Today’s target
ABOLISHBLM
Bureau of Land Management
The federal government owns one in every ten acres in America.
Official story
What they claim to do
Manages public lands for energy, grazing, recreation and conservation.
Ground truth
What they actually do
Manages about 245 million acres, roughly one in ten acres of U.S. land, mostly in 12 Western states. Federal control over grazing, mining and energy leases has produced decades of standoffs, from Nevada’s Bundy Ranch in 2014 to the Malheur refuge occupation in 2016.
The libertarian case
Western communities live next to land they have no say over, while the bureau manages it from Washington. Transfer it to the states, or to private owners and conservation trusts with real stakes in its upkeep. Abolish the BLM.
