Hi! I'll make a video that includes all four of the federal register comment items and will tag you all, will stay tuned for your suggested comments and direct people to your language and source you in the video. Keep me posted! I'm devastated, but we slug it out.

Thanks for your vigilance on these issues

Thanks, guys, as always. Good reporting on ugly news. 😤What hideous monsters from hell these “people” are! To think you can destroy the health of the planet and still enjoy your stuffed pockets as if it’s a video game. So enraging! 🤬

It’s just depravity. Soulless depravity.

Exactly right.

I know that this criminal regime masquerading as an administration is lawless, and as such, lawsuits and court rulings are not necessarily going to stop them. But, they're still one of the best tools we have short of massive public resistance and uprising. Sadly, these monsters are launching so many attacks, on so many fronts, that most people are either burying their heads in the sand or they're unable to even keep up to date.

As you pointed out, Center for Biological Diversity has been a leading ally in fighting back against these abhorrent and unlawful attacks. I've been donating whatever little I can to their organization, as well as Earthjustice, NRDC, Sierra Club, FOTE and others in the environmental arena. I've also been submitting comments, making calls, writing letters, and encouraging others to do so as well.

Anybody who can spare a little money, time, or both, I strongly encourage you to consider helping these organizations out. Both CBD and NRDC have been filing lawsuits, and winning them, like crazy since Trump was reinstalled.

Finally, thank you guys for the work you're doing here! It truly gives me a shred of hope in an otherwise dark, corrupted moment to be alive. I hope to be able to help support you too in the near future...

Project 2025. How long before the whole country is private property owned by oligarchs, domestic and foreign?

Jim Pattiz's avatar

At the rate they're going, not long!

I get why corporate media doesn’t want to report this morally bankrupt regime’s destruction of wildlife and wild places. But I don’t hear much from independent media either. WTF?

John Christopher's avatar

Yes!!! and I am constantly angered by such

jobyhawk's avatar

Me too. It’s inexcusable.

These hideous men know what they are doing. Their killing and stealing our earth’s treasures for only their wealth.

Thanks for the fire alert! I report to 58 enviro and community groups in CO and I’ll share you proposed comments with our members and allies and urge everyone to take a minute to support the public record efforts. Colorado cares!

This is just brutal. I will make sure to comment ASAP. By chance do you know where i can find an up-to-date list of the endangered species that are at risk? It might be easier to appeal to the masses if we show the faces of the creatures that will be wiped from the face of the earth as a result.

Jim Pattiz's avatar

Great question Shar. I'll poke around and see if I can find one.

How do his fans find anything likable in him?

Liberty Luminary's avatar

They don’t get proper info. They read propaganda and believe the lies.

Christine's avatar

Yet another fresh hell we have to deal with from the MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN THIS NATIONS HISTORY.

Jim Pattiz's avatar

Correct on all counts.

Paul R's avatar

Thank you for this summary of catastrophe in the making. I was not aware until I read your substack. I have emailed both of my Senators and my Representative to oppose these changes, if they are able. I included a link to this substack post.

Jim Pattiz's avatar

Thanks Paul!

Kathy  Welch's avatar

NOOOOO!!! We’ve fought so hard for endangered creatures. Some are making a good comeback. This cannot be tolerated!!

Kathy  Welch's avatar

Agree completely!!!!

Johann Schott's avatar
