Because asbestos turns into a fine powder when broken. So if you hit it with what amounts to a wrecking ball, it throws a bunch of powder into the air. That people breathe in. And it's harmful.
So I'm gonna go out on a limb here. It wasn't asbestos. It was ass hats.

So I just saw the dumbest claim. That the East Wing got torn down because of asbestos.
Clearly none of these people has ever seen asbestos demolition before. They would have had to put up a tent and the demo would STILL be happening. You do it pretty much by hand.
Why, you ask?

That streetlight? Could have a camera.
That squadcar? Could be hijacking your cell signal.
EFF is working to kick surveillance out of our communities. We just need your help: takebackctrl.org/stop-survei...

I made butternut squash and sweet potato soup. It was delicious. But the squash was tiny! It was about the size of a large zucchini.

The moron is talking about how if we're at war there won't be elections. He probably wants to invade Venezuela or some shit. Because that's a great idea.

Destruction of public property of massive historical significance without input from the stakeholders, i.e., the American people, is stupid, illegal, and shows that he believes himself more important than anything else.

Stop giving the orange twatwaffle more power than he already does.
Your panic helps nobody.
Call your members of Congress. Tell the Republican ones to do their job. Prepare the groundwork to stop him.

What he wants is to build a ballroom LARGER THAN THE WHOLE WHITE HOUSE, because he's more important than the entire rest of the country.
All this shit is about filling that gaping maw of a hole inside him because he knows that at least a few hundred billion people think he's a twat with bad hair.

Okay @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. It took you goddamned long enough to endorse Mamdani.
Now where's our awareness campaign for local and state elections?
The R operatives and political apparatus has been hyping local races for DECADES. Get on the ball, man.

Hey you. YES, YOU.
This is your reminder that on November 15th, there's an election/voting day.
What's on the ballot? A bunch of local and state elections, ballot measures, and important stuff that affects your community. This isn't that national "it doesn't affect me" stuff. This stuff matters.
