Dems need to be tweeting "I know everyone in Portland is going to peacefully and patriotically head down to the ICE facility. We need to fight like hell against these radical fascist ICE agents or else we're not going to have a country anymore."

In the end, the thing that most wrecks me isn't that the Trump Regime is doing evil things like cutting support for special education. That's expected.

What really hurts is learning that millions of Americans will see shit like that and immediately start explaining why it's based and awesome.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I would be deeply uncomfortable with said pothole being repaired without a detailed environmental review taking place beforehand.

Let's use our core competencies here.

America one year ago was a safer, kinder, had a better economy and was more of a respected world leader than it is today.

Nothing that Trump is doing is making America great.

He's burning the Constitutional order for fucking nothing.

Another room full of (mostly) older attendees for a public meeting about the Family Zoning Plan

If Dolly dies, there goes the Republic.

Republicans will oppose any redistributive policy if they believe it might help a single illegal immigrant.

Democrats will support any redistributive policy, even if it mostly helps red states.

And honestly, that's on us.

Kristi Noem has posted a Michael Bayesque video of that crazy Border Patrol raid of an apartment building in Chicago. Her caption was "Chicago, we’re here for you."

I don't get it either. I'm a Swiftie who definitely places folkmore as her best work, but I have no idea why people are so pressed about TLOAS. It's extremely consistent with Midnights, Rep & Lover.

My (very white + wealthy + blue) town has been planning a 100-unit affordable housing project for 3yrs, and we're weeks away from applying for LIHTC.

Except they just announced that a NIMBY appealed it under the State Environmental Policy Act, so we won't make the deadline.

I'm fucking furious.
