Fifty years of rules keeping off-road vehicles on designated trails — GONE.
Lifted trucks, ATVs, dirt bikes, snowmobiles.
Anywhere they want. On your public lands.
Nixon protected it. Carter protected it. Trump just erased both quietly on a Friday afternoon.
A grizzly bear will abandon its habitat when there's just one mile of road per square mile. One mile. Now there's no limit on where these vehicles can go.
In the Mojave, desert tortoises have already lost 96% of their population in some monitored areas - partly because off-road vehicles crush their burrows. A federal judge just ordered 2,200 miles of trails closed to protect what's left.
Then Trump signed this.
No designated trails. No boundaries. No framework at all. When vehicles go off trail they shatter habitat into pieces too small for wildlife to survive in. They destroy stream banks. They push predators toward humans. And when that happens, the animals always lose.
There was no vote. No public comment. Just a signature.
Now the agencies tasked with writing replacement rules are the BLM, the Forest Service, and the National Park Service - all under an administration that has spent months dismantling every protection they had.
The Interior Department, led by Doug Burgum, is in charge of most of it. The same Doug Burgum who has opened public lands to drilling, mining, and grazing at every turn.
Don't hold your breath.
When the last quiet place is gone, what do we tell the children who never got to hear it?

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.
🚨 DISGUSTING: Patriot Thomas Massie confirms the Israeli military intentionally dropped napalm on the USS Liberty and explicitly machine-gunned American lifeboats.
Washington actively covers up this horrific war crime to protect the Zionist regime. Absolute betrayal!
A farmer in Texas says he hasn't seen a single live calf born since a data center was built next to his property.
Only stillbirths since.
If that's happening to livestock what effects will it have on the people around it?
FLASHBACK: Barbara Walters called out Trump for being $3 BILLION in debt, infidelity, not talking to his son, reading the works of Hitler, etc
Real Journalism used to be a thing!
(Now ask yourself what long-term promises you might make to people if you were billions in debt…)
Trump's corruption and criminality is - IMO - going to keep ratcheting higher as his mortality and pathology combine, causing him to panic about his dwindling time on Earth.
People think it is kitchen table issues that will sink him in the midterms. I think it's his corruption and criminality. He will overreach on both. He has no filter, he has no code, and he has no moral compass. He is a void, a parasite, and a black hole.
These terrorists have Trump over a barrel, just like Ghislaine Maxwell does. All they have to do is testify about how J6 was organized and how Trump knew everything and it’s over for him.
What a horror movie this country has become. Just nauseating.
June 1, 1933: The "Fund of German Trade and Industry" is created, a huge slush fund administered by Martin Bormann in the Führer's name. The regime used the funds to compensate SA Stormtroopers who committed street violence, subsize the SS, and enrich Nazi party officials.
List of some people eligible to get payouts from taxpayers from the Trump/Blanche Criminal Slush Fund:
Steve Bannon
Peter Navarro
Rudy Giuliani
Mark Meadows
Stewart Rhodes
Enrique Tarrio
Sidney Powell
Jenna Ellis
John Eastman
Jeffrey Clark
Boris Epshteyn
Joe Biggs
Walt Nauta
🚨OH NO!! The Trump administration just confirmed an American has tested positive for BUNDIBUGYO, a strain of Ebola.
This country can’t survive another pandemic under Trump.
