NEW: Workers who were fired at Yosemite National Park in the Trump administration's effort to shrink the federal government say the upside-down U.S. flag hung from the top of El Capitan was a call to reinstate employees and protect public lands.

"The demonstration came at a time when all eyes are on the summit for the firefall viewing event " a phenomenon that unfolds in February when Horsetail Falls, a seasonal waterfall on the east side of El Capitan, takes on an orange, lava-like glow as the sun sets. The event attracts a flurry of photographers who wait hours for the perfect shot."

Alex Wild, a former Yosemite and the only certified EMT ranger at Devils Postpile National Monument in California, told NBC's Morgan Chesky last week: "I'm the only person available to rescue someone, to do CPR, to carry them out from a trail if they got injured."

Thank you Republican voters for making the country less safe for all of us while making life easier for the oligarchs. Great job!

Are we sure they don't want to overturn President Biden's 2020 election win?

I am ready to be outraged, just let me know.

Democrats doing what they always do best which is using their flags and anarchy to divide USA, making Communism great, and always harming America.

Alitos

Those shttheaps used the upside down flag to support insurrection.
I knew MAGAts can't figure out even the most basic things.
You dumbasses prove it every day.

We seem to have entered a time warp and now are in France, pre-revolution, with the royalty, who own everything, laughing at the very poor struggling to survive. As Bernie says, three people own more wealth than half of Americans own.
This is much worse than how I felt during the Nixon years as he both pretended to stop the war, and pursued it massively.

Democrats feel the need to fly every flag but the USA flag properly. They fly rainbow flags not because their pet died, but because they always want to be different and tout their different loyalties and demographics and sexuality and politics and claim to be a different culture from average Americans. They will never be a people that want unity. Most people don't give a hoot about your sexuality or gender unless it is used to gain some physical or claimed advantage, but we do give a crap about unity. Current Democrats will be lucky to ever again be a mainstream political entity.

oh no! no more busybodies to direct people about and tell them that they're being outside wrong. Can't put a tent over there, or do this or that because it will hurt the environment around the park that literally catches on fire every single year and is fine afterwards.

They're Yosemite Sam pissed about it.

Can't touch this!

Can't wait to see what Yosemite looks like after maga maroons finish redecorating it.

The same morons tried to sell out Florida's state parks for high rise rentals, golf courses, and pickle ball courts. MAGA morons. At least in Florida there was a massive backlash once people figured out what the MAGA POS Governor was up to. First step on the National scale, get rid of the staff and those that love the Parks. Second step, start selling off Federal resources, BLM operated lands, and federal properties (the latter is already in process). Third, cut the "red tape" that prevents development. It's going to be "Big Sky" all over again.

Deplorable Trumping MAGAts siding with Trump over America.

It's not even surprising anymore how much Republicans hate America.

Here is what they plan for our National Parks.

So, this treasonous coward is more concerned about these poor folks that lost their livelihood and 'then' hung a flag upside down in a park to illustrate that the Park and USA is under attack by vampires in business suits. To a National Park that they have given their lives to and for some of them working up there for decades to learn the specific skill sets needed to manage the parks safely and properly for the American public. Those workers represent the American public -------- as opposed to those that stormed the US Capital committing treason in order to stop an election's results from getting counted. Those hicks also had numerous flags hanging upside down too yet somehow you did not see them?
GFY traitor!

They didn't lose their jobs. This was an act of insurrection by crisis actors paid by Soros.

It's funny to see the rugged manly men who voted for the billionaire city slicker confused that he does not share their values.
