Another reason Fascism will ruin tourism. Not just international tourism, but their own domestic as well. Not to mention, stealing of land from Americans.
This must be stopped!
This land is your land. This land is my land.
Why?
Wow, MAGA. Do you think this makes America "great" again?
Are you from PDX? Me WA state mama 😑
I predict Black Rock buys all the good land.
The new IRS head is a former auctioneer by trade.
Screw them..I don’t want to sell. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
And then if that happens they'll charge admission that is unaffordable for most people. Or they'll mine it.
How about we change course?... Let's auction off the NO Good, Worthless, POS Rethuglicans?!... Send them to Working Farms in Outer Mongolia where we will never have to deal with their Corruption and IGNORANCE again!
I'd rather just vote them all out but that requires more of the American people to get involved! youtu.be/OKkE5oMm9vQ?...
And every single one of those states voted for Trump. They are having second thoughts now.
No way!!! Where are the money going to, straight to their accounts !!! These lands doesn’t belong to them!!! It belongs to all of us , the Americans!!!
I heard there was talk about a "sovereign wealth fund" that could buy crypto. So yeah they'd profit.
This is policy and should require 60 votes to proceed
To mining companies and developers. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Trump and his billionaire goons, would be behind buying it secretly as a hidden company, which could be tracked and charged, for all the good that would do, trumps been charged and ran for President because crooked judges are pussy’s and scared of him with Musks money
The GOP is acting on behalf of their oligarchs like a private equity that has taken over a long standing company. Fire the workers, sell the real estate & data, weigh it down with maximum debt extracted as profit for themselves, and then walk away as it collapses.
Exactly. That’s what’s happened to my hospital system. And it’s happening to the US
It's what has happened to nearly all big brands that have disappeared since 2000, along with close to a thousand newspapers or new organizations.

Horrifying

Is the sale going to Putin or Netanyahu?
Noooooooooooooo
The information I saw is that it is 268 million acres across 11 states.
Disgusting 😡
Billionaires appear to be the worst of us with a few exceptions.
Trump & Co launched corporate raid on US Govt. Now selling off valuable assets, public lands, USPS vehicles, anything to move public resources (our taxes) into private hands & bankrupt US govt. GOP trinity: raw power, money, & unenlightened self-interest. They seek to rule, not to govern.
They're following the private equity guidebook. Take over a long standing company, fire the workers, sell the data and real estate, weigh it down with debt extracted for themselves as profit, then walk away as it collapses.

We must fight this! Everyone needs to email and call their Senators!
to clarify this concern, WA Senator Cantwell sent us this .. Senate Republicans have a different idea for these lands – their latest proposal calls for selling off more than 250 million acres of public lands, including over 5 million acres here in Washington.
Idiots
While they are at it, they need to cut out the funding to build concentration camps. Planned to be built on military& those lands after sold to foreign interests/governments, so that they would be extraterritorial, and outside of US law or jurisdiction. As H-tl-r did in Poland. & cut icy bill $! #3E
Washington State Steven pass the Cascades. Simply awful
Absolutely ridiculous. Shameful.
NO!!!!!!!
If need be. When the traitors flee, your crimes will be forgiven.
Democrats should probably put put out a warning to those that would like to invest "When we take OUR land back, you will understand that you have been conned by an illiterate."
This is Bonkers ! Why would they do this!’ These parkas and land belong to the people! No way will we let this happen!
Sorry meant Parks!!
It’s sad, but true they will do that because they are Republicans in control. They don’t care about anything but money. Just like taco he only cares about money. Being the richest, most powerful, and in his mind and in his mind, the most like.
Gross.
Wish I would've gotten to see them before they're destroyed.
Damn Damn Damn Call your Senators, People! Even (especially) the Republican ones. Tell them this is unacceptable. 202-224-3121
Ugh. These chucklefucks in power 🤬 Beautiful photos, by the way.
You know there are real estate brokers putting together packages and presentations to the tech bro billionaires showing them various trophy ranches they could put together.

I grew up singing "This land is my land, this land is your land...This land belongs to you and me." True if you and me have millions to purchase it, I guess.
This land belongs to Musk and Zuckerberg.🤑
They’re not selling land—they’re selling the soul of a nation. These forests, rivers, and peaks belong to all of us, not corporations. Call your senators. Raise hell. Our silence is their green light
And for what..to screw generations just to pay for the stupid bill. Short sighted is a kind definition of this bullshit
And the only things they are paying for in this bill is tax cuts for the filthy rich, the military industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about and ICE. All things we'd be much better off without.
Yep. Money for me.... Screw thee form of government. Sad

Poor people can’t buy land. So we need public lands for ALL to enjoy. Everyone needs to be able to enjoy nature. Not just billionaires. Stop all sales!
Heh. The billionaires don't wanna enjoy nature. They want to destroy it in their quest to make money.

😞
Indeed 💔💔💔
Do you suppose they're intending the funds derived from the sale of the land to somehow help offset, in some measure, the mammoth tax cuts the 1% are receiving courtesy of the bill? So they'll sacrifice irreplaceable nature so billionaires can buy another yacht. Not how I'd prefer we use public land
accountable.us/accountable-...
No, they’ll buy public lands with the tax breaks they get. It’s a virtuous circle! To those fuckers, anyways.
Per. Month. 3 MILLION PER MONTH www.wilderness.org/articles/blo...
Democrats will have to buy it back at 10x the price….
This should not be legal.
I talked to senator Ricketts about this he doesn't care because it's not in our state yet
NOOOOOOOO 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I was under the impression that national parks and protected lands were indeed off limits. Shaking my head.
It allows sale of 258 million acres!
Hell no
F#KKK these corporations. They're destroyers . God did not give these Christofascists the right to destroy the earth that keeps regenerating life.
And where does the money go once the sale occurs? 🤔
"Redirected to the general treasury." I'm sure they'll do the honorable thing and use it to fund programs and services that help people, right? 🤦♀️ (Side note - thank you for finding an answer!)
You're welcome! They're going to use as much of this as they can to pay for billionaires to get another tax cut. We MUST stop the sell-off of these priceless lands or they'll be gone for good.
I'm less than an hour's drive from Timberline Lodge. The LAST thing we need in that area is developers coming in & turning it into their personal play area/cash cow! Ditto Crater Lake. 🤬
I live 180 miles east of Mt. Hood in Eastern Oregon. Oregon doesn't need developers ruining our beautiful state. HB 2410 would put a nuclear power plant in my county along the Columbia River. It is stuck in committee, thankfully. We don't need it either.
My husband says Mt Hood Meadows, his favorite snowboarding park, is included in the federal land sale.
The sooner the American empire collapses the better off the world will be
🤬
Seems all the senators are for sale as well.
The GOP is unfit to serve.
🤮🤮🤮
I can deal with a lot. This is one of those times where I just can’t deal with this. It’s beyond irresponsible

Thanks for sharing this article!
Very effective meme, Janny, but so sad. 💔💔💔
The proposed sale of public land & decimation of our national parks makes me sick. Our national parks are a treasure. It has been my goal to visit all the national parks in retirement. Now, I wonder if there will be National Parks, Public Monuments, & public lands to visit at all, anymore!
Call or write your Congressmen - any state. Let others who may be interested in this issue know - boaters, campers, hikers, scouting, local nature groups and have them call this week. (202)224-3121 us Capitol Switchboard
Ready for a serf protest because that is how we are seen.
Sadly, yes. But it helps me be sane and connects me with others of like mind.
Muskville, Bezosland, and Zuckerberg. They will buy it all.
Only in America… where, we the stupid, keeping thinking we will be billionaires tomorrow so we keep giving away what is ours today. (And our children’s tomorrow) The scam and moronic are real.
And, once sold, it’s gone forever.
There is a solution… History teaches us people only take so much… BUT, They didn’t have Fox or NewsMax back then.
This would be heartbreaking. Devastating ‼️this would never ever happen here in Canada ‼️ our parks are sacred. We take care of them.
Ours used to be, then politicians became so greedy that there wasn't enough to stop the money from leading them down the wrong path. I hope every nation on the planet learns from this. Let ONLY the voters donate to politicians & then to a hard cap so THE PEOPLE are who politicians owe their jobs to.
I cannot fathom that, struggling hard. It's armageddon, everywhere. I mourn the country I once loved so much.
Let every buyer know, when this is over we will not buy back what you bought! We will TAKE it back! You will not be paid !!!!! Your taxes will mot be refunded. You will be rapists of our land and therefore without rights!!!!!
If Trump can’t see it from the window of his limo, he doesn’t give a shit
That's the truth!
Republicans have little regard for the majesty and sanctity of nature.
It’s 294 million acres at stake, btw
Call Nat Resources committee. Tell them you see right thru this. It’s not about affordable housing. That’s a bunch of rot. Mike lee is the chair. That tells you what you need to know. Montana gets a pass??? WHY? Ask this question
Washington, Oregon, California and New Mexico didn’t vote for Trump. The rest did. If they lose the paradise they have enjoyed for many years, they deserve it. The rest of us don’t deserve to lose it though.
🤬🤬🤬
💯 This is important!
Selling off 3.3 million acres of public land isn’t policy—it’s surrender. These lands are our legacy, not a line item. Once gone, they’re gone forever.
Lake Tahoe. Mammoth Lakes. Grand Teton forests. These aren’t just places—they’re the soul of America. Auctioning them off is an insult to every generation that came before and every one to come.
Public lands are not for sale. They are for stories, for solitude, for stewardship. To trade them for corporate gain is to sell off our identity.
This isn’t conservation vs. development. It’s character vs. convenience. Do we still believe in a country where the land belongs to the people?
We don’t inherit the land from our ancestors—we borrow it from our children. What will they say when they find we sold it for short-term profit?
I agree. Former presidents, namely Theodore Roosevelt, set that land aside for Americans to enjoy forever. It was their gift to us. Republicans are stealing it.
I’m in rural PNW surrounded by national parks including indigenous communities, areas of historical significance and artifacts, which must be protected!! #SaveOurParks
Off to @wyden.senate.gov ‘s town hall today to tell him Oregon is not for sale.
Yes!! 👏🔥💙
Awesome, Jen! Thank you so much. 🌎
Absolutely 💯
I also live in the PNW surrounded by beautiful untouched lands with a rich diverse culture & history. The FIRST American settlers poached Native Americans lands, then made a treaty with them then reneged in the most horrific ways. Not much has changed for 100’s of years. #SaveOurParks
A constant struggle it seems! #HandsOff our public and protected lands!!
Same for me in rural California, Leah. I have sent emails to both Senators Schiff and Padilla.
Ditto Rogue!! I’m contacting reps in my adopted home often. I’m a California native & for 20+ years lived 5 min from National parkland. It’s absolutely insane what this admin is engaged in. I read much of these proposed land sales have to w/Vance, his connections. Such abounding decrepitness !! 🤬
And where is this money going? If the Democrats don’t follow up on this frankly we don’t deserve it
So no one knows where the money is going. Got it.
Hey, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, you need to buy this land on behalf of the American people!
There is huge bipartisan opposition to this...71% of all Americans, including 65% of Republicans and 85% of Democrats. It can be removed from the budget reconciliation bill with loud enough opposition. A quick link to email your Senators is provided by TWS below.
We must channel our inner Woody Guthrie, "This land was made for you and me. There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me. Sign was painted, said, "Private Property" But on the back side, it didn't say nothing. This land was made for you and me."
Let’s make sure they hear how much we hate this budget! Great options here for action- bsky.app/profile/anat...

She's not been banned. If I call her a dangerous piece of shit on X, I probably would be.
If we'll ever be able to vote again. Even if we can vote we've seen how it can be manipulated and suppressed.
I'm ALL IN for a clean sweep! 🧹
This fucking administration is going to sell off all our natural resources and public lands. Don’t tell me Trump won’t end up with a cut of the sales.
I think he’s going to build one of his tacky golf resorts on it.
😡😠
Exactly.
Call your senators to stop this legislation.
Trump and his friends will definitely profit. Trump doesn't care about National Parks, History, Nature, Wildlife. He'd dam up Yosemite and the Grand Canyon if he could. He'd take off all hunting limits on bears, mountain lions, wolves, and other predators, including Bald Eagles because of $$$$$$$$
This is completely unacceptable!
Part of the rich looting America trend.
Look beyond the MANDATORY sale of 2-3 million acres. The Bill authorizes an additional 250+ Million acres for future sales, which is 40% of all public lands in the U.S. www.fieldandstream.com/stories/cons...
They show up with chainsaws. You show up with…
@senatefinance.bsky.social This cannot stand!!
Must read and CALL SENATORS and say hell no! 👆 This is AMERICAS land not theirs to sell FFS!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I say NO!!!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
#SaveOurParks
It’s not ours to sell. GIVE it back.
I wrote both of my Senators, and got the first reply back thanking me for being engaged. One of them is chairman of a committee that can apply pressure to stop it.
Today, I sent emails to California Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla. @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Post below if you have written your Senators, too! Let's do this! ✊
These lands aren’t just scenic—they’re lifelines: Tourism-driven towns like Mammoth rely on public land for over 70% of their local economy. Vital habitats and migration corridors for elk, grizzly bears, pronghorn, and salmon depend on them. 2/4
I fished at Mammoth when I was a child. We camped in the Sierras every couple of years in the summer--places like Kings Canyon and June Lake. In my 20s, I hiked in Yosemite. It sickens me that all of these amazing places are being handed over to vandals. Or maybe I should spell that 𝑽𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒔.
I've spent my whole life hiking and climbing in these wonderful places. It sickens me that they may be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
It's at once heartbreaking and angrifying.
They don't care. They really don't. Their cruelty is the point. Our Should have been President actually proposed a detailed Housing plan to address the housing shortage, but...🤔
This isn’t “housing help.” The proposed land sale won’t reduce the deficit or create affordable housing, and it bypasses public input, NEPA review, and local voices. Check out the article below about "23 Wildly Popular Places We Could Lose Forever..." 3/4 gearjunkie.com/outdoor/23-p...
it’s intended to finance ICE, even worse.
"We'll sell the land to private citizens!" You motherfuckers have a *problem* with Bill Gates owning Farmland - so do I, but for a completely different reason.
📌
This hits close to my heart. Some of my favorite places in CO. Fck Trump and the GOP congress.
This is terrible. The damage this will cause is irrevocable and will diminish the quality of life for millions of Americans.
This is a billionaire land grab pure and simple. The fact they specifically forbid public comment says it all. They want to take our lands and not even give us the right to object. This must be stopped!
It's the opposite of what we need to address the housing crisis. Sprawling developments in East Bumphuck don't do a damn thing. We need modest, affordable, family-focused housing stock in urban and suburban areas.
Cheyenne Mountain, Rampart Reservoir, significant portions of the Pikes Peak Hwy & Pike National Forrest will be sold off. They will be decimated 4ever. The landscape & culture of the Pikes Peak Region will change 4ever. And you know Anchutz will be first in line to buy & limit access to these areas
It’s a “how to get more money to our 1 percenters” scheme to rip off the public citizenry. . .
𝗨𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧 - 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: Call and Email your Senators ☎️ 202‑224‑3121 Demand they remove land‑sell provisions from the bill. Share this post with friends, family, and local communities. Public lands belong to all of us. We need to act now to stop this unprecedented sell‑off! 4/4
![Email Text: Subject: Oppose Public Lands Sell-Off in Senate Reconciliation Bill Dear Senator [Last Name], I am writing to urge you to strongly oppose any provisions in the current Senate reconciliation bill that would authorize the sale of public lands to private interests. As reported by multiple outlets, including GearJunkie and SFGate, this bill would permit the auction of over 3 million acres of federally managed public lands across 11 Western states—without public input or environmental review. This is a reckless and shortsighted proposal. These lands are not surplus. They include critical wildlife corridors, beloved recreational spaces, Indigenous cultural sites, and economic lifelines for gateway communities. Places like the Tahoe National Forest, Mammoth Lakes, Utah’s Book Cliffs, and areas adjacent to Grand Teton National Park could be permanently lost to private development. Public lands belong to all of us - not just to the highest bidder. Selling them off to fund unrelated policy objectives sets a dangerous precedent and undermines decades of bipartisan conservation work. I urge you to: Vote NO on any version of the bill that includes land sale provisions. Demand transparency and full environmental review for any future land use changes. Stand up for the millions of Americans who hike, fish, hunt, camp, and find peace on our public lands. Please be a defender of our shared natural heritage. These lands must remain public - forever.

MAGA HATES AMERICA
This is a terrible part of the bill. But right now we don’t have time or energy for special interests. We need to all mobilize behind, killing the bill. The one big beautiful Bill is also known as the social murder bill that ends democracy. It needs to die on the Senate floor.
Yep, kill the whole thing. There’s at least a dozen poison pills within it, this just being one.
How do we do it, though? Is there any hope? At all? 😭 I'm in WA and we "only" stand to lose about 5,000,000 acres but unless a few red Senators are turned (VERY unlikely), I think our land is gone for good.
I’ve been calling all the republic senators. Telling them that this bill is death by austerity, a betrayal of the social contract with the America people. That we will not forgot and we hold everyone who voted for this “social murder bill” accountable. We will not forget.
These provisions are in the "One Big Ugly Bill," and yes, it needs to die on the Senate floor.
