## Resource

A former Yosemite ranger, Dr. Shannon Joslin, was fired for displaying a transgender pride flag on El Capitan off-duty — and now their lawsuit claiming First Amendment rights was tossed out by a federal judge. The court ruled it lacks jurisdiction to rule on constitutional or criminal matters, redirecting Joslin to the Office of Special Counsel. The case, tied to broader federal crackdowns on diversity initiatives under Trump, also involves an ongoing criminal investigation — leaving Joslin’s legal fight on hold as the focus shifts to administrative channels.
