ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

New York Times reports that it is unclear whether having a federal agency accept money in excess of congressional appropriations "violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations." I guess we'll never know!

NEW: DHS is asking companies to submit plans to turn standard 4x4 trucks into AI-powered watchtowers—combining radar, cameras, and autonomous tracking to extend surveillance on demand.

Bullshit. It’s more than a fucking building. It’s a historic landmark. It’s our house. It’s the people’s house. And he had no fucking authority to tear it down. None. And that matters. We don’t have palaces in America. If we Democrats can’t draw the line on that, then fuck us. We deserve to lose.
You're a conservative, please don't tell me what a Democrat needs to do

It's. A. Building.
I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.
Horrific
Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting.

They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

Steve Bannon has confirmed that there is a secret plot afoot to end our democracy and install Trump as a permanent dictator.

If this were untrue, he’d be getting a visit from the FBI, as what he’s describing is a criminal conspiracy.

He won’t get an FBI visit.

I'm sorry, why are the media giving cover to the president by saying that the escalation in the Caribbean vis-à-vis Venezuela is about drugs? It's clearly about the fact that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world and a regime change to privatize those benefits Trvmp and his donors.
lol/sob. The indispensable Drew Magary nails it as usual.

“He demo’ed the White House in broad daylight and will use that land, and a growing pot of corporate bribes, to erect the saddest goddamn ballroom your worst cousin will ever get married in.”
“Was Trump within his legal rights to perpetrate this act of desecration? Probably not, but honestly … what does it matter? When you elect Trump as president, as Americans have now done twice over, you’re voting FOR desecration.”

Remember the attack on the White House

Trump doesn’t have any “friends” except Epstein. Everyone else is a mark, a patron, or a bribe payer. So which one is it this time?

What happened to all the art, furniture and priceless historical treasures that were in the East Wing?

Did Trump just give it away to his buddies? Is it at Mar-a-Lago? Did Jared and Ivana just help themselves to it?

No one knows

It is hard to put into words how angry and sad this makes me feel. This asshole is destroying our nation and NONE of the cowards who are supposed to care about this are doing anything to stop him.
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

I mean the easier thing here is it also is shitty politics.

The "Trump spent 250m on a ballroom while you were struggling for groceries" is like the easiest attack line ever. And the response being "WELL ACKSHUALLY.."
"Tearing down the White House and replacing it with a facsimile of Mar-a-Lago isn’t any less appalling because Trump cajoled companies into paying for it. Indeed, it might be worse. Funding a pet project via the coercion of private donors creates a closed loop and complete lack of accountability."

This little graf illustrates how dark and bad the situation is at CBS News.

While panicking about this unelected newbie, Bari Weiss has, of course, devoted far, far less energy to covering the many documented connections between the GOP and Neo Nazism.

She is beyond a hack. She is a propagandist.

This is a piece being put out on a platform owned by Paramount and overseen by the top editor at CBS News, Bari Weiss. It was written (nepotistically) by her wife.

This extremist propaganda is effectively CBS News' editorial stance. It is an exaggerated caricature of American progressivism.
