ALT NPS is not what you think it is.
AltWatcher@altwatcher.bsky.social · 5mo agoAltNPS has been focused on the threat to the US Forest Service this week, and even launched a website in an effort to pressure brands to speak out. And that's great! There's just one problem. They plagiarized the whole thing.
REI and Patagonia both spoke out against the dismantling of the US Forest Service thank you to both of them! We’ve updated our website and added L.L. Bean to the pressure campaign.

Once again Senator Lee thinks he can sneak in attacks to our public lands and we won’t notice. And once again, he’s wrong. We’re here, we’re watching, and we’re not letting up.
Great coverage by @kqednews.kqed.org of the "dubiously legal" moves to manipulate NPS staff performance review, as well as planned wage cuts of up to $3.5/hour for Yosemite maintenance employees. The hits keep coming.

Okay, for all you “Death by Lightning” fans… Here’s Part II of a two-parter I wrote years ago on President Garfield’s assassination. I posted Part I earlier today. These were done in conjunction with the 2016 airing of the @pbs.org American Experience documentary “Murder of a President.”
