#PlumbingTheParadoxes No. 140: Only this superlative-abusing administration would toss around phrases like "most complex and secretive military operation in history" about an illegal act of war during the month of D-Day.

After we lost our Rowlett home in a tornado ~10 yrs ago, our Fort Worth-based homebuilder had the foundation poured by locals, then hired a crew of white guys from La, who showed up without proper equipment, took a 4hr lunch break, and stuck a few sticks to the foundation that wouldn't stand up.🧵1/3

#PlumbingTheParadoxes No. 139: Packed SCOTUS for me but not for thee. (I know, out of order as I still haven't shared PTP 136 & 137 to bsky, but this whole court is out of order!)

#PlumbingTheParadoxes No. 127: The utter hypocrisy of defrauding democracy, misrepresenting one's own medical records, and defunding cancer research while decrying a lack of transparency about a private citizen's health condition is monstrous. 1/2

#PlumbingTheParadoxes No. 121: The decision-making is all done by non-experts & I think is aimed at proliferating what Foucault called "docile bodies" rather than allowing autonomy for any who then can resist, stand strong, and break the moldy hold of those who grasp for ever greater personal power.

#PlumbingTheParadoxes No. 120: This one is yesterday's, but I could not bring myself to post about the Gulf of MEXICO's renaming by the US on Battle of Puebla day. The use of "symbolic" hides the fact that names impact national & even continental thinking. See: jerk at the WH during Carney's visit.

#PlumbingTheParadoxes No. 119: Please, people, push back! No normalizing. (More El Mundo & Evening Standard, less Le Parisien.) I'm all for holy humor, but this ain't it.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

#PlumbingTheParadoxes No. 117: This one was intended to be yesterday's, but Ground News analysis was slower in coming out than I expected. Yet another reminder that it's not about the guns or mental health & prevention for these people, just the money. 🧵1/2

#PlumbingTheParadoxes No. 116: (A day late, because my doggo needed surgical aftercare - see 🧵) Ironically also a campaign with dire warnings and speaking to people's (legit) fears.

#PlumbingTheParadoxes No. 113: we want to stop child trafficking and abuse but not invest in the nationwide programs of volunteers (like my fellow re-sister anonymously quoted in image) who safeguard victims. Got it. Link to a script to call your reps & Reuters article in thread. 🧵1/3
