The #DOJ attempted nullification of the #AntiquitiesAct is nothing other than a blatant attempt to rape our natural landscape for obsolete sources of energy and mineral wealth for a very few oligarchical entities.
The opinion cites #SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts in his 2021 response to a denial of certiorari in Massachusetts Lobstermen’s Assn v. Raimondo that he’d be interested in hearing a challenge to the #AntiquitiesAct.
Roberts wrote that the act’s use has been “transformed into a power without […]
“We conclude that the #AntiquitiesAct permits the President to alter a prior declaration of a national monument, including by finding that the ‘landmarks,’ ‘structures,’ or ‘objects’ identified in the prior declaration either never were or no longer are deserving of the Act’s protections,” the […]
#Trump has been largely hostile to large #NationalMonuments & has taken steps to consider allowing #drilling & #mining companies to access minerals within them.
In his first term, Trump shrank Utah’s Bears Ears & Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments, which were created by fmr […]
#Trump #DOJ Outlines Legal Justification to Abolish Monuments
A US president’s power to create & undo #NationalMonuments under the 1906 #AntiquitiesAct is among the White House’s “most sweeping unilateral powers,” the DOJ said in a slip opinion.
The opinion forms the DOJ’s rationale for […]
119 years ago today, the #AntiquitiesAct became law, and since then, 18 presidents have used it to protect places like the Grand Canyon, Bears Ears & the Statue of Liberty.
Today, it’s under threat.

This Sunday, June 8, is the anniversary of the Antiquities Act, first passed in 1906, that authorizes the President to declare federal lands as national monuments.
#AntiquitiesAct
*#Conservatives* in Western states especially have long seen the president’s power to unilaterally set aside land as an example of federal overreach, w/many viewing it as a burdensome restriction on #mining & #drilling.
…During his confirmation hearing, Interior Secretary #DougBurgum said the […]
Signed into #law by President Theodore Roosevelt, the #AntiquitiesAct of 1906 gives presidents vast powers to #protect #lands & #waters through the creation of #NationalMonuments. But the law is quiet on whether presidents can remove designations set by their predecessors.
The Bureau of Land […]
The push would spark an intense #legal fight over the right of a president to grant sweeping #lands #protections under the 1906 #AntiquitiesAct — & take them away. In his 1st term, #Trump became the 1st president in more than half a century to modify existing #NationalMonuments when he […]
More than 300 elected officials from across the West, including leaders here in Nevada, are calling on Congress and the Trump Administration to fully fund public land agencies and protect the tools — like the #AntiquitiesAct — that keep these places intact.

[3/5] #AntiquitiesAct de 1906 permet de créer, élargir ou réduire un monument national. Entre 2016 et 2021, Bears Ears (Utah), site culturel autochtone, a été réduit de 80%, puis restauré. Cette instabilité fragilise la gestion du patrimoine national. #geography #HGGSP #Nationalparks #Federalstate
The #AntiquitiesAct is as bipartisan as can be. 18 presidents – nine Democratic & nine Republican – have established or expanded over 160 #nationalmonuments using the act. From President Hoover to now, presidents have protected cultural & biologically important landscapes.

Rep. have introduced two bills in Congress that would end the president’s authority to create national monuments.
They want to drill & mine-they must be stopped!

2/ Through the #AntiquitiesAct, we protected Avi Kwa Ame, ensuring its future for Indigenous Tribes and Nevada families.
Now, that protection is at risk…
If this bill passes, Avi Kwa Ame and other treasured places face uncertain futures.
New UT Rep. Celeste Maloy wants to repeal the #AntiquitiesAct. It’s a wonky thing that may bore the shit out of people, but it matters.
Doing away with the #AntiquitiesAct would make it next to impossible to conserve public lands — and make it easier to fence people out and privatize public lands.
