And all of this is happening while Trump’s daughter and son-in-law are trying to turn protected Albanian coastline into a billion-dollar luxury resort for the ultra-rich.
As if destroying institutions and poisoning political culture at home wasn’t enough, now they are helping destroy protected nature abroad too.
Forests, wildlife, ecosystems, protected coastal areas — none of it seems to matter as long as billionaires get another private paradise where they can sunbathe, sip cocktails and play “exclusive island lifestyle” while local people lose their land and nature forever.
To them, the planet has become one giant Monopoly board: buy an island, build luxury resorts, bend the rules, cash in.
The problem isn’t just Donald Trump. It’s an entire culture of greed and entitlement where money matters more than nature, wildlife, history or the people who actually live there.
That’s why thousands of Albanians are protesting today with one simple message:
Let us also not forget the atrocity in the making of Boundary Waters, Minnesota. Here we have an example of the administration and the Republican congress greenlighting the sale of a most pristine wilderness and the cleanest source of water for those states [and Canada] being sold off to an Argentina copper mining company. The resulting contamination will be permanent making the waters undrinkable for eons and with no benefit to the little people of the US or Canada. The physical damage has not begun but the legislation was just signed yesterday to make way for the mining company to begin. 1100 lakes and 1200 miles of canoe routes RUINED! There may still be time to stop this, but it gets no press from the lame stream media. Get involved!!!
Thanks for focusing on this. It just makes me so furious that PUBLIC lands, belonging to ALL OF AMERICA, are being treated like their personal cash cows by Felon47 and his buddies. So many people, for so many years, have fought so hard to protect these unique and beautiful locations and to keep them available for other humans to enjoy long after we are gone. That these morons are so willing to destroy these places forever, to destroy lands held sacred by Native peoples with absolutely no care or concern for anyone else is purely disgusting.
It’s all so depressing. I don’t see how we’ll ever be able to turn it around. The damage to the environment will likely be irreparable.
As an aside: Can your social media person have someone contact me about an issue with my subscription billing? I’ve tried calling and emailing but haven’t received a response. Thanks.
Make America Great Again by voting EVERY Republican out of office. Elect only democrats or people who exhibit integrity! Enough destroying our environment.
Donald is motivated and inspired by the prospect of making money. Protecting the environment doesn't make him any money, so he is not interested.
Even worse for the environment, he makes decisions that worsen the environment and, at the same time, intensify both environmental and climate change.
The global catastrophic consequences of severe climate change are real, constitute an existential threat, and should be addressed as a national and global priority. Yet Donald is so selfish and mentally deranged in thinking that making money is the only measure of his self-worth that he lets the environment, among many other critical things, go to hell. He is one wretched and deplorable individual. And worse.
Great write up, Mary❤️. You always shed light on the massive damage being done against our will. The rest of the world should sue us for damaging their home. The oligarchs don’t own this planet and never will. Our Congress has become effectively irrelevant, with no meaningful safeguards or oversight remaining. This regime needs to be removed and replaced through whatever means necessary now. We the people (with brains, logic and empathy) and the rest of the world need to team up, there are no rules now. Let’s get them out, we cannot afford to wait much longer.
Capitalism is by its nature short-sighted. Left to its own devices, it will run itself and the country into the ground. This is history, not hyperbole.
The whole goal behind these undertakings by him it to save money for the companies these regulations have applied to. To thank him for this, they'll make nice, big donations to his causes which no doubt include money that somehow will end up in his pocket. His kids don't say anything even though his policies will affect their children, his grandchildren. When he dies, they'll be left lots of money and being a Trump means putting money ahead of everyone and everything else.
A former partner had a fairly high-level position, and eventually became a VP, in a Wall Street firm. She was also, perhaps not surprisingly, a Republican. But even she believed that industries, including hers, needed to be regulated. “This business is full of thieves,” she would explain.
New York City, where I live, has its “Asthma Alley” coursing through four of the city’s five boroughs. It includes the highest pediatric asthma rates in the US. Residents also contend with a host of other health issues. Perhaps not surprisingly, much of the “Alley” consists of industrial areas, power plants, highways—and low-income neighborhoods. It’s an example of how environmental and economic (in)justice are interconnected. Could it be that Trump and fellow oligarchs know this, and it’s the reason why they’re against environmental regulation? After all, what could they want less than economic justice?

I suggest the best way to Make America Great Again is to erase all things Trump.
Not Mary or Fred III and their kids, however.
Absolutely
I'm making a poster out of that. Thank you.

Oh how l wish l could say you exaggerate in placing blame on one man. But the truth is corporate greed is no limited to one person.
Your uncle, our undeserving leader, exemplifies corruption on a level that few if any have reached.
And that’s saying something!

This essentially puts all public lands into private industry hands.
The oligarchs don’t care what happens to our environment. They’ll just take their $ and move.

I am very comforted by how old I am. I pray daily for all who will live (or die) with the consequences of these actions. I also pray there is a hell.
Don the dark destroyer commits to disproportionate, deathly deeds. Poor planet, poor people, poverty of mind.
