🗣️NASHVILLE: “I just came from summer camp at the zoo — did you know elephants, rhinos, giraffes have infrasonic hearing? Please, no data centers. My generation needs you to put every roadblock in place to stop them.” @nonewdatacenters @MetroNashville@DCBLOXinc@NashvilleZoo
This is what happens when people vote Republican
They don't care.
The last Republican who cared about environment and Parks was probably Dwight Eisenhower.
The one before that was Theodore Roosevelt
GOP has thrown its lot with the developers and the rapers of American land
We need to resist this shit every way we can
And we need to be done asking ghoulish and corrupt politicians to please stop taking away our rights.
They work for US and if they don't want to do that, we need to remove them from power ASAP
Fuck these fascists pigs!!! RESIST!!!
Every single person who goes to this slop fest deserves to be made fun of for the rest of their lives. What an absolute joke and disgrace to the most historic landmark of our country. He has made America look like a parody of itself, and nothing can erase the damage he has done. Fuck everyone in this joke of a government for allowing him to get away with this. I can't even believe this is real.
This week, DHS waived every one of our nation's most important environmental laws to bulldoze new border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park. This marks the first time in U.S. history these laws have been waived in a national park.
With these laws gutted and a $1.7 billion construction contract already issued, very little stands in the way of DHS contractors plowing into the park, permanently destroying countless archeological sites, blocking off river access and turning this peaceful national park into an industrial construction zone.
We will continue to fight this project every step of the way... more on that soon.
Audio from NPR's fantastic Studio 1A program, which aired across the country last week.
Saying we hate America because we don’t support Trump is such bullshit. That man is the most anti-American president in history. He’s steamrolled over our values and our norms and put his own interests above America every single time. You are in a cult. Fucking cattle.
Six weeks ago I told you they were coming for Big Bend. Yesterday a court cleared the way for border wall construction in the Big Bend National Park region.
Here's what makes this so enraging:
Big Bend National Park is one of the quietest stretches of the entire southern border. In FY2025, the Big Bend sector recorded just 3,096 apprehensions — 1.3% of all crossings nationwide. Border encounters there have dropped 74% since 2023. The land is remote, rugged, and brutal. It has always been its own deterrent.
And yet — a 30-foot steel wall is coming anyway.
What that wall will actually do: fragment critical habitat for black bears, mountain lions, and the endangered black-capped vireo. Sever one of the last wildlife corridors connecting the U.S. and Mexican Chihuahuan Desert — an ecosystem that doesn't recognize borders.
Block the natural movement of over 450 bird species that pass through Big Bend. Flood one of the darkest night skies in North America with construction lights. Slice through 100+ miles of the Wild and Scenic Rio Grande.
To stop 1.3% of border crossings. On land that was already stopping them on its own.
The administration has now waived the Endangered Species Act, the National Park Service Organic Act, and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act — all at once — to make this happen. The first time in U.S. history any of that has been done inside a national park.
They awarded $4.3 billion in contracts. Steel bollards are already on the ground near Van Horn. Construction starts this summer.
Who do YOU think this wall is actually for?

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.
Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.
Holy shit the boos were crazy and they even yanked Trump off the monitor because it was so bad.
The most unpopular president in history. Herpes is polling 4 points ahead of Trump.
genuine question, why does a train line or a new park have to go thru years of votes and environmental impact studies but something like this can just? happen?
I am a herpetologist. My research focus is lizards. Heartbreaking doesn't even cut it, but I'm hardly surprised.
This man is the reason qualified scientists cannot even get jobs in their fields. There are no jobs. There is no science. Just Christo-Fascist destruction.
this Datacenter is only 200 meters from the zoo. These things make constant noise & heat the surrounding areas by up to 16 degrees. The Nashville Zoo is home to over 350 species of Leopards, Tigers, Rhinos, Zebras, Giraffes, Alligators, Monkeys, & more. Please sign the petition
