If Steve Pearce becomes director of the BLM, it will not be because Western voters demanded it. Polling shows they did not. It will be because the senators who claim to represent them chose to ignore what their constituents have been saying for years. westernwatersheds.substack.com/p/the-west-d...

UPDATE: The judge has NOT yet accepted Cody Roberts’ plea agreement as originally reported. He has only accepted the change of plea to ‘guilty.’ So, stay tuned, and please accept our apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

Protect the Living Legends of the High Desert 🐎 The Kiger wild horses are the wild soul of Oregon and the LAST of their kind. They need our protection! #wildhorses #kigerstrong #fundraising

This is the Way

Burros are the BOMB 😍

There are some landscapes that never quite escape politics. Steens Mountain is one of them. To understand why these allotments remain so politically charged, you have to go back more than a decade.

Wild curly stallion Zorro in Salt Wells Creek, Wyoming. Winter brings out the curls in Zorro, and he is easily distinguished from other black curlies by his bent ear. I don’t see Zorro often but enjoy his big solid presence. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorses

UN Humanitarian Chief Tom Fletcher: “We see a staggering amount of money funding this war spent on destruction while politicians boast about cutting aid budgets for those in greatest need. It breaks my heart that this is being spent on this conflict rather than dealing with the existing caseload.”

volatile love a promise of calm oceans but we bring thunder in our pockets for one fragile moment

Old house stood silent Held witness #spellbound decades of dust. Walls peel pain seeping red rust. Recollections amplified Child’s sobbing heard from afar. Small hearts that wept. Shadows call gather dark. While secrets dream. Most oft of despair than happiness. Its rooms may have seen. #vss365

The Trump administration is increasingly granting ranchers permits to kill endangered Mexican gray wolves, including on public land. A Feb. 19 permit in Catron County, NM reportedly offers little evidence for lethal action yet targets a pack with a possibly pregnant female. 🔗 bit.ly/4sy1lyT

Outlaw is #SouthSteens #wildhorse royalty, grandson of Renegade & Lupine. Four generations of his family came to Skydog Sanctuary when he was a tiny #foal. When Renegade passed, the #mares in his band formed a fierce matriarchy that taught him to swim in ponds, rest among Aspens, run wild & free.

“Wild horse slaughter is opposed by the vast majority of Americans. Yet the federal bureaucracy charged with protecting these animals is moving thousands of them into a marketplace where slaughter is not just possible – it is the most likely outcome.” bit.ly/3NaFXQZ

The guy who snorted cocaine off of toilet seats, tells you Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks are bad for you. 😳

We have advocated for over a year that this murderer be brought to justice. We can hope this judge does the right thing. No matter what, that beautiful little female wolf, is still gone. In the most horrendous way.

Pleading guilty to get a plea deal. Cody is the dregs of the earth.

The Trump administration just got rid of carbon emissions restrictions on cars and trucks—the move will hike up gas prices and repair costs for Americans as greedy fossil fuel companies boost their profits.

​A few lawmakers are using the Congressional Review Act (CRA) in a troubling, unprecedented attempt to clear the way for mining and fossil fuel development.​ Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is under attack in Congress right now. Tell Congress to defend our public lands ⬇️

Please consider letting your voice be heard, in defense of our nations wolves. They are a vital species.

Ping Mai, is wishing all a happy #whiskerwednesday. Try to find some joy. #cats #catsky #catsofbluesky #catpics #meow #housecats

Sunny & Birch were 3 years old when we saved them from a kill pen along with other young #mustangs and #babies. We’ve been gathering evidence to show the Bureau of Land Management is using the Sale Authority (SA) loophole to shuttle #wildhorses into the slaughter pipeline. #animalcruelty

who made this

As the rapid growth of data centers strains the grid and drives up electricity costs, most people in Pennsylvania want the state to lead on clean, affordable energy. The biggest users must pay their fair share and support new clean energy to meet rising demands and keep the lights on for everyone.

Must listen!

Americans rise up against your government.

This is what two faced looks like. Note the date.

Our 9000 acre #sanctuary in #OR is a vibrant, healthy #ecosystem with a myriad of #wildlife happily coexisting with our #herds. This #coyote caught the attention of Bo & Dundee, but they often walk thru the middle of the herds without getting so much as a glance from the #horses.

The president of peace, turns out to actually be the president of war.

Whiskey & Silver, senior #mustangs at the #SantaYnez ranch, were elated to be let out after a long stretch of heavy rain. Their world had turned a thousand shades of green, peppered with puddles for rolling in the mud. #horseheaven

Here are some nice mushrooms

Wild curly stallion Legacy and his mares last summer in Salt Wells Creek. Legacy’s coat is amazing with all the whorls and ripples, texture like crushed velvet even in the summer. Salt Wells Creek has the largest population of wild curly horses. #wildhorses

Can he suck more

Indeed : JOY

The EPA’s move to repeal a longstanding scientific finding that climate change endangers human health will cost lives. Without adequate protections, heatwaves, floods, and other unnatural disasters will get worse, hitting communities of color and low-income families hardest.

I don’t know what Ziggy is contemplating up on his cat tree. But, I know Sookie is not moving off that blanket no matter what he does. #cats #catsky #catsofbluesky #catpics #meow #housecats #Ziggy #Sookie

Of course they let Cody take a plea deal—— wolf hating state.

Of course they do, life of any kind means nothing to grifters.

Here are some nice mushrooms
