The problem is the Right does not care. They just want what is theirs. They live in gated communities.

Until Trump. Soon they’ll be mined for minerals and become resorts for the rich and famous.

Most of the rich and famous despise Trump.

I cannot even accurately express my fear over how many people will die/be injured/be lost in the parks/do damage to the park because the necessary employees will not be there to assist. It is park staff who do search and rescue, provide medical aid, intervene in conflict/crime/vandalism...I just 😩

Oh wow, yes, these National Treasures need protected and managed, I agree.

Trump & his mad Heritage Foundation Christian nationalist puppet masters only see nature/the environment etc as something to dominate al la Old Testament bullshit.

I think the hard answer is that we’ve failed to teach the younger generations these lessons. I’m not that old, but I remember learning many of these and other important historical or governmental lessons. Younger voters don’t know what they’re giving up. Many young men voted for Trump.

Well I would say you're absolutely right .

leave the parks alone you fucking magas

I haven't read project 2025 but saw a commentator mention that killing off the wild horses are also in their plan because takes too many resources to keep alive. So I hold no hope they will be respectful of these beautiful treasures... they will rape the land as they are our government .

Congress (all of them) have been u set funding the NPS for decades. There is a $25 Billion maintenance backlog. Now they are taking away staff and canceling contracts. Get involved.

They're less managed and more preserved, but that's still better than letting the extraction industry exploit & ruin them until they're polluted wastelands.

flugennock.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Well, isn't that sweet.
So, when will the fired Park Rangers start recruiting an undercover "tiger team" to dynamite the Presidents' heads off of Mount Rushmore?
I mean, if we're really talking "bulwarks of the Left", here.

Not for long, they will be all sold to the highest bidder, so who will buy the minning rights, China or Russia maybe Saudi Arabia

The parks show us the beauty of our country. They stir the imagination to see the world before humans came and did their worst! These parks are essential for wildlife that has no where else to go, for people to feel the vastness of nature and to bring peace and connection to all life.

Please
Restore national Park employees to their jobs. They provide vital services to our national treasures.

Not to trump

nickdeanscroggs.bsky.social•1 day ago

And maybe also stuff like protecting natural areas so they aren't sold off to the point where we need exo-packs to breathe outside.

jayjay185.bsky.social•1 day ago

The oligarchs are going to sell federal parks and place the money in the newly created sovereign wealth fund and use the money to buy garbage assets from those same oligarchs who buy those parks. A shell game for the rich.

Our town had the wisdom to buy 20 acres behind our suburban situated house and we see fox, deer, possum, racoon, bob cat and bear on our 1/2 acre next to a major city.
