Pete Stauber is out here quoting scripture about brooks and streams while paving the way to destroy ours.
Meanwhile, he's also voting to gut programs his constituents rely on. #bwca #politics #minnesota #petestauber #conservation

Appreciate that. Seems you found the most corporate, traditional playbook candidate somehow... which is odd because she's a ghost on Bluesky or other direct engagement platforms.

We've got some exciting potential in 9 candidates now and no one has interest in #Bwca Or water quality degradation

Canadian friends, please contact your MP to help us shut this down. Ontario will be affected if this is allowed to happen.

Republicans Vote To Destroy Boundary Waters In Giveaway To China’s AI The most popular Wilderness in the country will become a dumping ground for sulfuric acid

This is an excellent read.
The Repukes are giving away the natural beauty of the BWCA to a Chilean billionaire whose company is notorious for contaminating the land.

All the bodies of water in the BWCA watershed are connected. When one gets contaminated. They all get contaminated.

Enveloped by night,
Alone in the wilderness,
Dancing in the dark.

Myself and the other DFL candidates seem to agree (9 total) the #BWCA is a thick red line. And while lame-duck Trump will try what they can, still state+fed roadblocks. Fact is mining <10K jobs in MN. Trina is more pro-mining than most in my view. For openness on these issues only one of us on Bsky

Would you be willing to rank order your preferences of ALL candidates on DFL side you are aware of? Also, how do you see Trina differentiated from others like myself on the #BWCA issue? I really wish she would join Bluesky and discuss these matters more openly with us. Thanks for any reply! ~Bob

The Boundary Waters isn't just a beautiful place—it's Ely's lifeblood. It's how we make our living, how we live our lives, and it's what makes this part of Minnesota home for so many of us. But sulfide-ore copper mining threatens to poison it all.

They're pushing all decisions and costs onto the individual states unless it involves the billionaires stripping us of anything with value. Tell me how a bunch of idiot senators can decide about mining in Minnesota and the damage it's bound to have on the #bwca

A photo of a sunset on Smoke Lake in the BWCA. The sun and clouds are reflecting in the calm water. Peace and tranquility effuse the image.

Stauber, Finstad, Emmer and the other repukes in MN are just whores for the billionaires. They’d sell their own families out if they could pocket a few extra dollars.
They are happily turning a billion dollar a year national park into a wasteland. Save the BWCA!

They're selling your wilderness to China 🇨🇳 → But Minnesota can still stop it 🌊

This is a sad day for our planet, and those who appreciate nature. The Senate passed a bill to overturn a mining ban upstream from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. This will allow a company from Chile to damage the ecosystem in this special area for greed.

Call MN DNR commissioner Sarah Strommen at 651-259-5555 and tell her to protect the BWCA by canceling Twin Metals' leases. You can also tell Tim Walz the same.

Call MN DNR commissioner Sarah Strommen at 651-259-5555 and tell her to protect the BWCA by canceling Twin Metals' leases. You can also tell Tim Walz the same. They both have the power to cancel these leases, especially since the company failed to meet the production and royalty requirements […]

I’m incandescently angry both my senators Grassley and Ernst voted to strip mining protections from the Boundary Waters today.

Opening the door for Trump’s buddy, corrupt foreign CEO of Twin Metals to destroy pristine American public lands.

and it didn’t even fucking make the national news. #BWCA

hereiseeheresy
And today, 51 senators voted to let a foreign corporation poison it for profit that will never reach a single American community.
America First, though.

I’ve been to the Boundary Waters many, many times. It’s Wilderness where you paddle to your destinations for the most part.

You can still see the Milky Way.
The water is some of the cleanest you’ll find in the US.

Bunch of sell outs did what they do best and handed over our wilderness to a Chilean-based company handing over our ore to China. What happened to supporting local business? Having pride in the USofA?

Educate the population.
