Trump wants to shut it down & demolish it anyway

So we amended our lawsuit & sought emergency court relief to stop the destruction of national cultural institution

Imagine r*ping 13-year-old girls on private islands and killing +153 schoolgirls in Iran, and still talking about "freedom for Iranian women." The audacity.

They kidnapped Maduro and assassinated Khamenei before they arrested a single Epstein pedophile….

And of course, Big Bad Jack. He was 4 weeks when I found him. He's at 17 pounds now 🫠

Happy Caturday. Here's my newest rescues, Wallie and Martha. Sisters who are deeply bonded.

Sry, been away. My mom taught there in the 60s n 70s.i lived in Hazelwood, north Baltimore. I'm in Texas since 75.

I couldn't agree more!

The investor class is in their own little bubble and it's called the Dow. 🙄

🤔 Funny that

Another connection is that I was raised mostly in Baltimore. When mom came out to her family in 1958, it was decided that she should let relatives take us 3 kids. By 1962, she'd landed an associate professor position at UMBC. We moved there at the start of 2nd grade. Really glad to know you.

Define irony

We have new life at my little rescue, Sandbar Ranch. Momma Lulabell with her brand new twins. 🫠

Perfect. Old hippie here, grown kids, a deep loathing of DJT n the advent of Rumpism. Testosterone is a poisonous drug in their cult, bc apparently, it makes troglodytes join ICE, murder innocents, applaud it, and sukk their own dikz.Fukk crypto, nude pics, and the right wing prikkks who prey on us

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

One of my top 5 FAVORITE SONGS!!!

Boudica (died c. 60–61 CE) was the fearless queen of the Iceni tribe in ancient Britain who led a major uprising against Roman occupation. After the death of her husband, King Prasutagus, Roman authorities brutally seized Iceni lands, flogged Boudica, and abused her daughters, sparking her fierce rebellion. Uniting several tribes, Boudica commanded a powerful force that destroyed Roman settlements including Camulodunum (Colchester), Londinium (London), and Verulamium (St. Albans). Though ultimately defeated by Roman legions, her revolt significantly challenged Roman control and became a lasting symbol of resistance.

I worked in a very small barber shop, and my fellow barbers would blow smoke in my face, offer me cigs.....anything to see me fail. It was an eye opener insofar as human behavior.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂

Congratulations. I quit on Aug 16th, 1977. Consequently, it was also the same day that Elvis died, and the day after my 22nd birthday. I had dreams about smoking as recently as 10 years ago. The level of addiction is unbelievable. I'm proud to know you.

Beautiful sentiment. My goal for 2026 is to practice this more.

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

As Homeland Security’s siege on Minneapolis enters its third week, locals are volunteering for patrol shifts, protesting in the streets, and keeping one another up to date in group texts.

Just reminding y'all

Rump's play for Greenland is about money and nothing else. Oligarchs are investing heavily in rare earth mining for AI. It's all in his terrible plan to rule the western hemisphere.

Trump says anything less than U.S. control of Greenland is ‘unacceptable’ ahead of crunch talks The high-stakes meeting comes shortly after Greenland and Denmark's leaders portrayed a united front against Trump's takeover threats.

“Greenland and Denmark’s foreign ministers are set to hold talks with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday.

The high-stakes meeting comes amid President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to seize control of Greenland…” www.cnbc.com/2026/01/14/g...

“If you launch something and it's mostly an extractive venture, then what you've effectively done is you've collapsed crypto from a public perception, to crypto equals Trump equals bad, you know, amongst the left,” he said. “You can't alienate half the country and then expect them to show up.”

He said that his invitations to White House events were extended and withdrawn without explanation during the early days of the administration. Additionally, when ADA, Cardano’s token, was named part of the administration’s crypto reserve, he stated that he and his team weren't contacted at all. "When the president said ADA is in the reserve, XRP is in the reserve, and Solana is in the reserve, and I was just like, okay, well sh*t, I'm just gonna get subpoenaed now when the Democrats get back in power, and they're going to think I had something to do with it. We had nothing to do with it. We never discussed it with them."

“There's no accountability. There's no respect for the rule of law, and there's no respect for the balance of power,” he said. The lack of leadership, Hoskinson argued, has left the crypto industry politically weaponized and without a path forward. “Crypto equals corruption. It's a wealth transfer mechanism for Trump and his friends. And that didn’t help any of us.”

Hoskinson: "You've collapsed crypto from a public perception, to crypto equals Trump equals bad .... Crypto equals corruption. It's a wealth transfer mechanism for Trump and his friends."
