Water isn’t oil. We can live without oil. We can’t live without water. And the West is running out. Who owns what’s left is the story of the next decade. #WaterGrab #ClimateCrisis
Western farmers are being squeezed by debt, drought & water cuts until they go bankrupt. Land + water rights then get snapped up by corporations/hedge funds. Here’s how it works 👇 #WaterGrab #ClimateCrisis

Who is the land being sold to? Why no public hearings or comments?

After the House of Representatives removed 500,000 acres of public land for sale in the "Big Beautiful Bill," Utah Senator Mike Lee added it back in, but this time to the tune of 3.3 million acres. • There's 250+ million acres eligible that include our favorite recreation spots and our nation's largest supply of municipal water. See the map • The land will be primarily sold in the first 30 days (almost as if they have buyers) and there will be NO public comment, meaning our only time to stop this is now. • If President Trump is able to remove the protection of our monuments, then they anticipate an additional 13.5 million acres being sold. • These are short-term gains considering the Forest Service alone contributes $13.6 billion to the GDP annually and supports 205,000 jobs. All while
Samuel Cuthell 2h United States Biosphere Network... Joseph Shurtleff the first 3.3million acres up for sale lie primarily in the high country of USFS lands. The high country is where the headwaters for 60% of the West's freshwater originates. The lack of public comment, lack of transparency of purchasers, and the speed with which it will be sold all align with this being a water grab.
Factcheck: TRUE!! #MikeLee is WORST GOP Senator ever
Also, it’s a #WATERgrab!
Check out #SaveTheForestServiceActionGuide for actions we can take! We cannot let this pass!

Sen #MikeLee added this #PublicWealth land and #WATERgrab into #TrumpsHorribleBill??
“Forest Service is largest source of municipal water in our country. Urban areas are included in this. Portland, LA, Denver, and Atlanta specifically receive a huge portion of this water”

Trump’s #HorribleBill is not just about dismantling our agencies and stealing #PublicWealth - it’s also a #WATERgrab!
No public hearings or comments - is a buyer is already lined up?
The bill passes and it’s a done deal.

A photorealistic, AI-generated image of a woman and two children at a dry public water tap in a dusty rural area. One child holds a metal cup to the tap, the other watches quietly. Behind them, fenced industrial pipes stretch toward the horizon. Natural light and earthy tones underscore the scene’s emotional gravity. This image is AI-generated for awareness.
Today’s underrepresented issue:
In rural Chile and India, public taps run dry—while private pipelines gush.
Water rights are sold off behind closed doors.
The future isn’t just dry. It’s privatized.
