Our National Parks have been one of the great things about this country for generations, and now they are under severe, mindless attack by the Trump-Musk regime.
The photo shows a distress flag, the US flag upside down, that was hung on the cliff walls of Yosemite – by Park Rangers, who can not stand to watch their parks ruined by the idiotic budget and staff cuts.
These people don’t get paid much to start with. The total budget is under 6 billion or .1% of our budget, and a small fraction of what Musk paid to buy Twitter.
Keep in mind that people from around the world come here to see the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and all the others.
Perhaps Trump and Musk want the parks to be so badly run that they can privatize them and make them all Trump resorts?
WHAT WE CAN DO:
Again, there are great parks in red states: Hot Springs in Arkansas, Everglades in Florida, Yellowstone in Idaho, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, Gateway in Missouri, Great Smokey Mountain in Tennesee, Bryce an Zion in Utah, Grand Teton in Wyoming: all red states that stand to lose a lot of visitors as the parks become un-visitable.
Call your Senator and Reps and demand an end to this destruction and to get Musk out of the government.
