This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

Not The Kings house. The Peoples House! Total disrespect.

"It won't interfere with the current building. It won't be. It'll be near it, but not touching it and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of. It's my favorite. It's my favorite place," Trump said

No image has ever spoken so succinctly about the current situation in the US.

The white house, a gaping wound in the east wing. It looks like a ruin or a mound of garbage

It always amazes me that politicians always disparage politics. You never hear doctors say that’s just medicine. You never hear teachers say that’s just teaching. You never hear plumbers say that’s just plumbing. Politicians are the only people to disparage their chosen profession.

This means so much. Before yesterday, I didn’t realize how much they cared. I felt abandoned.
These messages from outside give me more hope and the messages from yesterday around the country made me proud. The outpouring of support, love and encouragement touched my heart ♥️.
Thank you 🫂

We are watching America reassert itself and its values from the grassroots up. The world saw you and we have huge hope invested in you.

Trump ordered a show of force on Oct 18th, directing the military to fire rockets over a California highway to intimidate US civilians. A rocket malfunctioned & detonated, damaging JD Vance’s security detail. Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's decision to close the highway saved lives.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.
