Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be.

Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

i think most white americans who have never been Policed don’t realize that you are always already a criminal.

the second anyone with institutional power believes you to be, needs you to be, or wants you to be a criminal you are and always have been.

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a “criminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one

Kate Severson, a federal park ranger at Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota. Severson was one of the thousands of newly-hired federal workers to be abruptly fired Friday, February 14, 2025, as part of the Trump administrations push to downsize the federal government.

Musk and Trump should have to face the hardworking Park Rangers they sacked.

I’m bringing Kate, who was unjustly fired from northern Minnesota’s Voyageurs National Park, to the State of the Union.

‘It’s Not About the Paycheck, It’s About the People’: Fired Workers Rally at Glacier National Park The outset of March dawned blue and bright for Jon Zanett, who set out from his Columbia Falls home for a Saturday morning trail run at Cedar Flats, a nearby trail system in development on the Flathead National Forest. His two Siberian husky dogs joined him. By noon, he’d dropped off the dogs and picked […]

Sure, the US Constitution is being shredded and 80 years of post–war foreign policy is being blown up but let’s all clutch pearls about whether @altnps.bsky.social is run by *real* park rangers or not. 🙄

Beautiful essay, speaking for all who love mountains and fresh pow: “I’ve found that nothing cures a racing mind quite like skiing through the trees and stopping to take a deep breath of that fresh…National Forest air…Natl Forest lands & Natl Parks are under attack by the current Administration…”

Joshua Tree National Park is a US National Park located in southeastern California, straddling north-central Riverside County and part of southern San Bernardino County. Named after the endemic Joshua tree, found in the park and surrounding areas, Joshua Tree is situated some 130 miles east of the city of Los Angeles and roughly 78 mi east of the city of San Bernardino. Among some of the closest cities to the park are Indio, Palm Desert, and Palm Springs. Originally declared a national monument in 1936, Joshua Tree was redesignated as a national park in 1994 when the U.S. Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act. Encompassing a total area of 795,156 acres—slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island—the park features 429,690 acres of designated wilderness. The park encompasses portions of two deserts, each a unique ecosystem with characteristics determined primarily by elevation—the higher Mojave Desert and the lower-lying Colorado Desert. The Little San Bernardino Mountains line the southwest edge of the park.[

How Seriously Should We Take the Sale of Federal Lands? Very Seriously, Experts Say There is a major push within the second Trump administration, Congress, and certain Western states to dispose of federal public land. It's a real threat.

To those of you who think selling off public lands isn’t in the realm of possibilities. The administration has already begun stripping them of protections.
