this is a tacit admission that the administration is not confident in the legal arguments it would have to make in order to detain them, which should also cast into question the legality of the operation in the first place

No one has done this much damage to the White House since the British burned it in 1814. Trump is the enemy within.

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting.

I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him.

Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

Real and illegal. The White House in a National Landmark, which means you can't do shit like this.

But our fat, orange, fascist fuck wannabe dictator doesn't give a shit about the law.

He thinks it's his house. It's not. It's the people's house.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

I agree with Joe, what he builds is tacky and classless, he dissembles, destroys and makes a mockery of all we hold dear.

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 8h

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful & trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it & guided by the same principles & mission.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

I am literally fucking sick. This travesty of a President has literally, IS literally, destroying everything. Disgusting doesn’t even begin to describe it. Trump has taken apart every ounce of dignity, respect, history, and brick by brick foundation this country was built on and wanted to achieve

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.
