Trump CHANGES Rule Then ARRESTS Park Ranger For Free Speech - Really American

Really American Hosts Steve Harness Breaks Down Trump sparking OUTRAGE by retroactively changing his own executive order to fire a Park Ranger for hanging a trans pride flag on El Capitan at Yosemite National Park. What a disgraceful attack on free speech and a vulnerable minority community! Can you imagine if they did this to someone who hung a MAGA flag?!

35-year-old Dr. Shannon Joslin, a nonbinary biologist, says she was fired from her “dream job” at Yosemite after climbing El Capitan with six others and hanging a massive 55-by-35-foot transgender pride flag.

Joslin argues the act was done off-duty, in her free time, and was meant as a personal expression of identity:

“Last week, I was fired from my dream job as a permanent park ranger with the NPS for practicing my First Amendment right. In May, I hung a trans flag on El Capitan that celebrated my acceptance of my identity. I want my rights, and I want my career back.”

Yosemite’s acting deputy superintendent, Danika Globokar, defended the decision, stating Joslin had “failed to demonstrate acceptable conduct” by displaying the flag. - 08/25/2025.
