The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

For years we had to hear them cry about some emails to her daughter. But now, a sketchy South African with dubious ties, gets access to all the records of the entire U.S. government so he can let his incel army run all that data through his dodgy AI and the same people are totally silent. SMH

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.
