Greens Fighting Empire’s Grip in Montana

Democrats talk “bipartisanship” while surrendering to right-wing oligarchic warmongers.
Does anyone really think Dick Cheney is becoming a Democrat?
Election narratives focusing on neoliberal capitalism, imperialism, militarism, and colonialism aren’t debate topics and never make it to the voting booth. These are the ‘isms’ the system runs on. We are not part of it.
Stop identifying with the Ruling Strata.
With courage and creativity, Green progressives can break free of fossilized and oppressive systems steering us all toward economic and social ruin, climate collapse, genocide, and World War III. We are growing a grassroots movement for real people, planet Earth, and peace across all territories.
In Montana, Green Party progressives want an immediate end to genocide in Gaza and true universal healthcare. Democrats sued (2018, 2020, and 2024) to deny voters progressive options.
Voter suppression, blocking fair, open debate and preventing ballot access are tactics commonly employed to ‘erase’ all true-left political entities.
Americans generally say they oppose all systems that constrain or replace the self-evident, natural rights of man (man and woman) or destroy the divine natural gifts their local habitats and holistic ecosystems provide.
In Montana, the systems suffocating our very existence lack any real programs for real people and our life-sustaining environment. We must reinvent real systems and real programs so real people and all real lifeforms can thrive once again without worrying about being turned into “things” to be used to generate profit. Stop identifying with simulation.
With big open hearts, much enthusiasm and effervescence, and a clear vision we must not retreat or concede to the corporate-owned political system dragging us down. Our task is to change direction, change “I” (self-interest) into a new “we” (communication/community). Let’s co-create a refreshed mindset that invites poor, the ailing, young, female, non-white, and common working-class families to make new friends, imagine and dream (big) what our better future might be.
Green Party candidates are fighting for Montana’s better future. Join our fight to end (debt) slavery and to de-colonize our mountainous homeland from neo-feudal slave masters who worship money over all lifeforms. Bloodthirsty Democrats, aligned with Wall Street and warmongers, marginalize and suppress true-left voters, day in, day out. The Green Party remains grassroots and independent despite facing relentless attacks by Democrats. Greens are a people-powered party.
Hard work has produced impressive ballot-access results across the U.S.
I’ve a few thoughts on how we can free Montanans, wild forests, rivers and lakes, wildlife and native fish from Empire’s grip.
Eschew fragmentation using class, markets, profit, material wealth, ethnic supremacy, and colonialism; it’s one cognitive model.
Support a different, more effective environmentalism. Stand up. Fight to protect the environment.
Stop genocide now! End Foreign Wars. Disband NATO and close military bases on foreign soil. Ban nuclear weapons, depleted uranium rounds, and landmines, globally.
End “Full Spectrum Domination” (Wolfowitz Doctrine).
Consolidate all federal programs into one – ‘Medicare for All’ – system. Ensure comprehensive care including dental, mental, vision, hearing, substance abuse, and long-term.
Working men and women must be paid a living wage and paid leave.
Montana’s corporate-owned system is not competent to represent or protect Mother Earth, the source of all life, water, and the air we breathe.
To restore man’s birthright, and dignity, we must quit claiming to be something that we are not, to be property of another. We must be no thing.
We must struggle to break away from false demigods and align ourselves with those who actively protect our natural world. Always remember, the future is not yet written.

Public Meeting at Hub on Smith Concerning Montana Water Call Prompting Priority Administration in Tongue Basin
Wyoming State Engineer Brandon Gebhart announced that on May 5, 2026, the State of Montana placed a call under Article V(A) of the Yellowstone River Compact to fill Tongue River Reservoir in Montana. As a result, priority administration is in effect on post-1950 water rights in Wyoming that divert water from the Tongue River and its tributaries and are not excluded from the compact.
A public meeting will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 18, in the dining room of The Hub on Smith. Attendees are asked to enter on the north side of the building.
The Tongue River Basin has been experiencing drought conditions over the past year with historically low winter snowpack and streamflow conditions. According to the release, those conditions led to Montana’s interstate call and prompted the administration of the Tongue River Basin in Wyoming.
The priority administration will affect post-1950 water rights within the Tongue River Basin, including reservoir storage, stream diversions and groundwater withdrawals, all of which affect river flows. Post-1950 water rights will be regulated off or prevented from turning on. Wyoming hydrographer-commissioners will continue to administer reservoir storage and post-1950 diversions throughout the spring and work with affected water users until the administration is lifted.
As provided in the compact, domestic uses less than one-half acre in area and livestock uses, including stock reservoirs less than 20 acre-feet in capacity, are excluded from this administration. The release noted these excluded rights could be subject to future regulation to satisfy priority calls by senior Wyoming water rights.
Beginning May 5, 2026, Wyoming hydrographer-commissioners have worked to record the current storage levels of reservoirs with post-1950 water rights. Going forward, those reservoirs can continue to accrue storage so long as post-1950 storage gained after the interstate call on May 5 remains in storage until either the water is released to satisfy the Montana call or Montana lifts the call because Tongue River Reservoir will fill.
Reservoirs with unfulfilled pre-1950 water rights can continue to store water and that storage will not be subject to release to satisfy Montana’s call. However, that storage and other direct flow rights could be subject to regulation to satisfy priority calls by senior Wyoming water rights.
The priority administration will be carried out pursuant to state law by hydrographer-commissioners assigned to various portions of the Tongue River Basin, working under the direction of Division II Superintendent David Schroeder.
The Wyoming State Engineer’s Office can be contacted at:
Jack Morey, deputy state engineer, 307-777-5032, jack.morey2@wyo.gov
David Schroeder, Division II superintendent, 307-674-7012, d.schroeder@wyo.gov
