I literally broke into rage tears when I read this morning that #trump declared Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth will no longer be free admission days for national parks and monuments. The replacement day is DaddyDiaperPants’s birthday instead.

I’m aware that profanity suggests a lack of vocabulary, but also I am a member of GenX, and thus:
Fucking fuck ALL of this fucking nonsense. Fuck him, fuck the regime, fuck them all sideways with their own executive orders.

Ahem.

I am old enough to remember segregation. My parents were in the crowd that heard MLK’s dream. I rode one of the first busses, when they finally rolled in the Deep South, decades after legislation demanded it. I remember being a student being given a ride home by a football player, and we both ended up with cop inflicted bruises, because they assumed a “white” girl was messing with a black boy.

We fought then, we fight now. Fuck compliance.

@MissConstrue I'll note that Hitler had also declared his own "Führer's Birthday" as a national holiday. 🙄
