Joyeuse Noëlle!

Okay, on birdsite NPR tweeted (in fun-sized segments) the Declaration of Independence.

Alt-righters FLIPPED THEIR SHIT.

It is the FUNNIEST GODDAMN THING. https://mastodon.social/media/xqS81fow6n28C-VaqTg https://mastodon.social/media/k1vEaoISCxrtVEyf0rE

@noelle OMG. This terrifies me actually, when the Declaration of Independence becomes "propaganda"

@noelle same people just a year ago: "Depose King Obama! Water the tree of liberty with his blood!"

@noelle Apparently NPR has been doing this for years, on the 4th they have been broadcasting readings of the declaration for 29 years, I heard.

@noelle I agree that the ones flipping out politically are hilarious and also a little scary tbh, but…

You didn't post them 😊, but there are also several screenies circulating of people who could have easily just not liked the format.

One saying "Please stop. This is not the right place" could be talking about the format. Another is complaining specifically about having NPR alerts on and getting *a ton* with this.

I think it's good if we check and think criticially before sharing and shaming.
