Resistance to autocracy, oligarchy and kakistocracy is the highest form of patriotism. I’m not ready to abandon the US Constitution, which has served us so well for so long.

Did you have literal physical destruction of part of the White House on your second Trump administration bingo card? I didn’t 😡

Because he’s doing his job…reporting. Because we still live in a free country with a First Amendment and a free press.
And silence from all Republicans including George W. and Laura Bush😞

I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.
Well, he argued that sexually assaulting Jean Carroll was “an official act“, so I don’t think he would let that stop him
George W and Laura won’t say a darn thing. They’ve just been letting Trump do whatever he wants without comment.😡

The White House is demolishing the entirety of the historic East Wing to make way for Trump’s $200 million ballroom, a construction project that is far more extensive than he initially let on. "Near but not touching it," he originally said. @lukebroadwater.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Yes, but the Supreme Court ruled that Trump was immune from prosecution for any “official acts”😡
Thanks to the Supreme Court for ruling that presidents can do whatever they want with impunity😡
Thanks so much to SCOTUS who made this possible by giving Trump immunity for “official acts”😡
Can you imagine what Fox News would’ve said if Obama or Biden had torn down the east wing of the White House without historical or planning permission?

Hypocrites

American institutions don't crumble. But they can be destroyed.

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.
This is what I don’t get! Also, can you imagine if Obama or Biden had done this? Fox News would be calling for assassination.😡

Dozens of CITIZENS have been detained without access to a lawyer or loved ones, some have disappeared from their families entirely.

This is a clear assault on our rights.

If they can come for citizens and legal residents, they can come for anyone.

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history.
The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular!

So were the signs...
This!!

My parents took me to my first protest when I was like five years old. So not a big deal to me. But so many of my friends were afraid. I was so proud of them for coming out this weekend and seeing what it’s really like. Like you, they loved it and found their courage!😍
The pre-existing conditions clause saved my life. I have a potentially life-threatening, chronic illness, and I can’t afford the one year waiting period there was before the ACA.
I’m from MI and my rural relatives, some of whom are farmers, say they don’t care as long as Trump keeps deporting Hispanics.😞. As long as Republicans keep hating the “right” people, they will keep electing them🙄

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over
RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.
