White House posting dumb shit on Facebook

This is an actual official White House post over on Facebook.

A copy of this goes into the National Archives.

I remember when the leadership of this country wasn't a fucking travesty.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

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:

Remember when it was a national scandal on the right that the White House pushed to take down a few tweets?

From this month's edition of The Onion.

Project 2025 literally stated this and queer people were told that we were being hysterical. They want to make the existence of queer people illegal - not just your employment, or who you love, or how you dress - your very existence in the world.

Have just realized that the silly “Bezos wants to buy Vogue as a lavish wedding gift for his bride” story that’s been circulating is inaccurate - Bezos wants to buy Condé Nast which owns The New Yorker,Teen Vogue, Wired & Arts Technica because he is an oligarch who wants to crush all dissent.

I dont think it’s premature or fear-mongery to say this but:

Heed the warnings of black and/or queer educators and academics who are savvy to what goes on around them and in the field because those are the ones they’ll be going after first.

Last night, House Republicans on the Rules Committee blocked a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Do not expect to see coverage of this on Fox News.

Literal cages — in sweltering, 100 degree temperatures. 🥵

Ron DeSantis should be brought up on criminal charges.

Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?

As a Brown man who grew up with a family who all eat like this, I can't tell you how deeply this hurts and genuinely cuts. The racism is unbelievable. I eat like this and am proud to do so but it doesn't stop how painful the shock is that someone views you this way.

Karoline Leavitt indicates the administration is open to a denaturalization-oriented investigation against Zohran Mamdani

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

What to watch for during the Supreme Court’s historic birthright citizenship arguments | CNN Politics The Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday about President Donald Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship and significantly limit the power of federal courts to slow his agenda – a case that ha...

What to watch for during the Supreme Court’s historic birthright citizenship arguments????

FUCK OFF @CNN!!!!

What we're WATCHING is the USA devolving into 1930s Germany before our ideas, and nobody is calling it out.

Ending birthright citizenship will mark the beginning of American Nazism!!!

764,000 have lost money on Trump meme coin The president is promoting the coin as a chance to dine with him and tour the White House.

How best to describe a POTUS-endorsed investment opportunity where 58 people make money while 764,000 get taken to the cleaners?

The Israeli military’s former chief of staff has accused his successor of “sending soldiers to commit war crimes” in Gaza and torn into Israel’s government for “losing touch with Jewish morality”. In an interview with Israeli outlet Ynet on Thursday, Moshe Yaalon, who also served as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defence minister between 2013 and 2016, said Israel had abandoned the captives held by Hamas and was carrying out a campaign of “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza. Yaalon attacked the current military chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, saying he was not stopping “clearly illegal orders” and was ordering “his soldiers to be war criminals”. “Call it ethnic cleansing, call it transfer, call it deportation - it’s a war crime,” Yaalon said

Former Netanyahu defence minister says Israel is engaging in “war crimes” and “ethic cleansing” in Gaza.

So, I guess we should expect him to be blacklisted as an antisemite by Canary Mission and denied entry/detained by the US?
