Manufactured outrage about the “other” has replaced outrage aimed towards someone who is attempting to annihilate a country’s highest ideals. Is one’s life meaningful, if not lived by the highest ideals?

He did everything he possibly could to overturn the election & stay in power - threatening his VP, Govs & Secs of States, organizing a mob to storm the Capitol. He knew if he ordered a military coup they would’ve refused & he would’ve been tried for treason. That’s why he left.

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Trump: "As you know, they found $31 billion. They came to see me, 'Sir, we found $31b.' They said, 'We don't know why.' I said, 'Was this a good find or a bad find?' It was a good find. It was a plus 31. We're used to finding negative 31s for the last 30 years. I said, 'Check the tariff shelf'"

When he first got into the WH, I would say, as an image of his disregard for anything: he will take a dump on the top of the resolute desk and argue there’s nothing written against it. This is far beyond.

Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market.

Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army.

Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

Trump tearing down the People’s House to build a ballroom for his rich donors…just about sums it all up, doesn’t it?

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

I don't think we should let it go that the president posted a video of himself shitting diarrhea on us. It should be on his wikipedia page

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

IDK about you, but I'm pretty sure a US President who shares a video of himself as a KING literally shitting on his own citizens isn't fit for office.😢💩💩💩👑
