I certainly would not carry it or keep it in my car. Aside from everything else: THIS is one of the very good reasons for the _‘no living people depicted on our currency’_ (or other official media we must carry around, such as a National Parks pass). It’s just anti-American to force us to carry about graven images of some living person. It’s idolatry. Of course the Cult _ **loves** _ that it’s idolatry. They’d pay extra to be able to practice it. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > Aside from everything else: THIS is one of the very good reasons for the _‘no living people depicted on our currency’_ (or other official media we must carry around, such as a National Parks pass). It’s way worse than that. He want’s to destroy national parks and give them over to the petroleum industry. I’m sure he has never set foot in a national park or ever been in nature. Nature abhors a vacuum. So do the rest of us. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > It’s way worse than that. He want’s to destroy national parks and give them over to the petroleum industry. I’m sure he has never set foot in a national park or ever been in nature. Extractive industries in general - mining, logging as well as oil drilling. But also they’d like to sell off some of the primo spots in national parks for high-end resorts for the rich - something high-priced and exclusive enough to keep away the hoi polloi. Keep an eye on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park for the next year or so - if you starting hearing noise from the government about the expense of repairing the lodge and infrastructure up there, you’ll know the fix is in. ---

The Trump administration continues to abuse Franklin the Turtle > Last month, Defense Secretary [Pete Hegseth](https://www.huffpost.com/topic/pete-hegseth) posted an apparently AI-generated cover of a book titled [“Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists”](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-hegseth-franklin-turtle_n_692d3edde4b0c8c3c7ce2eb3) on social media. The cover featured Franklin in a helicopter and apparently firing missiles at drug boats, making light of the administration’s boat strike scandal. > > “For your Christmas wish list,” Hegseth wrote alongside the image. new stuff: > The DOJ post included an illustrated cover of a fake book titled “Franklin Becomes A Deportation Judge” that showed the fictional turtle wearing a white wig and a judge’s robe and holding a gavel in his hand. > Other departments under President Donald Trump have continued to appropriate the character to advance the administration’s agenda. The Department of Education [used Franklin](https://x.com/usedgov/status/1998037365747790276) to claim that the department “doesn’t do any educating.” The Department of Health and Human Services [shared a faux cover](https://x.com/HHSGov/status/1997728182993305736/photo/1) featuring the turtle avoiding “ultra-processed foods” in an effort to “Make America Healthy Again.” This is pointless bullying behavior from the government of the United States. > **[Trump Administration Doubles Down On Cruel 'Franklin' Posts Despite Publisher...](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-administration-doubles-down-franklin-the-turtle-memes_n_693b9d60e4b07bcd2541cdc3?origin=home-whats-happening-unit)** > > The Department of Justice used the beloved children's book character in another twisted meme. ---

There’s got to be a point where _parody is protected speech_ gives way to _hurting our brand is tortious behavior_, doesn’t there? I’d love for some IP lawyers to weigh in. ---
