On Sunday, hundreds of NPS employees at parks across the country were “consolidated” to DOI. Positions affected include:
park spokespeople
media specialists
exhibit designers
IT  professionals
DOI Sec. Burgum has delegated his authority to  DOGE staffer and former oil executive Tyler Hassen. This puts DOGE in charge of all NPS communications.

We don’t know exactly how many employees have been removed from the agency. (Internal comms suggested 1,600— 9% of the remaining NPS workforce.) We don’t know what this means for our colleagues. But we do know that this is a tactic to hide the continued dismantling of the NPS.

Help your fellow public lands supporters get the uncensored story. Comment on official park social media posts to spread the word about @ResistanceRangers (Instagram + BlueSky) and ResistanceRangers.org. NPS employees cannot safely share these accounts ourselves.

The hits keep coming, y’all. In a new move in their continued dismantling of the National Park Service, the Trump administration, hundreds of employees were removed from their position as rangers. Employees were told Friday afternoon they were being “consolidated” to the Department of the Interior.

When all your opinions and policies are based on personal self interest it’s easy to get caught in conflicting positions.

Rumor is that the Republican president elect is moving the inauguration indoors because he’s worried about crowd sizes.

Ironic that the Felon in Chief will be sworn in in the location he incited the Jan 6 Insurrection just a few years ago. I hope the media mentions that repeatedly.

Trump just named Jared's father, Charles Kushner — who he pardoned in 2020 — to be Ambassador to France.

Kushner hatched a scheme involving a prostitute to entrap his brother-in-law and eventually pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations.

If you're wondering why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida to meet with Donald Trump, it's because Canada doesn't allow convicted felons into the country.

Remember when, the Trump Administration caved to Big Pharma and broke their promise to enable Medicare drug negotiations?

Do not forget it was President Biden and Democrats in Congress who actually got this done!

It’s interesting that people who lived in the 1950s and faced polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases, terrible tooth health, threat of nuclear war, horrible environmental damage and demeaning work environments are dreaming of heading back to those days. Nostalgia for times gone by.
