@Tim_Walz @GovTimWalz does the MN executive branch have a plan to counter this? Can the DNR revoke the 1990 permit #quetico #superiornationalforest

Do not lose hope. This fight is not over. We should all be so proud of the coalition we built to fight this.

Tribal Nations. Outdoorsmen. Conservationists. Public lands advocates. But most importantly, Minnesotans who deeply appreciate what these waters mean to all of us and our shared obligation to safeguard them for our kids, our grandkids, and every generation thereafter.

One day, the shoe will be on the other foot, and they will regret what they did to the Boundary Waters today — because this was a mistake. They’ve set a new precedent that no public lands are ever truly safe, including those in Montana. Utah. The Dakotas. Idaho. Republicans privately told me they knew this is wrong, and I wish they had voted their conscience.

Tonight, we take a much-needed rest. Tomorrow, we figure out what comes next.

Save the Boundary Waters.

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters.

The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.

The way Republicans passed this bill that prevents future administrations from issuing protections for Superior National Forest, so this pristine land will be exploited in perpetuity unless Congress intervenes to reverse this decision.

The state of Minnesota can still block the Chilean mining corporation from operating in Superior National Forest and protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

You can't mine at Yosemite. You can't mine at Yellowstone. You shouldn't be allowed to mine in the Boundary Waters.

Republicans are trying to sell out our most pristine waters to a foreign mining corporation.

NO.

[Boundary Waters @savethebwca]

Today, the U.S. Senate passed legislation that unravels protections for the Boundary Waters watershed. The vote passed by 50-49.

As many of us have been saying for over a decade, sulfide mining near the Boundary Waters will be an environmental and economic disaster. Sulfide mining projects are planned by foreign billionaires who have no intention of cleaning up after themselves.

This is what we’re fighting for!

Because of you, calls are coming in strong and your voices are being heard in the Senate. It’s making a difference.

Keep going!!! Call 202-224-3121 and tell your Senators to vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The Senate is about to vote on handing a national forest over to a foreign corporation.

A Chilean mining company wants to develop a copper mine upstream from the Boundary Waters, a pristine wilderness.

The GOP has to choose between a foreign corporation and their constituents.

[Nick Offerman @Nick_Offerman]

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O

Three sources tell 60 Minutes that undercover agents purchased a miniaturized microwave weapon from a Russian criminal network. Secret U.S. military lab testing of the device on rats and sheep has resulted in symptoms similar to Havana Syndrome, a confidential source says. https://t.co/APrnWVh6FP
