Hundreds of people gathered on Saturday at national parks from California to Maine to protest the Trump administration’s firing of at least 1,000 National Park Service employees last month.

"What they see" as a threat to the parks? OMG, seriously, NYT? Why not just say that the Trump regime is normal American government, and the protesters are a bunch of commie trouble makers?
It appears that some of the things that government does is appreciated by citizens. The scorched earth cuts by Elon are setting a fire under protesters. And there are fewer firefighters to put it out. Tough shit, Elon.
Laying off park service members make no sense. They provide such a great service to all who visit them and stay to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors.
Hundreds gathered in little Hailey, Idaho to protest Forest Service firings. This news lede is obscuring the widespread number of people uniting nationwide against Trusk and their disastrous reign.
Our leaders need to project a coherent, aligned and believable plan for public to rally support. GOP did so with P25 (it seems).
Offering better ideas is not a heavy lift -- use media more effectively, be timely in response to events, align talk points, stiffen resolve with solutions. #makeaplan
Better ask to the dumb trump electors why they did this , face to face . your democracy is a joke , the one with money making the show wins as low level people don’t understand anything anymore , and they are a lot in USA
Time to change something no ? Only 2 political parties , a big money show without any values . No debates , no ideas , just a show , trump is the result of your political system , time to change
In Russia, a historically peaceful Christian church is publicly endorsing wars, with its clergy blessing weapons of war designed to kill. Discover the forces behind it in the documentary "The Impact"
They’re making it easier to sell the resources of our national parks. Add tariffs to our neighbors, make it expensive to buy foreign good, and justifying cutting, mining, and drilling off our resources.
It hurts me to think about my children’s lives and how they’ll never enjoy it like I did.
I’m Zach Kahn, a 17-year-old from Charlotte, working to encourage Senator Thom Tillis to hold a town hall here. We’ve launched a petition to push for more accountability. Would you be interested in covering this effort?
But what makes the racist, rapist gameshow host’s wallet fat is fossil fuel companies filling up his hotels in exchange for gutting NPS staff until the parks are so dangerous and poorly maintained that people avoid them and they can be sold off to mining/drilling interests citing lack of use.
Good start, not nearly enough. 1,000 fired, and they didn't even turn up to protest?? You guys need to learn from the French! They know how to protest!
Stand up, speak up speak out don’t wait for somebody else to do it for you. It didn’t work for the Germans with the Nazis in the 1920s and 30s and it won’t work now. Find out where your rallies in Townhall meetings are and attend them and don’t wait for somebody else to speak up for you
Talk about what is at stake. How parks won't function, landscape will change. How people won't enjoy these beautiful places at reasonable costs. How the trash, bathrooms, etc. will be gross. Up your Media Attention. On less mainstream outlets. Make it personal. That's advertising's secret. Emotions!
So many veterans who were federal employees have lost their jobs. Those remaining are now being harassed by POTUS & Elon - weekly 5 bullets every Monday by midnight. Shameful
NPS rangers also must justify their jobs by sending in a weekly email with five things they have done. They are not allowed to respond to visitor queries about the current crisis assailing the National Parks.
I have relatives who have visited many many U.S. national parks -- and they voted for Herr Trumpf both times. Karma comes, but usually only a few get to be the witnesses ...
American egemony MUST END.
The USA is an evil nation, who destroyed different cultures to make the rich healthier, where you can buy weapons like toys, where health system and school system are privileges for the rich.

Very disappointed with Saturday headlines. Zelenskyy wasn’t “combative” he was ambushed. Thinking of cancelling my subscription. There are unsettling signs that editorial control is cow-towing to Trump. Paul Krugman has left, the signals aren’t good.
America’s best idea is being destroyed by the vile Republican Party to give tax breaks to billionaires. Sick and disgraceful attacks on hard working federal employees working for all of us cannot be allowed.
We'll be lucky to keep this treasonous Putin-fellating maniac from putting hotels in our national parks. After all, they'll need housing for the oil drilling teams. But no worries, they'll be classy joints.
NPS staff at Independence National Historical Park told us that they had been about to onboard 12 people when the hiring freeze hit. They were forced to fire 3. Only 6 of 19 buildings are now open. They have 2/3 of the staff needed to educate and celebrate and our nation’s history. #resist
After a horrible train accident where victims still have seen no justice, over 250k Greeks got out on the streets last AND a national general strike ensued.
And it is news for "a few hundred" folks protest for our parks, in a country of 340m facing an existential threat of no comparison? Sad lol.
What’s so infuriating is that Project 2025 and oil industry executives have been talking about drilling in national parks for sometime. Their plan for national parks was all out there BEFORE the election. But the media did such a shitty job reporting on the dangers of Trump 2.0 here we are.

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

Making America Great requires supporting and strengthening the NPS, not destroying it.
