WTF The Trump administration is planning to evict 950 bison from their grazing pastures on federal lands in Montana. An estimated 60 million bison once roamed the plains of North America before white settlers decimated the population. Bison were often hunted directly from trains after the construction of the American railroads in the 1800s. The slaughter eventually reduced the population to just a few hundred in the 1880s. #Bison #Felon47 #Native #Indigenous https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/article/bison-trump-federal-land-montana-f95rsnmrj

@Yehuda That’s obscene. I hope it never comes to pass.

@Yehuda sickening, but it never ceases to get worse with these people. So, essentially, we're looking at a white supremacist movement whose two most prominent ideologues are Andrew Jackson and, Jeffrey Epstein. They feel emboldened to assault children, despoil the land and further entrench their ideals, as though they are trying to insinuate themselves into the very fabric of the land. And I almost forgot about his idiotic "Mount Rushmore" wishes. It should come down entirely.

@Yehuda this is obscene. And would it kill them to go into even a tiny bit more depth than that white settlers ‘decimated the population’ and ‘hunted them from trains’.

@Yehuda The mask is fully off for the politicians and the Epstein class in this country. No one, especially my fellow white people, have any more excuses that this is the heritage, and history of the USA.

@Yehuda My guess; we already have 2 herds here in Alaska that were brought up to save them from extinction, they will be brought up here for safe keeping. First herd came up in 1915 IIRC, plains bison & wood bison.

@Yehuda "conservatives" hate wildlife & even one living bison is a reminder that genocide was open US policy another example from my state, Louisiana -- the Ivory-billed Woodpecker was deliberately made extinct, they actually hired an artist to document its last days on Earth before the hateful land owner destroyed its forests EVEN THOUGH THE PUBLIC raised a fortune to buy the land https://vocal.media/earth/the-ivory-billed-woodpecker-is-officially-extinct

@Yehuda Removing bison would add to the connative case for protecting and upholding the Constitution (as US military officers have sworn to do) by removing the Trumpists and their funders from being able to continue with the serious violations of the Constitution. Trump is still trying to distract from being heavily involved with the Epstein paedophile sex cult. It must be difficult having the best friend of a pedophile billionaire as your Commander in Chief too. #EpsteinFile
