We’ve seen dishonest, corrupt and downright stupid administrations in the USA but this is a unique and nasty blend of chaos, destruction, cruelty and bottomless greed.
So, hard working, tax paying immigrants from South America are bad, but corporations from South America that lobby and even bribe U.S. politicians to allow them to rape pristine wilderness are good? Have I got that right?
Since the conservation area borders Canada, maybe lawyers in Canada could issue an injunction against any mining activities on the basis that it would certainly pollute Canadian waters, soil, affect residents on the border, impact the local economy adversely etc and threaten suit for punitive damages against the Trump administration and the mining companies.
If you want your hard-earned donation money put to good use, you can't go wrong with Earthjustice and The Center for Biological Diversity. Those organizations know how to litigate and win.
I am appalled! The mining proposal is faulty, there is now way to assure that the non-US business that will strip resources from the land will not also poison the waterways for future generations. Straight out of a William Kent Krueger novel!
When politicians gut protections for a place as irreplaceable as the Boundary Waters, they’re telling you your air, water, and future don’t matter. Using an “arcane legal maneuver” to help a foreign mining company is a straight-up betrayal of the public. Call your representatives to let them know they must quietly dismantle what belongs to all of us.
Is nothing , NOTHING ..SACRED in this world we are habitants of? So many share the anguish of seeing beloved sanctuaries raped. How on earth are we to submit to this atrocious attack of public lands being used as currency to dive deeper into treasures that bring $$$$$$$ but allow the environment to be destroyed??? not just destroyed for people who cherish these wild untouched area, but for all the species that inhabit the forest and lakes, the WHOLE ecosystem???? But of course , we have the uninhibited actions a a very sadistic ,sick man along with his handpicked cronies ruling our country..none who honor life of others, let alone the environment , where Climate Change is a myth.....WHY should we be in shock???So heartily sick of the destruction that has followed when rump is on the POOP DECK has steered our country down the avalanche of"TRASH ANYTHING WE FEEL LIKE", WE ARE ABOVE THE LAW"

We’re not being governed. We’re being looted.
Thanks for this….🤬my fury is going off the charts

Well, of course. Trump lost Minnesota three times. He wants to punish them and help his donor friend. This is Trump politics. Trump first.
Such an abuse of power and influence.
Keep calling your Senators! This isn't done yet! Great coverage as always PD! Keep up the amazing reporting.

the GOP is all about hypocrisy and making money off our collective murder/suicide. MAGA is a death cult.
Man, such a good read. Informed logical comments also. It’s nice to know people care and are paying attention.
Thank you
Was that Bargamin creek, when a ground hornet got you?

I figured the ICE controversy was smoke for something bigger.
