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument would “set a national precedent with no public input that could upend public lands protection for years,” writes Stephen Trimble in an op-ed.

The Trump Administration wants to let a foreign mining company pollute the pristine Boundary Waters.

And if Republicans succeed in abusing the CRA—the Congressional Review Act—to force a win for big polluters, ALL of our public lands are at risk.

I'm a HELL NO on selling out our public lands.

Our public lands are our shared inheritance, and that includes the Boundary Waters.

Stand with Teddy Roosevelt’s family – speak out to protect what belongs to all of us.

Just a heads up here, when you say “Oh Chloe you’re smart not like those other people in Pennsyltucky, the other dumb backward people in Scranton” this is insulting! You’re insulting me. You’re insulting my home. You’re insulting people I know and care about.
February 19, 2026 at 9:26 AM
It's weird how someone can insult you, but if you object to being insulted, you're considered the one being impolite. What's that about?

The left [gesturing widely in a way that’s hard to pin down what I’m gesturing to] needs to take AI [gesturing more vaguely] seriously or something [moving both arms now] something will happen I think

Have to agree with Gil Duran who said: "Any politician taking money from crypto or speaking well of crypto is one of the bad guys."
Read this sentence slowly:

“Gov. Gavin Newsom, crypto executives and business leaders are ramping up efforts this week to stop the proposed wealth tax...”
