All of our democratic alarm bells and flashing red lights should be going off right now.

Trump is acting like a dictator already.

We should not give up our nation & its democratic form of government so easily.

Fight Trump by all legal means available. Now it the time.

Sunny, a yellow lab belonging to a 93-year-old man, went missing in a nature preserve in Los Angeles.

To get her back, volunteers filled traps with food they knew Sunny couldn’t resist: homemade meatballs, kielbasa and rotisserie chicken.

Man, 93, reunites with lost dog after rescuers lure her with his socks

“She wanted to get back to him; she just didn’t know how,” rescue volunteer Jennifer Justice said.

Trump now plans to demolish the ENTIRE East Wing of the White House so he can build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom for his billionaire friends.

The teardown could be finished as soon as this weekend—destroying a structure built at the turn of the 20th century during Teddy Roosevelt’s administration.

Gaza?

Ukraine?

The economy?

The shutdown?

Monitoring ICE?

Nah!

“My fun new ‘look how great I am’ ballroom building project! That’s what I care about the most right now!”
-Donald J. Trump, U.S. President

I had a secondary duty in the USAF as a security policeman (MP)

Even removing your weapon from its mount or holster required paperwork an inch thick afterwards to justify the action.

The fact that these goons are being allowed to point a loaded weapon in someone’s face is unfathomable.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Totally.

She’s not there.

In Trump’s mind, might as well tear it down.

I assume he doesn’t want to give the Republicans in DC more ammo to use against him and the party during the shutdown standoff.

people voted for a guy who in the last couple of days posted a video fantasy of himself shitting on americans, torn down the fucking east wing, and declared that the treasury has to pay him $230 million for reasons.

And Lemon, it's Tuesday.

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021.

The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.

It’s all part of the Rightwing efforts to smear everyone on the left.

“We are all bad things.

We hate America.

We hate Jesus.”

It is, of course, ludicrous.

They want their remarks spread on media & hope their base buys the BS.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

This is so fucking wrong. He’s just ignored the entire process that must be followed to mess with the peoples’ house. Like he ignores every other rule, norm, & law. I’m so fucking pissed off at his Republican enablers who let him do this. The White House is OUR house. Not his.

And he named his son Barron!
What would Freud say?!

What real Baron did Trump pick this (John Baron) name from? The idea had to come from somewhere?

Is Trump a multiple personality?

Good stuff, but is there a shorter, simpler version we can use or share?

And, I’d love tips on what activism things I can do to help, or where to look.

We are pretty much living what Germany experienced in 1933.

And we are not doing any better than they did.

It breaks my heart.

Yes. It’s dire and bleak.

And I hope we do not stop trying and fighting.

Trump will die eventually.

We need to be ready to do all we can, especially when we get the moments to take our democracy back.
