After getting blocked the first time, Sen. Mike Lee is revising his land grab plan and trying to sneak it back into the “Big 💩 Bill.” The new proposal would force the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
This comes after the Senate parliamentarian ruled his original plan, which targeted up to 3.3 million acres, couldn’t be included. So now he’s tweaking the numbers and trying again. Same scheme, just smaller print. They’re still coming for your public lands. Keep watching and please, keep fighting.
OMFG NO
Its kind of incredible that the GOP's greatest enemy in passing this bill is someone going Ctrl+F and just searching keywords for bullshit.
We can not let this happen.
Agreed!
Any new information of the targeted areas? I quite literally live in a national forest that was targeted before- This affects me personally!
💕 Ridiculously greedy A$$hole 💕
Bastard
Didn't you run with this yesterday? - Land sale & mining giveaways (like the Alaskan road): Removed. See what happens when we let emotions get the best of us? We put things out publicly that isn't accurate. And destroys credibility in the process. Wise to slow our rolls before hitting "send," huh?
😡
They are relentless with their schemes!
Lee's justification to sell these millions of acres of Public Lands is for use to build more housing. The federal lands I've been around are some of the most remote areas in the country and don't seem to have infrastructure, jobs, or people who wish to live 'remotely'.
I would think Governors in those states could write something about having "First right of refusal".
Except it’s probably federal land 😢
Please get Lee out!!
Since he's the one pushing it, can it just be confined to his state's lands that go on the block?
Clearly he has a donor who he is trying to pay
We have thousands upon thousands of vacant houses, buildings and lots in cities across the country. Mike Lee should be fighting to get them sold, make them habitable, and attractive to developers.
GOP Rep zinke now opposes the bill bc of those provisions. Big news. And good opposition.
We'll see. He's about as slimy as it gets. A bad man. And don't forget, he was against it until Montana got a carve out in the initial bill. Then he was for it. And now he's against it. Until the next carve out I'll assume.
Dang. Got excited when I first read that headline but I guess this guy is no hero. 🙁
Yeah. I hear you. Don't look in to him. He'll make your head explode.
Zinke isn't doing it out of principle. He sees how pissed even conservative MAGA Montanans would be pissed if he sold off public lands. That's why Daines managed to cut Montana out of the original. They're scared shitless of losing their jobs in 2026. And they should be.
The Republicans have lost their souls.
LOL! Amusing you thought they started with any.
Correct💯 ✅ When it comes to Women and POC, they’re soulless!
IKR!
Never had those. They have lost their spines if they ever had those.
Keep emphasizing these are acres where people hunt, fish, and use for recreation. There are even some pathways for mineral claims and forestry leases, while in public trust. All would be gone once sold to a private entity. ...and the only one who can afford they acreage will be the very rich.
I read that his revised amendment places the funds from the sale of BLM lands into the general fund. That's illegal. Any monies raised by BLM land must stay in the BLM land fund to be used for BLM lands.
His second attempt to sell off our public lands states they are being sold for Freedom Zones to create affordable housing. Everyone knows these lands are being sold for the benefit of the rich not affordable housing.
Freedom Zones are the unregulated Freedom Cities the techbro oligarchs want to build to be able to operate above and outside the laws of the US to experiment unregulated in nuclear power, crypto, Artificial intelligence, human experiments and more. Unregulated corporations...we already did that.
No taxation. By operating out of special economic Freedom zones with self-determined tax codes, venture capitalists and their companies are able to escape taxes. Once established they will sue a state if you try to rein them in. Article on Freedom Zones: www.vcinfodocs.com/what-is-the-...
Inheritance parasites are locking down as many of our resources in as few hands as possible. What's really dumb is that they rarely do any of it with their own hands. They drop into the world like the rest of us, and we get told that the nation's resources are already theirs.
I wonder where the AI data centers are going to be placed? Hmmm, I wonder...
Just a wild guess… The states most affected are MAGA. They wouldn’t care.
Colorado cares
They’re all so shameless. Ugh.
I called it, I knew this would happen. They will do whatever they can to destroy our land just to own the libs.
The MAGAts want to own the libs. The regime (including everyone in Congress who isn't fighting this) just wants to suck all the money they can out before they kill the country.
What developers are greasing his palms with $$$?
The techbro oligarchs want to build Freedom Zones. And his church wants the land in Utah. Here's some info on Network states and Freedom zones. www.vcinfodocs.com/what-is-the-...
Peter thiel, Curtis Yarvsn, JD Vance, zuck, musk, And many techbro geeks
NO! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
If the federal government doesn’t want that land, then give it back to native Americans.
Actually federal lands are held in trust for the benefit of all Americans so if the federal government doesn't want the land, they should be asking all of us.
It’s all stolen land. Unless you are Native American or Mexican, this isn’t your land.
Respectfully trying to understand your view...in that case, only original inhabitants are rightful natives? What is the status of the rest of us, and what do you propose be done about it? Isn't there is room to right past wrongs with Native Americans short of saying none of the rest us belong here?
Sadly, it cannot be undone, but yes, people like me (white European descent) are invaders on this land. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_...
Sadly, yes. I was hopeful we were making strides - that was part of my work before I retired. Any gains being made in communication, accommodation and respect are being undone. Can we agree "public" land should not be sold to private interests? It goes against your views as well.
Yes, the land should not be sold, but in this administration, nothing is off the table for a price. (Land, water, state secrets, human lives…)
Well…prepare to be invaded by the tech bros...they want fiefdoms and to be kings. www.wired.com/story/startu...
Good grief, another disaster not getting much light of day in the daily avalanche of terrible news!
Presidio will probably the test run… sfstandard.com/opinion/2025...
They want that land back too! 😡
This guy must love the hate, it must feed his evil soul. He’s one of those kind of demons I suspect. Proceed with caution!
WTH such a POS
STAY AWARE AND AWAKE, FOLKS!
Guarantee there are skeletons in Lee’s closet, probably right next to the underage kids he keeps tied up there.
Isn’t that the definition of insanity?
He better not!
Parliamentarian, please!
Why am I not surprised Mike Lee is behind this. The Mormon Church has a bunch of hidden wealth. Are they behind the land grab?
I don't think the tech bros are Mormon.
Senator Lee and his Family are deep in Utah politics and that is not run by Tech Bros. If Mike Lee has any group of people outside of campaign donors he listens to it’s part of his church community. Which is Mormon. The Mormon Church owned prop 8 and they certainly can own their senators behavior.
😡😡😡
www.followthemoney.org/entity-detai...
He has one big beautiful real estate deal for sure.
Fascism never ever sleeps.
If I recall correctly, in the recent past, Utah proposed to have federal land in Utah turned over to Utah. That got rejected. Is this revenge for that slap down? Mike Lee needs to be slammed down hard.
These fuckers won’t be happy until they’ve destroyed the natural world.
Let’s sell Utah to Putin.
Terrible!
What wealthy donor is demanding Mike Lee do this?
maga = nazi
@aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social FYI ~
Weasel!
Absolutely not Mike Lee
No!
Mike Lee hates Utah so much he’s trying to pawn it off
BLM doesn’t own the land—it belongs to the American public
🤮💙🔥
Fuck Mike Lee
Does have anything to do with Vance’s company AcreTrader the company that buys land for the foreigners and for the billionaires? Just asking for the Americans that own that land Time to follow the money,in fact we always have to follow the money with this regime..Palantir x Stephen Miller
We need an emergency HALT on everything.
Fuckin prick
What’s in it for him? Seems like an investigation is in order.
Can't we send a grizzly bear to his house to rip his fucking limbs off?
Why is he so hell bent to do this? Follow the money!
Hell to the NO!!!
I think he wakes up each morning wondering what the most repugnant thing is that he could do today.
This is how the billionaire technocrats get their land for pennies on the dollar to build their “network cities” where its residents are basically serfs.
conservatives love the idea of being a serf as long as minority serfs are suffering more
what's in it for him? somebody should look into that, start checking their motives
This is my land, this is your land, this isn't land for sale or making some millionaire land developer even more wealthy.
I think Mike Lee is an expert at "sneaking things in the back".
He is garbage.
“This land is my land. This land is your land, from California to the New York Island…”
Sold to anyone for pennies, who is willing to pay a bribe and a percentage of the profits when the land is RE-SOLD or mined, or drilled, or logged. And NO "News" outlet will report that our greatest assets were stolen from us.
Don’t forget about Vance’s land-grabbing side hustle, AcreTrader
Call Repub Senators today. “NO” to any sale of public lands!
These people are total pukes!
God @thegodpodcast.com if you really are listening, can you please immediately stop providing breathing capabilities to these dangerous people?
Amen 🙏
I'm betting it's because he saw that BLM was involved and thought that was too woke.
🤣🤣
Stupid ass decision. At least force all the proceeds to principal payments on the national debt. Not that it would make much of a dent. There’s a lot of shitty senators, but Mike Lee’s devolution to trash person has been the most extreme.
🤬🤬🤬🤬
If it passes, god forbid, let it all be lands in Utah so he loses his Senate seat.
Mike Lee needs some good trouble by people in his district.
For what comes next, I recommend the nonviolent resistance methods practiced and taught by Srdja Popovic. Right now, you can download a free copy of one of his books from the Cornell University Press website: www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...
One of the high priorities of our nonviolent resistance actions should be to isolate the authoritarians, and to divide them from each other and from their closest allies and followers. We need to undermine their solidarity and their pillars of support. Let's take every opportunity.
Can we have our country back, please?! None of this stuff they are doing is what America is all about.
Biggest asshole to ever walk…
No ,zero Anyone who tries...
MIKE JOHNSON IS AN INSULT TO THE UNITED STATES AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
AND MIKE LEE IS AN EQUAL INSULT TO THE SENATE.
He’s hot to get his grubby little hands on our public land. The fox is still rooting around for what he can grab. Bravo, Utah, you sent a POS to Washington.
Mike Lee is a FkN traitor and disgusting 🤮 POS.
Yes. He’s Mormon’s answer to Evangelical Mike Johnson. A shitty “hold my beer” over who can be sleazier.
This administration is barbaric. They harm every aspect of the country.
One has to think that the states impacted by this land sale would be letting their senators know, very loudly.
Who is paying him?
Ah Mike Lee. Jon Stewart had some delightful anecdotes on his meetings with Mike Lee. Link starts at 1400s in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q08...
For their little “techno states” they have planned, no doubt. Nothing like virtually free land in which to start a dictatorship.
Alt National Park for a Nobel prize
Here here!!
Hell yeah!
Interesting that the BLM is now “ managed” by one of the biggest welfare queen ranchers ever under investigation. I wonder how much of our public lands that heʻs planning to grab for pennies an acre?
He needs out. And of course he’s from Utah. I’m sure he stands to make a giant multi generational retirement off the land we stole. Fuck you, you bitch.
All under the guise of fixing homelessness. What utter bullshit
Mike Lee is exactly the kind of doofus that will try the exact same failed plan again
We should do a class action lawsuit because our Public Lands do not belong to any one administration to sell, they belong to the people for the people! #handsoffourpubliclands
Absolutely 💯
YES!
This would be amazing!!!!
How about - NOOOOOO!
Mike Lee is an awful person who could be better, but chooses daily not to be.
I have been writing to all the tourist info centers in Utah, a state I was planning to visit again, and telling them I won't visit as long as he is in office. He does not represent us in WA.
That's what boggles my mind is why is this guy from Utah trying to take lands from almost all the other western states what gives him the right?!
My guess is they are getting paid by someone. Or they have enough money to invest.
Oh No you dont
What is wrong with that horrible man?!
NO!!!!
#notoneacre
The awful Mike Lee has no shame!
Call your representatives every day and tell them NOT to pass the GENOCIDAL budget bill. Tell them YOU will make people suffer. YOU will make people die. Tell them we can do better.
I've politely called all 53 repussican senators about this, along with other shit in that gawdamn bugly budget bill: Medicaid, Medicare, fuckin' immigration policy, etc. I emphasize how beautiful their states are, add "no wars," and end with What would Jesus Do? Call www.270towin.com/elected-offi...
Can't let that happen!
He’s doing all he can to chip away at Utah’s record $23 billion tourism economy. I guess he interprets Utah’s ‘Industry’ motto in a robber baron kind of way.
General Strike US @generalstrikeus.bsky.social A general strike is when working people refuse their labor until demands are met • Research shows 3.5% of the population is required, or 11 million Americans. Currently over 355,000 have joined. General Strike US @generalstrikeus.bsky.social
Noooooo
📣 Some of these guys are like little children when told No! Mamas and @altnps.bsky.social have eyes everywhere.
What is that guy's DEAL???? And they call Social Democrats "Commies"???
Why does Mike Lee suck so hard?
🤮
😡
It would help to know what lobbying group is behind Sen. mike lee. and his scheme to sell America's land. I read this article. suwa.org/what-to-know... And they didn't mention it either. most senators are puppets. We have to find the master.
His amendment to sell 1.2 million acres of BLM land states it's for Freedom Zones for affordable housing. Of course that's bs. Here's more info on Network states and Freedom zones. These are the guys behind Mike Lee pushing for the sale of our public lands. www.vcinfodocs.com/what-is-the-...
Nobody is gonna move there to the affordable houses because there’s no fucking jobs there. Most of this federal land is unpopulated, right? Will take literal decades to scale. They’re so dumb.
But it's not really about affordable houses. That's bs. It's about Network states and Freedom zones . 47 wants 10 of them. The techbros are marketing them as utopia cities but this article better describes their real goals.... www.vcinfodocs.com/what-is-the-...
Even if it were for affordable housing, most of that BLM land is not exactly prime real estate. It isn't affordable when you have to run the heat or AC full time and commute 100 miles to your job at Burger King. Thanks for the link. Sadly that makes more sense.
You're welcome.
sounds like Ayn Rand bullshit. if they're looking for Utopia, we should just hook them up to an LSD drip and stick them in a ward somewhere.
references: The electric Kool-Aid acid test, One flew over the cuckoo's nest, The Merry Pranksters. old; but apparently still relevant.
I like the way you think.
Red Alert, He’s at it again! Mike lee 🤡💩🎭🤥 📌 Housing? They want to build “Freedom Zones” Network Cities… petr theil -and billionaires’ plan “Dark Enlightenment,” look it up! A plan to steal our land and imprison us as their workers! Taking away our rights/sick bullshit! Vance is in on this plan!
Here's some more info Network States and Freedom Zones. Excellent article: www.vcinfodocs.com/what-is-the-...
Thank you! So much “hair on fire” important info! 📌
😡😡😡😡
This land is your land. This land is my land. From California to the New York Island. Oh shit, I guess not they’re taking that away too.
Isn’t that mostly indigenous land? I thought government wasn’t allowed to touch that after pushing Native American off their land
Someone....please teach Mike Lee and big lesson so that he eats through a straw for the rest of his pathetic, hateful NAZI life.
Wonder what kind of kickback he’s getting from this.
What I have to say about it: youtu.be/nR3oeGihS-4?...
It makes me heartsick.
I’m assuming he thinks they’ll fire the parliamentarian now so it’s more likely to happen.
I’m sure there’ll be money in it for him, his family, his rich friends or all of the above.
Wait to the folks in the Red States find out that their elected Republican Senators and Congressmen/women have denied them the right to hunt, fish and hike on once public lands. Replace all Republicans in 2026.
Sneaky sneaky sneaky. They are nothing if not sneaky little s**ts 24/7/365. Prove me wrong.
NOPE.
Mike Lee is a real POS.
Teddy Roosevelt would have opinions.
Hands off!!!!!
Noooooo! Please leave the trees alone, they’ve done nothing to you.
I would love to see development on steep canyon walls. NOT
yeah, anyone who spends much time on public lands knows it isn't affordable housing going there... unless they mean ICE detention tents. There is room for those, especially in all those old internment camps. (I am getting really angry typing this.)
Somebody fuck his ass up ive seen enough
Why do Mormons hate this country so much? Or are they all that stupid, greedy, thoughtless, & irresponsible that they don't understand they are being so hateful???
Take him out. Vote him into a nothing burger.
Utah,can’t you do better??? I get it,I’m from Illinois!
He can't get it back in the bill no matter how he words it. This is why. www.closertotheedge.net/p/the-woman-...
Mike Lee probably has his eye on a few hundred acres for his personal compound.
He’s such a loathsome piece of 💩
I knew it! It’s not over. I’m on a mission to send out the rest of material about the sell off.
If it was a simple sale, then parcel it up in small pieces and sell by lottery, otherwise it's just a giveaway to the rich and the corporations they own.
Am in CT and our Congresspeople are fully aligned with fighting for the right thing. Is it worth calling them…?
youtu.be/wxiMrvDbq3s?...
Block him again…
Has anybody gone through his mega-donor list to see who's in the market for public lands? This one should be a slam dunk.
Oh no, this can't happen
FML and twice on Sunday
Fucking soulless asshole
#landback
Well here’s a solution….how about all those millionaires/billionaires who have profited from nitwit to include tax cuts give up those billions of acres of land they purchased???
Absolutely NOT!! What's wrong with Lee? Money grubber
Is this the same thing as the abandonment of the Roadless Rules? Or a different ecological nightmare that’s being discussed 🫠
So many assholes in this administration.
PLEASE no sale of our lands.. we should be like Japan. We cannot buy land in their country and that’s the way it should be in the United States of America. You can rent it, but you cannot buy it.
Yes you’re correct ..✌🏼💙🦋
Actually CHINA..
Fuck Mike Lee!
*gagging noise, puking noise* Ugh. 😐
I despise that man.
I would like Mike Lee put in prison for the attempted theft of my land! And I hope he gets shanked inside!
I have a fire hydrant in front of my home . I call it the Mike Lee hydrant . My dogs let Mike know their thoughts of selling our public lands … let’s say that hydrant is never dry !

Who are they going to sell it to Will it be on Zillow? Maybe Ellie and I could build a house next to a waterfall like in Up!
What the fuck is wrong with Republicans? Mike Lee is among the worst of these rotten apples. Mitch “they will get over it” Turtleshit is another example, as well as that callous cunt, Joni Ernst.
NO.
Told ya! HUMANS AGAINST MIKE LEE!
Are the maps of these 1.2 million acres of land available to view? That could reveal much of "his" plan. Comparing that with his donors might be an interesting story.
I believe they are mapping parcels left and right with the same level of critical analysis that was provided by DOGE to the federal firings.
That may be so. If it truly does include only BLM acres, the mapping of such has been done, showing us where, is critical. My curious mind wants to know if the "mineral estate" is included in such sales. Typically leases are let at auction periodically.
Do we know who wants to buy it? I’m assuming someone is paying him…..
NO! NO! NO!
Sen. Mike Lee: the epitome of “let me tweet conspiracy theories instead of actually legislating.” He blamed Marxists before facts, plotted to overturn 2020, then hides like a kid when called out. Utterly insidious masquerading as constitutional purity.
Well-stated, jlm! Thank you! 👏🤨😠
Thanks for engaging.

Rep Zinke (who was the interior secretary in Trump I) said he opposes the bill now because of these land sales provisions. We continue to rack up wins!!
Sen. Mike Lee... Disgusting grifter. You dont get to deplete our land for your selfish gain. Idk if he claims to be Christian, but he isnt. The farthest away from being Christian as you can get.

Tell Lee to keep his grubby hands off our land!
Land back in indigenous hands… can more people start taking this seriously?
Fucktard! Keep your grubby hands off our public lands.

all just to give more money to the richest folks on the planet...
