National parks had a record number of visits last year. Now, an internal memo is directing the National Park Service not to publicize visitors numbers amid the Trump administration’s mass firings of rangers and other employees.

Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?
Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

I’m joining Blue Sky because I miss when social media felt social and less filtered. I never really got into Twitter so I feel hesitant about this switch, but I am not seeing people on my old social media platform anymore…mostly ads and dumb reels.
