Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.

YouTube video by Robert Reich How YOU Can Fight Back Against Trump

Millions have hit the streets to protest Trump’s authoritarianism — but marching isn’t enough on its own.

Here are five steps you can take to make a difference.

Lather/rinse/repeat:

-- Trump/MAGA sow fear with manufactured crisis to justify power grab

A few years back, Edgar Wright gave me a walking tour of Soho, showing me everything, sharing stories. One stop was the Toucan Bar on Carlisle street. The bar had put up a plaque quoting Stamp from his time shooting there.

It reads: "These stairs aren't good enough to be in a movie - Terence Stamp"

Godspeed

Holy shit, SPOT ON

People often dislike when art isn't fun and/or comforting.

If I were Newsom, I would take this one step further and say that the Democrats are the underdogs facing two opponents: Republicans who have no standards and a press corps that insists against all contrary evidence that they do.

A party at war with its own relevance

I still don’t understand why so many are relying on this tragically fallible monstrosity

This is the perfect game

This should be in the Olympics

LOL I haven’t the faintest idea. I’m adopted

Gosh, I wonder who picks fresh vegetables.

Didn’t NYC just completely let the Hudson Yards developers off the hook for failing to build affordable units?
