The White House is not private property. It does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the people.
I’m introducing legislation to protect the building’s historic character against the president’s bulldozer and Marie Antoinette ballroom.

I’ve been guilty of this too, but when I read people say, even though they’re trying to be nice, like “I disagree with Rob Reiner politically, but I am sad by his loss.”
Why do we always feel the need to talk about whether we agreed with somebody politically or not?

🌹 In honor of Rob Reiner, who's most important work was standing against an inadequate, little man who lives in a constant state of jealousy, as he lowers the bar of humanity into the dirt, so that even he can occasionally clear it.
📌Reiner brought us a lifetime of joy, Trump only endless distress.

You can’t expect a criminal who has no respect for women, the disabled, people of color, our troops, victims of 9/11, LGBTQ+ people, humanity or even his own demon spawn to show respect after someone is brutally murdered. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this or sat out.

Kaja Kallas: we have to be really clear-eyed. We have one aggressor and one victim. And the one that needs security guarantees is Ukraine, not Russia.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
