🎙️✨ We interrupt your regularly scheduled doomscrolling to bring you: Resistance Rangers On the Air 🙌 Our brand new podcast!
“Resistance Rangers On The Air” circles around a skull with a ranger hat, glasses that shine with LGBTQ pride flags, head phones, and instead of crossbones, cross microphones. The background is light green with radio waves a faded background of the Stonewall Inn today, as Stonewall National Monument. Words say “Episode 1 catches you up on the current insanity at the National Park Service and in the federal government.

Then we dive into
Stonewall National Monument!”A black and white image of Marsha P. Johnson among other LGBTQ supporters at the top. At the bottom is the image of the trans flag proudly waving at Yosemite. In the foreground are words that say “As our only national park site dedicated to LGBTQ+ civil rights, Stonewall stands in conversation with other historic American protest movements

From Seneca Falls to Selma

All reminding us the fight for civil rights is intersectional and ongoing. “
image background is a sunset over the DC mall with a view of the Washington monument. The words say “Yearning for more?

There is always good trouble you can get into on our website and socials

 Info in bio!”

A groundbreaking new study found that the surge in SUVs from 1995 to 2019 reduced Minnesota's highway lane capacity by 9.5%. Less lane capacity --> More congestion Me, in CityLab 🧵

How SUVs Are Making Traffic Worse
As larger, taller sport utility vehicles took over US roads, they also aggravated highway congestion, according to a new study. It’s yet another ill effect of “car bloat.”

You ready for round two?! Protect the Parks Protest is back! This Saturday, March 22—show up to support your closest national park site. Can we get someone at all 433 NPS units?? 🏔️🌵🏕️
Light green background with red text reads “March 22 rally and learn. To protect National parks.  Saturday at noon at a National park near you.” Three geometric blue birds surround the text. Light green background with read text that reads “Ranger fact: irruption birds, like these redpolls, are birds that move unpredictably. As needed, they will gather in large flocks and work together.” Two blue geometric birds frame the text, one above and one below.

GREAT NEWS from the courts today! Illegally-fired feds (including NPS) must be reinstated. BUT will DOI comply? You know the drill, team! Let's tell DOI to follow the law and rehire rangers. Stand up for parks and public lands ✊ Script and addresses at tinyurl.com/RehireDOI #RehirePublicServants

Today's call to action for public lands: flood the DOI phone lines! They are developing action plans as we speak for RIFs (Reduction in Force), canceling building leases and erasing LGBTQ+ history. @mountainscalling.me #RehireRangers #worthfightingfor #ProtectYourParks #StoptheSteal

Someone put up a sign at Badger Ski Area, Yosemite National Park within view of the webcam. Nicely done! Please call & badger YOUR reps about the firing of federal park employees (& NWS, NOAA, FAA, NIH, VA), so many good people we depend upon for health, safety & well-being! @altnps.bsky.social

It's a good day to fight for public lands in #Yosemite National Park. #Bluesky and #distressflag by Upper Yosemite Falls. Hands off America's public lands! Reinstate illegally fired federal workers at #NPS, the #ForestService, #BLM, #NOAA, etc. @resistancerangers.bsky.social #AltNPS

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Firing every federal worker would cut spending by less than 5%—but it would gut oversight of polluters, labor laws, food safety & Social Security. Trump’s plan isn’t about "savings"—it’s about letting billionaires and corporations run our country. #SaveOurServices

An upside down "distress flag" was hung from the walls of El Capitan in #Yosemite during #Firefall to call out that public lands are currently under attack. This is about more than the people fired! 📷: Joshua Mayo.
The setting sunlight strikes a waterfall coursing down El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. To the left of it, an upside US flag, the symbol of distress, is visible.

Another weekend of protests in Yosemite - We are heartened to see the promise of seasonal positions brought back this summer. Cuts to probationary staff at NPS, BLM, and Forest Service still have a huge impact on our public lands. Keep speaking up!!

Love national parks? I'm lucky enough to live in one of the best parks in the world, and on Saturday we held a demonstration to protest the mass & indiscriminate firing of our friends and coworkers. #nationalparks #rangers #publicland #Yosemite #Firefall #fedworkers #massfiring #NPS #ProtectourParks
A colorful sign is held up that reads "We said Firefall, Not Fire them All" A person holds a sign up that reads "Parks Can't Run without Park Rangers" while standing in front of a waterfallA sign is held up that reads "Staff Cuts = Chaos" with a picture of a trash can on fireA person holds a sign that says "Immigrants didn't take our jobs, but Trump did"
