The most reliable way to commit acts of violence and convince people to take it is to pose as a Trump WH directed public servant

these guys will NEVER convince me this man ✨doesn’t✨ have dementia

predictably, the GOP-controlled Congress is totally fine with Trump ordering the government to personally pay him hundreds of millions of dollars and are defending it by suggesting that he might consider donating some of it to charity. Possibly.

a live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

White House begins demolition of part of East Wing for Trump's ballroom President Trump previously said his ballroom addition to the White House wouldn't "interfere" with the building's existing structure.

Happy I-Fuckin-Warned-You-About-Project-2025-And-You Called-Me-Crazy Day to those who celebrate

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"

A lot of people need to expunge the word "distraction" from their political vocabularies.

I genuinely thought this was common knowledge 😭😭😭

Agreed. This ought to be examined immediately.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism.

ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees.

One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help.

He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

The United States is simply not politically stable enough, nor sufficiently committed to democratic and international principles, to host the UN.
