QuoteNational Park Service Banned From Tweeting After Anti-Trump Retweets

The National Park service retweeted some sick Donald Trump burns, noting how, uh, lightly attended his inauguration was compared to Barack Obama's in 2009. But now, the NPS has been ordered by its Washington support office to "immediately cease use of government Twitter accounts until further notice," according to an internal email obtained by Gizmodo.

The NPS later removed the retweets, but one NPS account has already noted it will cease tweeting.
(...)
One Park Ranger tells Gizmodo "Unofficial word on the employee facebook page is that it was because of those two [retweets] (which might have been an accident)."

Apparently it includes even messages from crisis communications plans.  :huh:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The official White House position on terrorism will be that they're too scared of Trump to do anything, and any reports to the contrary will be ignored or buried.

Just encountered an anti-Trump demo from the American ex-pat community in Barcelona. It was several hundred strong, which I thought was impressive given that is a very small community.

The middle class bomb shelters always had record players.  The man needed to listen to the music while the wife cooked up the dinner.

NPS twitter is back up. this kinda thing is probably going to become fairly common -- big knee-jerk reaction, wait a few hours / days, then things return to normal or semi-normal

Yeah, our former fascist regime also had the "there's no Spaniards outside of Spain" attitude.

It was a significant turnout given the size of the American community in Barcelona.

Apparently the gathering in Vienna had a turnout of ca. 2500 (according to police) in below freezing temperatures.
