I will repost this forever.

Exclusive | Treasury Tells Employees Not to Share Photos of White House Ballroom Construction Images of the demolition of parts of the East Wing went viral on Monday, and Treasury’s headquarters next door to the White House has a front-row seat.

The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

I'm so sorry.

The President is disgusting and a disgrace.

And he’s clearly rattled by yesterday’s turnout.

Keep speaking out. The power belongs to the people.

Someone said a thing to do about this is just call it out as horrible. Reinforce that beliefs like these are reprehensible.

So I'm going to chime in and say if you once believed in sensible GOP policies, you have seen this shit, and you still want to vote with the right...fuck alllll the way off.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

People think I'm being hyperbolic when I say "Yeah the GOP is just pro-slavery at this point."

If their actual farm labor policy wasn't enough, there's always this.

Dude. Read the room.

I know the temptation is to just scroll past this with a “not surprised” reaction, but you should read this if you have the emotional bandwidth to encounter horrifying slurs and violent sentiments, because there’s an important takeaway: extremism is often performed to reinforce an in-group’s bond.

I love you even more for knowing this OG meme format.

Good on ya! I have been thinking more about it since my vacation in Norway in September but of course, time keeps getting away from me.

I'm out of the loop. Did you escape? Or are planning to emigrate? Congrats in any case!

Extremely. Extreeeeemely.

#uspoli important context. We’re all learning so much about our country at least. Heh.

Chaotic Good response right here.

AI developers have long made it clear that their entire focus is on supporting "use cases" (arbitrary tasks they wish you'd do) and they spare no attention on abuse cases or misuse cases.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There. A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

Loyalty test.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

5 companies now control 90% of the 🇺🇸 media market. Not great!

And they have all either caved to Trump, or are owned or may soon be owned by his allies.

(Per @moreperfectunion.bsky.social — A 1996 bill signed by Clinton set us on this path 😕)

another case of people reading a headline and either not reading or misreading an article. the actual reporting does not say anything like "all trans people are being classified as terrorists"

i understand why people are scared. i also feel like reading comprehension is at an all time low

I also love how it touches on guilt, regret, and loss with the added pang of not being able to help someone before the opportunity is gone forever. Loving someone despite their flaws and trying to appreciate the beauty they brought to the world, while not being mired in grief at its lack.

Just name my two favorite movies of all time why don't you 🥰

Robert Redford, Screen Idol Turned Director and Activist, Dies at 89
