Get ready for Trump to sieze and privatize NPS/Fed/Public lands.
Just, prepare yourselves. It will get worse.

The wider #AltFam is with all of you including the Garden Party #Rootsistance members who rallied around a Turnip who ran for a shot at the Presidency.

Sometimes we also just flat out troll Trump or bring attention to those who have:

My father was career Interior/NPS, mostly in the DC office, and though he’s passed, I have to believe he’s goddamn proud of what all the Alt folks are doing. No one has ever accused me of being an optimist, but I do believe we will get through this eventually. Keep the faith! #resist #AltNPS
