Trump Admin Revokes License for American Prairie Project Bison Leases
I know we’re not supposed to get political but this is a direct threat to our goal of supporting native flora and fauna. Just thought this might be somewhat informative.
I don’t think evil is “political”; it’s just malicious and destructive.

It’ll go to court. Trump has an amazing record of being a big fucking loser.

A big payoff for Trump’s cattle ranching donors. American citizens don’t stand a chance. Call your representatives and vote in every election.

I come from a farming family, and it’s always crazy to me how farmers and ranchers are outspokenly about “small government” but they’re some of the biggest welfare queens out there.
These ranchers are chomping at the bit to use land that’s not theirs to graze cattle at below the market rate. Conservatives used to care more about conservation, but not so much anymore. It’s only about the money and wildlife doesn’t have a place there.
To quote one of the ranchers from the New York Times article:
>Bison just don’t fit on the landscape anymore.

Resist in every way you can. Show up to things and be heard. Ive seen my voice, among other native plant resistoration specialists, move the needle locally. Go to your next local board meeting and introduce yourself and say plainly, “the actions of the administration opening my eyes of the need to be civically engaged.” Sign up for newsletters from local orgs and show up.
The people you meet will help you along and you’ll find what path fits for you.
Its rewarding as hell. Good shit can happen. Don’t bite off too much. You’ll have data center discussions and flock camera discussions and checking voter registration discussions and mutual aid discussions and rapid response discussions. Plant people were my way in to all of it.

Native plant gardening is political.

Are they going to take this to court before it can be enacted? This is really evil.

I’m tired of all the people, animals, and other living things that this administration is dead set on killing.
