Defending America’s national parks from Trump’s attacks. Fighting privatization, cuts, and corruption to protect our public lands. #SaveOurParks
Get yourself someone who looks at you like Doug Burgum looks at Saudi oil barons. Have you ever seen someone fawning over oligarchs while assaulting our #PublicLands and #Parks? Neither have we. Burgum’s got a real corruption problem. #SaveOurParks

An Interior Secretary in hot water for international junkets on the taxpayer dime? Sounds awfully familiar. Ryan Zinke’s scandals were too much for even Donald Trump, and he barely lasted two years on the job. Tick tock, Secretary Burgum.

Aren't you still pissed about Trump destroying the East Wing of the People’s House? Gov’t still shut down, national debt skyrocketing, and Trump's top priority is lawless destruction. Burgum is cheerleading it all on as the GOP controlled Congress twiddles their thumbs.

Doug Burgum’s top priority:

❌ Taking care of our crumbling parks and public lands

❌ Paying park rangers, firefighters, and first responders

✅ Taking a luxurious weeklong swing through the Middle East and Europe

Did you hear about Trump & Burgum's latest anti-public land, anti-public access crony nominated to lead the nation’s largest resource and public land management bureau?

He's a repeat loser who has a long track record of doing the bidding of monied interests at our expense. https://bit.ly/499JoAg

Some unanswered questions from Doug Burgum's junket abroad schmoozing with oil barons and oligarchs:

Were your flights commercial or private, and who paid?

Did members of your family go with you?

Why are you taking vacations while park employees, firefighters, and rangers go unpaid?

Thanks to Trump & Burgum’s fail-by-design scheme, Americans are losing public access, park entrance fees are going uncollected, & history is getting censored. Congressional Republicans refuse to conduct oversight, and now, our community parks are being affected. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The East Wing illegally vanished overnight, without a thought for the Organic Act, history, or the American public. Under Trump and Burgum, our national parks and public lands could be next in line, with golf courses in Joshua Tree or Trump’s face on Mt. Rushmore. www.eenews.net/articles/cou...
Could Mount Rushmore include Trump? Doug Burgum thinks so.

Trump’s tearing down the East Wing illegally—and it’s not just about the White House. It’s a preview of what’s coming for our national parks. Lawless destruction. No oversight. Total impunity. #SaveOurParks

The Trump admin is using the shutdown as cover to gut the Park Service—cutting staff, silencing rangers, and paving the way for privatization.

Our parks aren’t for sale.

They belong to all of us. #SaveOurParks

History belongs to the people — not the politicians.

Trump’s administration is censoring park signs about slavery, Indigenous history, and civil rights.

So volunteers are racing to photograph them before they’re gone.

That’s patriotism. #SaveOurParks

The warning came true. Trump’s shutdown has left Yosemite in chaos — illegal camping, vandalism, and fires.

When you furlough rangers, you don’t “keep parks open.” You abandon them.

National parks are being trashed — literally — because Donald Trump and Sec. Doug Burgum can’t keep the government running.

Half of park staff are furloughed. No cleanup crews. No safety patrols.

Public lands deserve stewardship, not shutdowns.

The impacts from the government shutdown could have longterm impacts on the way public lands are managed, according to experts.

🚨 New court filing: Doug Burgum's Interior Department plans to fire at least 2,000 federal employees, including hundreds from the National Park Service.

That means fewer people protecting Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Acadia, and the Smokies—during a shutdown.

Gates of the Arctic is supposed to be wild — no roads, no mines, no politics.

Donald Trump and Doug Burgum just approved an industrial corridor through the heart of it.
