What is Trump focused on?
Tearing down a section of the White House to make way for a billionaire-funded ballroom.

I can't get over a media that spent years telling us teenagers deserved to die for actions that weren't even crimes telling us which Presidential crimes don't even deserve a slap on the wrist.

Autocrats want you to feel like pushing back is hopeless. It’s not! Trump is a paper tiger. Most Americans don’t want this authoritarian takeover.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

The social media culture of “dunking” has arguably done a lot of damage in terms of accelerating the spread of extremist rhetoric in the name of supposedly opposing it.
It’s far more helpful to quote-post what we support than what we oppose.
Quote-posting SIGNAL BOOSTS and spreads quoted content.

German far right setting agenda as opponents amplify its ideas, study finds
Normalisation of far-right stances likely to affect success of such parties at ballot boxes across Europe, say researchers
NEW RESEARCH confirms:
Countering far-right messaging by repeating it mainstreams extremist ideas and amplifying extremist terminology cedes the framing of the issues to the right.
(I’ll add that social media “dunking” only serves to spread undesired content.)

I implore you, do not engage with any of the government accounts (or their troll entourage) that have shown up over the past few days. Don't dunk or quote or reply. Just block them.
They are baiting people. Engaging with them is *what they want.* Do not give them what they want.

Fun fact: "slop" comes from the Old English -sloppe, for dung. Cowshit was cusloppe.
It meant shit centuries before it meant "rotten food waste"
Considering how genAI steals all of human output to digest and then shit it out, the original definition fits better than the modern one.

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

If the news media doesn't make a big deal out of the dumbass posting an AI video where he takes shit on Americans, they can take their future scoldings about how we're supposed to meet these people halfway and shove them up their asses.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”
🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Folks are asking what to do about the One Special Boy's AI vids and whether they should share them:
MOCK THEM WITHOUT SHARING.
This creates what an enthymeme, where readers have to SUPPLY PART OF THE REFERENT to understand what you are mocking. An enthymeme is the STRONGEST form of persuasion.

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.
