A new law moving through Congress would require the government to sell more than 3 million acres of public land — forests, plains, and open space held in trust for all Americans. Most people haven’t heard about it. That’s by design.
They say it’s for housing. But much of this land is remote, undeveloped, and sacred. These are places that still breathe — places where water runs free, animals roam, and plants grow where they’ve always grown. And now they’re being marked for sale.
There will be no competitive bidding. No tribal consultation. No real environmental review. Just fast-tracked deals for the well-connected, written into law behind closed doors.
They left Montana out of the bill. That’s where a Trump ally lives. His land stays safe. Ours does not.
This isn’t about housing. It’s about power. It’s about turning the natural world into inventory. It’s about erasing the idea that some land should be left alone — not because it’s profitable, but because it matters.
When we let the land be sold, we sell something in ourselves too. And once it’s gone, we don’t get it back.
