El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Filling the soap dispensers, cleaning the toilets, kids tours, archaeology, keeping you safe. Just look at the terrible things those wasteful bureaucrats have been getting up to!

Someone has made a Project 2025 tracker. There's so much to fight now and prepare for. Sharing this grab for archaeology, heritage, and conservation colleagues - we have work to do www.project2025.observer
