Thank you, Marianne for this post. I worked for the National Park Service for almost 20 years. I'm retired now.
I LOVED my job. I LOVED the people I worked with. All were devoted to the park service mission.
I almost can't believe that this dismantling is happening.
And for the life of me, why are the WORKERs being fired and villainized?! I feel very angry about what this administration is doing and what they are conveying to the public about Federal Employees in general. And ultimately all of it is to gain public support so that when the admin says they are selling off public lands for oil and gas exploration, then the public will reason that it's for the betterment of our country. I know that not all people will stand beside the administration in this, but many will.
I know that people are speaking out, protests are happening, and calls and donations are being made to various organizations. But, still, these voices seem to be crying out in the wilderness. Our government is rampaging, and a bunch of weeny little puppets in Congress are shaking in their shiny shoes, out of fear of the retribution of this horrific man and his henchmen.
Thank you for your service. And thank you for speaking up now. We’re in the midst of a terrible chapter, there’s no doubt about it. But we need to persevere. I feel in my heart we will get through this.
We are all together on this. May we stay strong. In fact, the world is with us. The team making all these atrocities is tiny. God cannot be mocked. ♥️🙏🏻🌈
Trump is a mentally ill person. He doesn't know what he is talking about and lies all the time. I was watching this video few minutes ago that I share with you.

Trump reveals his 'end game' in dealing with Canada 4:59 min
¨Canada's trade deficit with the US is $60B, not $200B. And that is because the US buys oil from Canada at $20 below market value which we agreed to sell to the US exclusively (no one else). 99% of trade between Canada and the US was free trade up until now. He focuses on dairy, which is free trade until a limit (then the 250% tariff comes into play). The US has never achieved this limit, not even half of it, therefore there are no tariffs on US dairy to date. Also, the US has the EXACT SAME LIMITS AND IDENTICAL TARIFFS ON DAIRY. These figures were SET by Trump. The misinformation as unbelievable - and scary to be honest, because he is justifying making a big move on Canada.¨

¨buying oil is NOT a subsidy !!!!! America gets a product for the money, a subsidy is a hand out. The US buys from Canada for 2 reasons, 1 the US does not have enough of the product, and/or 2 the US can buy it cheaper from Canada than they can produce it themselves. STOP calling it a SUBSIDY.¨
It’s all happening so fast it is difficult to stay on top of it . Thenk you for informing us of all the ways they are attempting to take over . We cannot let this happen ! Our parks belong to us and they are there for all Americans to enjoy and find peace in the natural beauty of this country .🙏
There are so many outrages being foisted on us-yet the Lamestream Media claims that Trump's approval ratings are "the highest they've ever been". Lies, from those we used to trust, are as much to blame as the actions of the Administration itself. Thank you, Marianne, for all you are doing to call attention to each of these travesties.
Love love love what you have shared here Marianne! Having visited Yosemite nearly every year during my youth and many times as an adult my soul weeps as our natural treasures are under attack! We need to stop these rich dude’s who really don’t have a clue as to what is most important! May us who know better prevail
Trump and his minions have no deep sense of the part of our humanity that can stand in awe and be transported by the spectacle of nature! Could they stand facing El Capitan or gaze into the depths of the Grand Canyon and marvel at the awesome beauty,to feel one with nature! They are seriously lacking in even the barest spirituality! Sad!
The U.S. sells more goods to Canada than to any other country, and Canada buys more U.S. goods than China, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom combined. Canada is the top U.S. export destination for more than half (50 out of 97 product categories) of all goods produced in the United States...
Quick facts:
There are 13 U.S. states, seven Canadian provinces and one territory along the border. Most Canadians – 2 out of 3 – live within 100 km of the border.
Each day, US$2.5 billion in goods and services cross the Canada-U.S. border. This amounts to nearly US$1 trillion per year.
Canadian companies employ approximately 900,000 workers in the U.S. and nearly 8 million U.S. jobs are tied to trade with Canada.

Canada is the top U.S. export destination for more than half (50 out of 97 product categories) of all goods produced in the United States.
Motor vehicles, machinery, metals and minerals, and agri-food made up more than 50% of U.S. exports to Canada in 2023. Canada buys 73% of U.S. exports of trucks and 36% of fruits and vegetables.
Canada is investing $1.3 billion to bolster security at the border and strengthen the immigration system, all while keeping Canadians safe.
U.S. manufacturing depends on Canada: roughly 70% of Canadian goods exported to the U.S. are used in the production of other goods.
Cutting every congressional politician's pay would help. Most of them are multi-millionaires already grifting off the taxpayer. They should get paid in accordance to what they do. That means they should work for free.
I agree with all the comments that Trump is an idiot and dangerous, but the WH has been idiotic and dangerous and mendacious domestically and in foreign policy since FDR died.
I didn't realize that the park service had been reinstated. Amazing news.
Thank you for continually calling out what the billionaires are doing. We should all be united in perserving our national interests over their personal gain.

Oh Marianne, your strength and wisdom is much needed. Blessings in all you do. Thank you so much for staying active.

Astounding commentary and also deeply frightening! Once again Marianne knocks it out of the park(s)...
Smash and Grab! This is what they are doing. They are destroying United States.
Trump and his minions have no deep sense of the part of our humanity that can stand in awe and be transported by the spectacle of nature! Could they stand facing El Capitan or gaze into the depths of the Grand Canyon and marvel at the awesome beauty,to feel one with nature! They are seriously lacking in even the barest spirituality!

🎵This land is your land.
This land is my land.
From California to the New York Islands.
From the redwood forests to the gulfstream water,
This land was made for YOU AND ME. 🎵
I agree with all the comments that Trump is an idiot and dangerous, but the WH has been idiotic and dangerous and mendacious domestically and in foreign policy since FDR died.
We need a march on Washington (like we did for the Vietnam war).
I read and watch everything you post Marianne. This one though is particularly heartbreaking. I can hardly watch. May God prevail.
Heart centered awareness has been my mo, being and becoming my higher Self in every breath I take.
The world I live in is filled with joy, the only leadership I follow is God within!!!
May you know the peace of God.
