I keep coming back to the words of civil rights leader Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth: “You can’t shame a rattlesnake.”

It doesn't matter if something is illegal if nobody is willing to enforce the law.

We’re at 7 million. We need to get to 12. And we need to stay there. And call a general strike at the same time.

It’s been a month since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social was elected by an overwhelming majority. Speaker Johnson still has yet to swear her in, leaving the people of #AZ07 without a voice in Congress. Enough is enough. Swear. Her. In.

I can't bring myself to hit that like button, because it brings such a sense of revulsion. That shit is insane. This is all insane. Why am I still grocery shopping tomorrow when this is happening? America too big sometimes. Too easy to isolate events to a state 1000 miles away.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

The ballroom addition/destruction of the White House is expressly illegal and would stand as independent grounds for impeachment and removal if we had a functioning government.
