Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

Nice paid ad NYT. I’m guessing it supplements all the cancelled subscriptions.

But also, imagine needing shitty internet goggles just to see the beauty in the world around you! Picture in your head the poverty of soul required to gaze across a million billion miles of miracles and merely shrug! If you need a robot to live for you, then you are already dead.

it’s not even an outrageous claim to say this. this is what they want. this peter thiel backed operation praxis nation is openly stating this as their goal. the front man of praxis nation is currently the US ambassador to Denmark, and is the same guy who pushed the “let’s buy greenland” story
