The Resistance Has Gray Hair | Common Dreams Seniors are mobilizing because our lives and the benefits we worked a lifetime to earn are under threat, and we refuse to sit by and watch.

Older Americans are coming out in droves to stand up for democracy, and it's a sign of what's to come in the midterms and beyond. Richard Fiesta breaks down why seniors are fighting back for @commondreams.org.

I’m so tired that I bumped into a lamp, and said “I’m sorry” to the lamp

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

😕

Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.

Every last person responsible should be prosecuted.

Goodness. It's vomit-inducing from any angle.

What does he know about taste or SCALE:

Trump’s a 4th rate “developer” with ticky-tacky, cheap taste.

The white House is 55,000 sq ft the tacky ugly gold cheap gilded ballroom is 90.,000 sq ft this man is so low class it breaks my heart everyday he is president. I am an angry old lady

I think it is evident that the cost of the build is likely much less than $200m as that grifter will be using the cheapest construction methods and will probably stiff them anyway - so those "donations" will be going straight to his pocket along with his $230m DOJ settlement. Call it $0.5bn

The White House WAS a building in the 19th century palladian style. It’s typical symmetry is gone. Just imagine the Queen doing the same to Buckingham palace…. This is sheer cultural barbarism committed by a baboon.

B-b-b-b-but I thought he said he was paying for it all himself! You mean he..... *gasp* ... lied?

The Six Grandfathers Before It Was Known as Mount Rushmore Mount Rushmore [Six Grandfathers Mountain] is known as a shrine to democracy. However, the other side of its story demonstrates the lack of understanding and respect shown to the Native people who inh...

It’s the Six Grandfathers. A sacred mountain that was stolen and defaced

It’s gone. It’s entirely gone. All of that history, all of the pathos, all of the drama, all of the beauty, all of the heritage is gone. And he’s not done. He will do much much much more damage to this nation before he’s gone.

It may sound funny but: he’s intending to put his image on Mt Rushmore.

I can’t bear to drive past there. Just evil.

All that wood work, flooring lighting could have been preserved & reused. I hate this man more every single day that goes by.

What we lost .. Did they even save the paintings?

My hometown bleeds.

He said that we don't have to vote again during the campaign!

Yeah, I agree. I’m in New Zealand and this makes me absolutely indignant.

I 100% believe that Trump has no intention of having free & fair elections ever again.

I’m not even American and this upsets me. What an asshole!

Nothing & no one is safe under the madman.

The speed with which this happened shows he always intended to tear down the entire East Wing. All the assurances to the contrary were simply more lies.

All that history, gone in a few days.

You know that grifting a-hole is going to sell off the rubble as souvenirs to his cult.

Like what more proof do you need that Republicans are against America than destroying American history with bulldozers
