If only we hadn’t fired all of the federal employees tasked with managing resource use and recreation on public lands in a sustainable way… In their absence I fear this will just become a giant free for all.

The Make America Beautiful Again panel will be led by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.

Wow! 3.5 million made their voices heard marching today! Thats great! But that’s still only about 1% of us. We can do better! Come on America- No time to be a wall flower!

Endure amidst the current
Be motionless in the tumult
When the shadow descends
Be muscle, be maw, be might
And fend with one's being entire

Too busy to attend his own town hall or to speak to the local news, Rob “Where is” Whittman sent the equivalent of “thoughts and prayers” to Virginians who have lost their jobs or have concerns about the impacts of current administration.

Always better to call or write your own letter. But also better to say something than say nothing because we are busy.

Started morning with 5 CALLS, ended the day with 3000 other concerned citizens at MOVEON online training. While it made me hopeful to see the energy of everyone who showed up, the training was a bit disappointing. MoveOn needs to step up their game, when it comes to trainings, imo.

We must practice joy, or we'll despair. This first time down the North River Gorge, nestled in the George Washington National Forest public lands in western VA on a beautiful winter day, fixed nothing but fed my soul.
