Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Ruwa Romman: I cannot guarantee that things are going to be OK. That's never something any of us can ever guarantee. But what I can guarantee is that if we show up at bare minimum, we have built enough infrastructure together that we can take care of one another. @ruwaromman.bsky.social
