Donald Trump is extremely mad at @biologicaldiversity.org today for winning a last-minute TRO saving sacred Apache land at Oak Flat from being given to a foreign mining company to destroy.

"Bärenschliffe" means "bear polishes". It's the word for cave rocks smoothed to marble by bears rubbing on or past them over thousands of years.
