Thursday thoughts from me, from soup to nuts. #hypocrisy

250 years later

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness all are swirling in a toilet bowl at Mar-a-Lago

Has the Administration said anything about this?

nmcomeau.bsky.social @nmcomeau.bsky.social · Apr 16

Every day an “adventure.”

I don’t do sh-t. How the hell am I so busy?

Let’s try to piece it together here, shall we?

I’ve shared pictures and snippets, but here’s the more complete summary of my #handsoff #50501 experience.

Baby’s first protest

And some "bonus" content at the very end 😂

I feel like when all the experts in all the fields regardless of party affiliation are sounding the alarm, people would pay attention. But no. Because the only freedom that is valued here now is the freedom to hate.

Trump just said that America soon will be the most economically dominant country in the world. The thing many people miss in this is that the country being rich doesn’t mean that the inhabitants of the country are. 🤦🏼‍♀️

How TF do you talk about the Underground Railroad and not talk about Harriet Tubman? Who but a White Supremacist would think this is ok???

Trump's National Park Service Brings Its Revisionist History to the Underground Railroad

The National Park Service edited a page on its website that describes the Underground Railroad to reduce the emphasis on Harriet Tubman.

As I revisit yesterday’s #handsoffboston #50501 protest by flipping through my pics, I’m thinking of the sentiment on the sign in the foreground, the MLK statue in the background, and his words “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Justice: under assault. Do the work.

Someone get those folks @bostonglobe.com an abacus. 30K? Did someone get tired of counting?

@facethenation.bsky.social should be required watching. #MargaretBrennan asks questions, people (try to) answer, we get to draw our own conclusions. That’s #democracy in action.

Tip of the iceberg.

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · Apr 5

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

On a day called #LiberationDay, why do I find myself reaching for a Pepto Bismol, Imodium, charcoal pill cocktail?

You’re under no obligation to afford shitty performances in a shitty production. And yes, you can walk out.

The animals are running the circus

And we don’t have to applaud the performers

I just got a drunk text that said “meet me at our spot.” Probs Pete Hegseth.

I think she’s right. No “war plans” war discussed. However, actual war plans, no quotes needed, were. 🤦🏼‍♀️

“Denmark has to have us have Greenland.” —🤡

That’s as politically sound of an explanation as you can get theses days.

Hypocrite much? (Yeah I’m using it as a verb now.)

Pete Hegseth: Nobody’s texting war plans.
Everyone who wasn’t on the group chat: 👀

Note to President Trump: This is a national security calamity, not a witch hunt.

Can the people who actually have the means to resist authoritarianism please resist? (Think Columbia University here, for one example.)
