The Upper Pecos River is New Mexico's only native river. It supplies clean water to farming communities for hundreds of miles. It holds a wildflower that exists nowhere else on Earth. The last mine here killed 90,000 trout. The cleanup from 1939 still isn't finished. The federal government just opened it to mining again. Nobody asked for this. No public meetings. No comment period. Just a quiet announcement on April 6th. The Biden-era rule had built a 20-year mining ban on 165,000 acres. The administration killed it. Effective May 6, 2026. The community was unanimous. Tribes. Elected officials. Outdoor businesses. All said protect it. Washington said no. If a mine contaminated your water source once — killed 90,000 fish, left groundwater that still exceeds safety standards 87 years later — would you open it back up for a foreign mining company? #DemsUnited

The Grand Staircase is under attack — and a vote could happen in the first two weeks of June. People hike it. Camp under some of the darkest skies in America. Explore slot canyons. Watch bighorn sheep. Scientists dig dinosaur fossils there. Six Native nations have sacred sites there. 660 species of bees pollinate its desert wildflowers. This is your land. 1.9 million acres of it. And Congress just found a backdoor to take it. They're using an obscure law called the Congressional Review Act to erase the monument's entire management plan. The plan that took years to build. With public input. Tribal consultation. Scientific research. To destroy it? A majority vote. No public comment period. No hearings. No public voice. Your land. And you don't get a say. If it passes — check the replies. The breakdown of what happens to the land will make your stomach drop. If they can do this to the Grand Staircase — what monument is safe? #DemsUnited
