@gregseitz Freedom for the toxic rich. There’s a very old guy in my Rotary group who always finishes saying the pledge of allegiance by adding softly, “For some.” He’s not entirely wrong.
@aaronklemz@FriendsBWCAW@BettyMcCollum04 Well, to be fair, I think we did once have a donor with a Russian sounding name. Lived in MPLS I believe. Maybe he’s extrapolating extemporaneously!
I’m a bit of a proselytizer on this, but @TJStiles_Author’s biography of James remains my favorite of his works, despite Pulitzers on two of his other books. Do yourself a favor and check this one out.
@gregseitz Great. Now all the beavers will be racing to these lakes to build there lodges, dam up streams, cut down trees and generally cloud the waters.
NEW: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has revoked a previously suspended clean water permit for the NewRange copper nickel project (PolyMet). "The permit does not ensure compliance with water quality requirements of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa."
The Superior National Forest and three northeastern Minnesota Chippewa tribes have made a first-of-its-kind agreement, giving the tribes a stronger voice in managing national forest and federal trust land that they ceded nearly 170 years ago. https://t.co/wHuVfvmMNb
Today during a committee hearing on the Boundary Waters, we discovered that one of the witnesses testifying was actually a lobbyist for a mining company.
This company would profit off of mining in the Boundary Waters, all while polluting and causing irreparable harm to the land.
