building homes

You think anyone in this administration gives a shit about the housing situation!? This is an article about our (We The People) national forests! They're stripping the country for parts. Fuck, when's the next date we all protest and march!?

No, I don't think for one second that they care about getting people housed.

not to be rude but why would you think it would matter at all? they know people don't want this and they don't care. power cedes nothing without a demand. the tool you're looking for is violence, not protest.

About

Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.

Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more...
