When you tear down an historic building, you take out the historic parts of it, the doors and wood walls, windows, trim, molding, etc., before you wreck it. No such concerns from Trump. Here's the inside of the East Wing before the bulldozer arrived:

Thank you for your honesty, in this as in all things. I wake up every day into grief that feels bottomless. Your work and commitment and chickens make a difference. I am grateful.

So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations?

On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday.

But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵

Trump has ordered criminal investigations into more than 50 federal employees so far, including former intelligence officials, political rivals, and even members of his own administration. He has declared some “guilty of treason,”

Trump is trying to hand billionaires another tax cut — while climate disasters get deadlier and the rest of us foot the bill. The ones who should be paying? Big Oil companies like @exxonmobiloil.bsky.social that caused the climate crisis.

This Tax Day, we’ve got one thing to say: Pay up, Exxon 🧾

It's interesting that @CNN.com, the alleged "Most Trusted Name in News", doesn't appear to mention that AOC and Bernie had 32,000 at a Denver rally, and many thousands elsewhere. I just check CNN these days to see what they don't report on. It's a lot. I can't trust them at all.
