Republicans want to mine the fucking Grand Canyon. I've never heard of anything so un American.

Fucking over First Nations people seems pretty American to me.

But normally the fucking happens in way-off corners of the country that the majority is happy to not think about.

Not that it makes it right, in any sense, but the grand fucking canyon? Conservatives are getting more brazen by the day.

Republicans think it’s unamerican to protect federal lands. Business interests above everything. Unless the business is “woke,” of course. Then they are all in on shutting down businesses.

The national monument will protect lands important to a dozen Native American tribes, in part, from potential uranium mining. It will also help tell the “full American story” of the people who have called the region home for millennia, Biden said during his speech.

…

But the national monument designation has already been criticized by House Republicans who have called for a probe for information on how the monument boundaries were selected and how it will affect mining and energy development. They’ve argued it will block new uranium mining at a time when the U.S. should be looking to become more energy independent, especially given the prominence of Russia in the market to provide low-enriched uranium to nuclear reactors.

Aren’t we already energy independent?
