If you live in the mountain west, stuff like this should be a core voting issue. It’s about the survival of an entire way of life.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

This was never about woman's sports
