Nature is what I miss most about Missouri - hills, hardwood forests, caves, springs, clear rivers, and a very strong commitment to conservation. Let's hope the commitment to conservation stays strong.
Like natives across the globe, someone may privatize YOUR life long commitment to preserve for THEIR Carbon Credits. This allows them to continue to produce the same amount of pollution while you lose your land. Not making this up. Carbon credit is a business thebreakthrough.org/journal/no-2...
Not likely. The legislature has already tried to sell one of our state parks and has authorized commercial activity in others.
Scott Walker did it in WI.
Oh I still hate him with my whole being.

@piperformissouri.bsky.social. FYI Republicans for Caldwell are having a meeting Saturday at 6pm at the Nazareth church in Kingston. They do have a FB page.
Ranchers rely on being able to rent BLM land for grazing. But sure, sell it to investors who will jack up the rent. Are you ranchers happy you voted for this?
They cannot think that far ahead.
Absolutely not. This must be stopped.
The government is eating its seed corn…
Fuck Trump!
Absofuckinglutely NOT
Gee, I wonder who's going to lap up this real estate.
Can sell it out from under the public to its rich foreign friends, is that right??? What gives IT the right to sell land stolen anyways?
You know how we stop this? Since it's The People's Own private land, which Teddy Roosevelt claimed for it to be a forever monument for The People, the Apricot Ant1chr1st would be legally obliged to pay every citizen their cut of the sale. At a price We dictate. It's ours. Not his.
Going after mostly northern blue states and native land like Alaska.
🤬🤬🤬🤬 FUCK HIM
The buyers have already been selected, and (surprise!) they've "donated" a lot of $$$ to the felon.
This is so INFERIORATING
👎🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬👿👿
I'm sure that the moment it is signed that there are contracts already drawn up with billionaires and will be signed within minutes. Our land is being sold to the highest bidder and we all will end up as cheap labor.
Lowest bidder. The BBB section 80142 of the House bill lowers royalty costs for coal mining public lands. Section 80161 inhibits protesting offshore extraction. The House & Senate bills are disasters for Americans! They are purposely destroying America for the financial enrichment of a few.
🤬🤬🤬
America is for sale to the highest bidder.
Take, take, take. Follow the money on this and what you'll find is people with interest in mineral rights, some lumber... but, mostly minerals. There is no consideration for how fragile some of these ecosystems are.
No!!
#MotherFuckers 🤬🤬🤬
Sounds like thatcher
What I see Trump doing, taking US public land/property (repeat land that belongs to the US public) & selling it for high profit. Profit that will travel on twisty-turny tracks like those inside Space Mountain, & end up in a $$$ account only he/his can access.
FUCK NO‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I suppose Trump gets a finder's fee.
This is outrageous. F these empty suit city slickers.
Florida stopped it. It can and must be stopped .
This bill must be killed in the Senate. We need articles of impeachment
😡
Shameful!
Nothing conservative about selling off our public land.
It’s obscene.
That’s a good word for it
It’s called robbing your children.
The oligarchs are running the show. The Republican Criminal Organization is selling the means and modes of production to them for pennies. If people keep voting for this criminal organization, the oligarchs will own EVERYTHING and we will be their renters. It’s a class war.
Bingo
OMG
Hopefully China doesn’t buy it all.
You noticed that no one @ G7 asked Trump to stay longer or said they were sorry that he had to go. That silence was deafening 😂😂😂😂
Colorado will just take that land back! F these assholes!
God will destroy those who destroy the planet.
We need a nonprofit to help us as citizens buy large areas to keep for wildlife & recreation, something like World Wildlife Fund but specific to US; a Citizens’ Park Service so to speak.
And here goes the Fire sale on our national parks to the richest bitter, which would be the billionaires to build resorts. This is bullshit.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I must stress that liking being informed does NOT mean I like the news I'm being informed of.
Americans have paid to preserve these lands for decades so 1. Where is our refund? 2. Every Dem candidate running in these states next year & the POTUS candidate in 2028 better loudly proclaim we will take these lands back & every developer will be made to clean it up back to the original state!
It would be hard to clean up entire housing developments…
Take it back by legislation
Is there any person alive who doesn't know by now that the hate filled, armed right cares nothing about anything but themselves & will kill to get their way. Land, futures....don't even bother writing papers about that....they simply don't give a crap so you'd be better off creating a slogan.
Unbelievable. Trump and his troupe would sell the family to the highest bidder if allowed. Disgusting 🫣 🤮 😝 🤢 😫
The majority is in my state, much on land inhabited by animals, including packs of sweet wild burros. This is a terrible plan. Destructive and unnecessary. We don't have the water for more businesses anyway. I'm pissed. Calling my reps tomorrow.
This was in the plan all along, republicans know what they are doing!
Burn this bill!!!! It’s our country and these fascist criminal SOB’s are not selling our America to anyone! Remember, “STOP the steal?” Sound familiar, Trump is so transparent these days!
STOP THIS! Scream this so that all Americans hear. They are stealing our land to destroy it. For what? Crypto? AI? @schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov @pattymurray.bsky.social
Why are Republicans always in search of things they can destroy? Their climate change denial is already setting the entire world on a dangerous path. You’d think that would be enough for them, but no.
No!!!!
We've got to stop the theives.
Soul crushing bad news every 5 minutes.
This is crap
Noooooo!!
Our land. The way it ought to be. #trump_hands_off
Oak Flat: Supreme Court rejects Arizona tribe's plea to block building of copper mine www.fox10phoenix.com/news/oak-fla...

I am sick of the Supreme Court. There is nothing Supreme about them.
Disgusting but not surprising.
It is beautiful untouched National Forest, so sad.
I think we all know Republicans are religious only when it suits their purpose.
💯phony's'
And those states between the west coast and Colorado, guess who they voted for?! Hint: He’s a Violent Oversized Delinquent Orange Mummy who eats McDonald’s every day.
They did this to hawaii, too! Obama protected the north islands. 💩 reversed it! 😠 😡
😳😳😳
This is a policy not a budget aspect that will need 60 votes to be included in a bill
So all the men with their pew-pews who like to hunt and fish, "Sorry, the parks closed. Moose out front shoulda told ya."
NO! How can we stop this from happening?
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This sick authoritarian regime needs to be eliminated ASAP
The GOP..."ROBBING HOODS".
The Democrats need to say that when elected they will take all the land back.
What we should do is warn all potential buyers that once this regime is no longer in power, we will not only retake all lands purchased, but we will seize all profits made from the use of the lands, and seize assets to recoup for any damages to our national treasures.
But, what damage will already be done to the land, wildlife, and resources in the meantime?
Land grabbing = Prognosis, Collapsing Democracy Bernie @sanders.senate.gov has been advocating for 'wealth to taxpayers'. Free healthcare is NOT socialism. It is a return on YOUR Tax$$. Public land may end up with oligarchs Parks in the cities = Real estate for the rich 👇👇‼️ bsky.app/profile/bint...
This will seriously accelerate climate change if these lands are allowed to be deforested, developed, etc. I don't see anyone leaving them only maintained and stewarded. Not these greedy f*cks.
Bad!
That is public lands and NOT FOR SALE !!!! the devastation that selling thus land would last fir years we must not let this bill pass!!! And none of the land broken up for sale will never be for sale!! It is protected land and needs to stay that way!!!
That's a terrible plan Ontario has Algonguin Park!! It's beautiful
Alas, Republican "Sleepy Joe" trolling online & in national media, obscured so much that Biden-Harris did. It got enough voters to stay home to enable Don the Degenerate Con to rip away so much that hard working, therefore, rather tired, Joe Biden had done. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Amerika in de uitverkoop voor de hoogste bieder. Ik denk maar zo dat de opbrengsten niet naar de bevolking gaan.
Selling public land to oligarchs on the cheap. How Russian of them.
This is a capital crime being committed against the people, the earth, and the soul of our nation
You and you and you Magats are assholes! Fuck you! (From the inventor of National Parks!)
This will be stolen property and buyers need to understand that the people of the United States will be repossessing it. Without compensation, at some point in the future

No just f**cking no.
It must not happen.
This is a sin.
📌
HELL NO!!!! Senators do not own the land they're mandating be sold. That belongs to the American people, either as a whole or as part of the land still owned by Indigenous peoples. HANDS OFF YOU CREEPS!!!
Hopefully,not all the land will go to industry.Maybe brought for conservative purposes.
In Trumpland, anything is for sale, including your soul.
*Everything…
Eminent domain. Keep records. We can take it all back if that's in the public interest. (keep that in mind if you're thinking of buying that land to exploit it)
😡😡😡
NO MEANS NO
🤬🤬

No no NO!!!
GOP Senator: “FIRE SALE ! Everything must GO ! My Mother’s boots and false teeth are for sale, too!”
Get Hayduke on the phone!
Republicans conserve nothing.
Also deserve fits well in that sentence.
@gallego.senate.gov and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, please don't let them steal, rape, and pillage our public lands. 😞
plunder
If musk wants to make up with us he can buy us all and donate it back to the people.
As a user of public land, this is so fucked up. But it will be really funny when MAGAt hunters and fisherman are excluded from areas that they’ve used before. Almost makes it worth it.
the very reason people like to live in the area and they are going to sell it out to drilling and logging. then even less people will want to live there.
They aren't just destroying our governmental system -- they want to wipe out everything living in this country, from plants and animals to humans.
Death cult. Apocalypterians. Armageddonites. Turning everything into money and grabbing that money while the world burns is apparently a religious compulsion with them.
I seem to remember more than one pastor quoting a scripture that says, "...the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous," (Proverbs 13:22), as justification for evilgelicals being greedy, selfish, and apathetic. They actually believe their god is going to let them rule the world.
Sure. They’re a mixture of Mammonites and Molochites (going by what little I know of Mediterranean religions of the time). They’re Old Testament-type gods; gods of destruction, greed, terror and death.
Christianity is built upon the patriarchy, misogyny, nationalism, guilt, shame, fear, and condemnation. Men in power wrote the Bible in an attempt to explain what they didn't understand at the time while also perpetuating the patriarchy by subjugating and oppressing women and minorities.
It's all about controlling anyone who isn't in power. The wealth gap. Pitting the classes against each other. Treating women like chattel. Racism. Limiting access to education. Strictly defined gender roles. Hatred for anyone who won't force themselves to fit inside the mold created for them.
🤬😡
The GOP won't be happy until they have pillaged every last inch of this country.
That is correct. It never been about the American people it only about the special old white men assholes who will steal everyone’s belongings. Even the few places in nature where humans can relax or just enjoy beauty.
100%. Rich assholes in Maine try to make beaches private because they own a house alongside. It's a battle every few years. Fuck off, I hope your house floods every year and floats away 🤣
They are entitled assholes.
Yes they are. They also don't think they should be expected to pay for beach maintenance or cleanup after storms on their "private beach"... that's for the peasants to pay for.
Not surprised they want a private beach but want tax payers to maintain their private beach. 🤬
And we know who will snap it up
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
This is unacceptable

Our federal dollars Our land
The calvinist techno broligarchs might want it for their he-man woman haters club
It’s often called the Bureau of Logging and Mining because that’s their actual purpose. Cattle ranging won’t be cheap anymore (As low as $5/acre in Nevada) nor mining minerals or cutting trees. All will be privatized.
Mote for conservative elite billionaires to profit off of and to hoard for themselves.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
No just no, but ^%$# no!
BODIES IN THE WOODS
They've lost their fucking mind in DC!!!! I'm so pissed, And I yelled at whoever answered the phone when calling my House and Senate Reps ! Fuck em, if they don't like it, don't do the fucking job!!!
Setting up his oligarchs with our land! Time to wisen up America.
Gee who benefits from this?
💔
“Disposal”
That is horrific.
If it’s punitive, if it’s cruel, wrong, hurts indigenous people then it’s DJT
Trump & Co currently run USG like a business that fell to corporate raiders: fire workers, sell assets, data, & real estate, weigh it down with debt extracted for themselves as profit (move our taxes into private hands) & bankrupt US govt. OBBB represents the last big heist from the American people.
I believe that belongs to the taxpayers who paid for and support the land
Disgusting! The selling off of OUR public lands! The Senate bill also handicaps the ability of courts to enforce contempt orders and preliminary injunctions. This is why it is important to CALL Senators to urge them to VOTE “NO” on the bill. Please take time to call them.
No. Just no. This administration 😑👎🏻
Interior Sec Burgum handed control of the Dept of the Interior toTyler Hassen,a former oil exec & Musk staffer.The Dept oversees 500 million acres of public lands-national parks,wildlife areas,drilling on public lands & waters.The plan is to exploit/destroy our precious national resources for $$
Meanwhile..... "Mar 29, 2024 — In 2023, the United States exported about 10.15 million b/d of petroleum to 173 countries" 10 MILLION BARRELS A DAY! ---
No
Selling off 250M acres of public land to "reduce the debt" is a shortsighted move with almost no real fiscal impact. At best, it raises ~$75B—less than 4% of the annual deficit—while permanently surrendering environmental, recreational, and sovereign heritage for a one-time cash grab.
Inexcusable! Stay woke people! We must preserve our beautiful wilderness areas! They should never be for sale!
Stop this insanity
Heist of a all times in known history. They gonna get everything if you don't stop them.
Every fucking day, a new low.
🤬
We need an FDR in 2028 who will just demand the land back. Fuck that orange POS traitor
Oh my goodness!!! What the hell?!?
All in the West…
🖕🏼🖕🏼
The real corruption is in the details.
The next Dem president & Congress will have a H3ll of a job reversing even just the graft these guys are doing. It might be simpler to just confiscate all wealth over $50 million or so.
Just terminate all of the contracts without compensation. THe GOP is determined to fuck over public lands, they can unfuck them.
Good God. How much in kickbacks is he getting??
47 will buy most of it. He will either be our king and/or literally own our land.
Along with our techno-feudalist masters.
I really, really hate the mfer.
Billions

This is bad, so very bad.
Horrifying
Folks that enjoy these recreation areas are going to be pissed.
It'll just cost them more for admission, Disney-style.
FTS
How much of that will be sold to foreign buyers?
God damn fucking conservatives. They will destroy everything.
Funny that they call themselves "Conservatives," but they want to uproot everything about how our government is run.
How can anyone want this to happen? Our beautiful recreational wilderness lands for sale? To who or what or some foreign Arabian to take over our oil and gas? WTF? How can this be happening to OUR America. We did NOT vote for this. Kill the environment air water critters life - for money? For who?
😭
Anyone and anything in the federal government that is not for extractive resources will be destroyed under Trump. That’s not hyperbole, that’s their acknowledged mission. @altnoaa.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @altusforestservice.bsky.social
Three guesses as to who might purchase these lands. The first two don't count.
The Trump MAGA Shitstorm is never ending. ☹️
Disgusting.
Selling off our precious land so that billionaires can use tax cuts to acquire the land. Very 17th century of the US government.
Well there goes the ability to hunt and fish cuz we'd be trespassing on some industrial complex with armed troopers in masks
Imperialist! TRAITORS!
Who will decide who gets to buy the land?!?!
This is for now. Once the tide has turned, all those who bought any parcel from this BLM will be dispossessed by the people themselves. All those who got rich because of Trump, will have all their ill gotten wealth confiscated. Above all, we will nationalize all major industries. ( wake me up).
Fucking bastards.
IMMEDIATE and NATIONWIDE Consumer Strike, stopping ALL PURCHASES (except necessary), is needed If Americans truly want to prevent Trump's and GOP's legislative assault on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Rule of Law. REALITY, Republicans only respond to actions that threaten their profits.
I'm in.
No! Hands off our public lands!
Corporatism requires there to be no public land. Everything will be for sale, everyone will have a price and a value. That's the Peter Thiel vision for America, no democracy, just mega corps running everything, capitalisms final victory.
Watch gates buy it all
That is, billionaires like eMusk, Gates and Trump will buy it.
Let's get some environmental billionaires to buy it and put in conservation easements! Or start go fund me's
This is EGREGIOUS!
I bet the Saudíes will be the ones buying.

That’s why they want to pass it so quickly even though most of it will be reversed… once those lands are sold, hard to reverse that. Let me guess. Pennies on the dollar… to connected buyers.
Yep Wyoming has the mechanism in place.
Well, trump is "proving" that nothing is hard: you just do it and then wait to see what the courts say. The next administration can simply use eminent domain to recover the lands for the public and wait to see who sues.
To a JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk company?
Another slap in the face to the Great Americans who came before us, that sacrificed for all of us
We’re in a death cult. Our neighbors can’t wait to die.
Sorry, I have a problem with the idea of ‘great Americans sacrificing’ when those ‘great Americans’ stole the land and slaughtered the original inhabitants. Seems like it’s always been about money, power, and ownership. ☹️
A little while ago, I read the reason to sell public lands was to build affordable housing! I'm wholly against selling public land and believe it's part of a scheme to further rob the public and increase the wealth of the already uber rich!
Thanks posting
Clearly Trump has never been a big fan of this guy. www.trcp.org/2021/09/03/t...
