From the Atlanta Daily World:
By Hodari Brown, Contributing Columnist On November 25, 2025, the National Park Service (NPS), under the direction of the U.S. Department of the Interior overseen by Donald Trump, announced its 2026 “fee-free” days. Gone from the list: Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth. Added instead: June 14 — the birthday of Donald Trump, which […]The post COMMUNITY VOICES: Trump Removes MLK Day & Juneteenth as Free National Park Dates, Adds His Birthday appeared first on Atlanta Daily World.

If only Harris had done more for the working class.
Or if the senile old fuck had not tried to cling to power. Given the Dems a chance to have a real campaign with someone who knows what day of the week it is.
Or if they didn’t tank Bernie’s run because it was Hillary’s turn to be president.
Gaza turned out a lot better because Trump too.
Yeah, I’m sure they noticed a difference. /s
Well there was a ceasefire /s
Since were on lemmy, i genuinely cant tell if this is a joke or not.
It’s not a joke. A platform that centered the proletariat might have made a difference
I spent more than two years volunteering in the National Park system. Swore in thousands of Junior Rangers. Stood in gypsum dunes, Civil War battlefields, and a lot of places where kids looked at the world with the kind of hope adults forget they once had.So hearing that MLK Day and Juneteenth were dropped from the fee-free calendar and replaced with Trump’s birthday just knocked the wind out of me.
MLK Day is a day of service. Juneteenth marks freedom. These days mean something.
Trump’s birthday does not.
I cannot imagine looking a kid in the eye after that oath and explaining why the end of slavery no longer counts but a politician’s birthday does. I will not volunteer under that. Not for one more hour.
The land will outlast whoever did this. The dunes will still glow white. The mountains will still hold their shape. But the values behind the Park Service only survive if we protect them.
If you want the longer version of why this hit me so hard, I wrote about it here: https://tover153.substack.com/p/when-the-parks-stop-belonging-to
Nobody outside the US gives a shit why it hit you hard- we want to know what you are DOING about it
white canadians and a severe lack of any empathy, name a better duo
We created President’s Day just so we wouldn’t have to deal with this sort of thing.
What a self-preening bitch
There’s a video going around today with a reporter following Trump down some hallways as he’s talking about blue slips, and in this 21 second video we can see at least 8 pictures of him lining the walls. Dude just cannot get over himself
But he’s not racist.
In an alternate timeline July 13th is a national holiday.
At this rate, I’m surprised J6 isn’t
Republicans: That there is some of our finest work! Those folk don’t need no damn national holiday, but Dozing Donnie does! 😤

Exactly. The irony is so thick you’d need a buzzsaw to cut it.
Gross. No one wants to celebrate the day your mom shat you out. They didn’t want to celebrate that, why the fook would we? Loser.
Oh, God… I don’t know if laughing or crying 😅
this guy is ready for other pills, not his blues pre-bed
Gross, TIL I share my birthday month with him
Hey, it could be worse… you could also share a birthday day, month and suit with the man! shudders
So…when do Americans stand up, again? I’m convinced Americans never learned to get off their hands and knees.
Aww, the tragic little orange paedo just wants to be adored. What a little puddy poo.
Do you think he knows that history, and the internet, will not be kind to him and his legacy when he -hopefully very soon- dies?When did we start civilly disobeying our government because it doesn’t represent the interests of the people?
All government officials care about is making rich people richer.
Jan 20th, why.
surprised it took him so long. in his first term. sacking a bunch of park rangers was the first thing he did
US-Americans are so crazy, I can’t tell if this is real or not
