NEW: I spoke to SJ Joslin, a park ranger and wildlife biologist who was fired by Yosemite National Park last week for helping to raise a transgender pride flag on the park's iconic El Capitan rock face.
The ex-ranger said they plan to fight the decision, citing an executive order issued by President Trump that protects Americans’ free speech rights.
"[NPS is putsuing] possible criminal charges against several park visitors who are alleged to have violated federal laws and regulations related to demonstrations.”
being visibly trans is now a federal crime? well gee golly
No good deed goes unpunished. Incredibly brave actions by an incredibly brave person.
Joslin plans to fight the decision, citing Trump's "free speech" executive order.
“I think that everyone as Americans should be upset about this, and it doesn’t matter who I am or what my identity is, this is a matter of free speech," they said.

Sorry, which federal criminal law did they allegedly violate?
oh I had been informed it was only about fairness in sports.
i was also informed it was offensive to suggest these people are just bigots
Horrible. National park visitors need to bring all of the trans pride flags. 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
I'm no lawyer but isn't this a violation of the 1st amendment??
See recent DHS statement on First Amendment rights of (Nazi crazy) gov. spox.
‘They are not migrants. They are not ‘undocumented.’ They are an invading army. The largest invasion in American history,’ DHS speechwriter writes on X
Being criminally investigated too. Ludicrous and shameful

Cancel culture - a fascist projection-confession every kind of media latched onto

So busy firing government employees and fighting in court, they don't have time to investigate real national threats
