In their place 15 political “state directors,” embedded with the same state officials and industry groups that have long pushed for more logging and fewer protections mirroring the Bureau of Land Management model that public lands advocates have fought for decades.

Headquarters is leaving Washington D.C. for Salt Lake City. All nine regional offices are closing. More than 50 research facilities across 31 states are being eliminated. The regional system the agency has used since its founding in 1907 is gone.

So what else can they destroy while no one is looking? Trump Admin orders dismantling of U.S. Forest Service, moving headquarters to Utah. Every regional office shuttered. All scientists fired and industry lobbyists in control -193 million acres of National Forest now on the literal chopping block.

the president of the United States is a madman seriously damaging the entire world

She's a great cartoonist

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA #NoKings

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with the dumbest, most corrupt president ever in power is a bit like celebrating a wedding anniversary after your spouse murdered all your children and drained your bank accounts.

“Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.” It’s chilling to see the most powerful man in the world bragging that he passed a test that they give people to find out whether they should be allowed to take the bus by themselves. -Stephen Colbert

That’s the amazing Chris Murphy of Connecticut. A true leader and an important voice in the fight to save our democracy.

Trump came out yesterday and said negotiations were happening with Iran, when they weren’t, in order to move the market so his rich friends could profit from it. A president and his friends are profiteering off sending Americans to die in a war. How low can you go?

March 31 --the so-called God Squad set to do away with more wildlife protections. They reduce predators so there are more prey animals for hunters. Seasons lengthened for bears so hunters can make them into rugs. Pictured "big guy" my friend for 10 years. I don't know if he survived last falls hunt.

How much is gas where you are? Mine is "Donald Trump raped children and he’s all over the Epstein Files”.

Homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner. It’s still all about the comfort food because It’s still not dead yet.

Mainlining the lies.

5,000 Marines are going to the desert to fight a war, Trump's going to Palm Beach to fight the greens.

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

Next week's cover of The New Yorker. "War-a-Lago" by Barry Blitt.

The Trump Administration can’t even impose its will on Minneapolis when the full force of the federal government was focused on it, but surely they will be able to pacify and remake Iran, a nation of 90 million people halfway around the world.

Platner on trump’s WAR‼️

Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has admitted this is a regime change war. He did this without congressional authorization. This is an unconstitutional action. Worse, he clearly has no plan for what comes next. It’s a Mad King war.

Welp

I watched the deranged orange one walk to the helicopter then asked about Cuba. He says they have no fuel or food, very bad we will be taking over Cuba soon. Nobody asks a single question and it is never mentioned on follow-up news. Or any news all day. What the hell! That seems a big deal to me.

Happy Friday! ☕️☀️😎🎵🌸💗

ICE continues to be all around MN and WI. They have moved out to rural areas. they are not gone. We have a large Somali Community who were brought here to work at the turkey plant because local people didn't want to do the job. Hard working people have been here 20 years, now treated like crap.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has invited both teams to his office for a photo op. He felt bad for the American women's team not going to the White House. Safer in his office than in trumps...

Not gonna watch #StateoftheUnion Wait for the lowlights.

"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. Helen Keller

His blood pressure has got to be through the roof right now, so if anyone has a chance to ask him an aggressive question about the Epstein files, that really could make It happen today. Come on, reporters. We'll build statues in your honor.

Undocumented immigrants don’t vote Trump was not “exonerated” re: Epstein The board of peace is a huge grift The Melania movie was a bribe You pay the tariffs The boat bombings are murder The ceasefire is not a ceasefire Ice is not targeting criminals And on and on

“‘I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,’ Pritzker said. ‘We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.’”

Early studies suggest versions of mRNA vaccines could be effective against certain kinds of cancer too. Now companies will have to wonder if the animus towards mRNA vaccine will spill over into those efforts too. Great, just great.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

I'm a baker---I make people sweet treats like these semlor buns. I just can't believe how the vile orange dictator has not only NOT lowered any grocery prices but actually made everything cost double. He's always putting the squeeze on the small person trying to make a living. We are almost Russia.

Minneapolis now has daily deportation flights. One man has been documenting them - NPR Documenting the deportation flights that leave Minnesota each day www.npr.org/2026/02/06/n...

Word is home building is at a standstill in MN and WI no new starts, because all the crews are gone-arrested, deported. A Mexican crew did my roof, arrived at sunrise didn't leave until sunset and they brought music and joy to work with them. Wonderful hard working crew. I made them cinnamon rolls.

Minus 20 degrees, sunrise over the bear den. Peaceful.

If you thought that electing Trump would make America respected you’re an idiot.

It is February. It's the powerful against everyday people. The Mexican restaurants near me are closed. People are taken and others afraid to come to work. I will never understand the hatred of immigrants. I'm longing for my bears to wake up. Bears in my woods have more respect for others than ICE.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Republicans in Congress get very brave after they announce their retirement.

We really are experiencing an authoritarian regime.

For years rightwingers have been saying everyone needs guns, everyone needs as much ammo as they want and they need to be able to carry it because of the government. Now the gov kills Pretti and 'orange Hitler' says he shouldn't have had a gun and 2 clips make it worse. MAGA are total hypocrites.

I grew up in Minneapolis as did two generations before me -just blocks from the murders. Ruthless Nazi murderers occupy the area with no empathy for anyone. There is a video that shows one of the ICE laughing and saying "just like call of duty" at the time of Pretti's death. It's all a game to them.

Call the piece of legislation that ultimately abolishes ICE the Pretti-Good Act
