It’s THE WHITE HOUSE, it’s literally and metaphorically the most important building in the country and it’s all of ours and yes it was built by slaves and is inherently contradictory but it’s still OURS and not his and what the fuck are we still doing????!!!

Under whose authority can he just start ripping apart the White House? It’s not a personal residence, all projects are legally required to be approved by the National Capital Planning Commission, and as of August he hadn’t even submitted a review yet that normally takes *years* to approve.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Do you want more upbeat or more like, subdued? Choral or just instrumental?

The Birdcage (1996) is a favorite. Is the most watched movie on our Media Server. This was a pretty cool deeper dive into it.

The great thing about the Democratic Party is that there is absolutely room for both Spanberger and Mamdani

Joshua Erlich @joshuaerlich.bsky.social · 2d

election night is going to be about Spanberger and Mamdani, with both factions claiming proof of concept, and the discourse will be a nightmare

Reconstructionist @unavaleable.bsky.social · 2d

VA and NJ both being decisive, like a landslide in VA and a decisive win in NJ (ie a bit of an upset from the current vibes of maybe it'll be close) might be enough in and of themselves, but i think a lot of democrats are holding their breath and waiting to see where things fall
