The Arizona monument would be aimed at safeguarding areas near Grand Canyon National Park that local tribes want to protect from uranium extraction

    Good, we don’t need to destroy the world more than we already have, especially when it would mean fucking over Native Americans again. But the fact that we have to do this in order to protect people and the planet is ridiculous. It shouldn’t be an idealism for human lives to matter more than corporate profits.

      While I agree with your statement…

      What about if it’s all just politics and what Biden is doing benefits some other political mission that in the end fucks over the people anyway…

      I can’t trust ANY of them.
