In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.
Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws"
Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

I do not celebrate any murder.

I do not celebrate the violent death of any human being, nor the loss of any chance for repentance & repair. None.

And those on the right must note that this is the "deal" for which Kirk himself actively advocated.

Pass better gun policy if you don't like murder!

It was a shakedown. The question becomes why are these companies so afraid of fighting back? Will it cost more money? Yes, but then you will have integrity to show the people. You will have trust of the American people. @paramountpictures.bsky.social
