Although you can't write it, I imagine many of us are feeling the same way.

If you read the article though, it's not as simple as being dissolved. They're just massively reorganizing how it's run so it's dysfunctional and the original mission is lost. They're letting states (industry) have dominating access and control over USFS policies and shutting down long running and irreplaceable research projects. Like RFK's CDC, if you stop testing and gathering facts, you can then justify any policy you want.

Let's not forget it's not all the orange baboons fault. He is surrounded by a gaggle of buffoons that itch to do his bidding, the checks and balances have been bought and paid for. This is a systemic failure of our government that has been guaranteed since big money got into lobbying. If not for big PACS and private donors trump would not be able to accomplish all the shit he has done. The wild dog has been let off the leash and any body that disagrees gets bit. Don't give trump all the credit he's not that smart, there are plenty of players in this game that makes it possible for us to get so utterly fucked. Remember this at the ballot box, and make damned sure every person you know does too. Let's not forget voter complacency is partly to blame here, our country doesn't fail us like this without our complacency.

The members of the Forestry service are the only ones who can stop this. They can refuse to move to Salt Lake and they can refuse any unlawful orders.

Unfortunately they'll have to risk their careers, and their physical well being to do it.

And they will still push ahead with it.

Ah, Justice.

Blitzkrieg Policies. He did it back in his 1st term but no one listened or learned.

It will have been too late

the burden of prophecy 😭

Except it tried to minimize what these pieces of crap are doing.

As stated above, "They’re ripping the headquarters out of Washington and shipping it to Salt Lake City, Utah — the beating heart of the anti-public-lands movement in America. They’re shuttering every single one of the ten regional offices that have governed this agency since Gifford Pinchot built the system over a century ago — and with them, the career professionals who spent entire lifetimes earning the expertise and the authority to push back when politicians came calling with bad ideas and worse motives. They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees called “state directors,” embedded in state capitals alongside the very governors, legislators, and industry lobbyists who have spent their careers demanding that the Forest Service log more, protect less, and get out of the way."

This follows the same old conservative playbook of sabotaging and defending an agency that they hate (because it actually has enforceable rules for the rich) and then complain about it's ineffectiveness while trying to convince you rules to close it down.

Then they can buy our protected forest lands and put in data centers and taco bells. You guys are SO dumb

Eventually people just stop following these “orders”.

Will they though? So far there seems to be an endless supply of eager serfs willing to carry out every single order of his.

Any American regression is still seen as a win by this man.

Eventually is too late.
