Trump is treating the White House like it's Mar-a-Lago. Like it's his property to destroy and 'renovate.' He lied when he said the new $250 million ballroom wouldn't touch the historical property. It's disgusting that he's allowed to do whatever at any cost, on our dime and in our name. Enough.

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them."

Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future.

There will be universal high income."

Texas Governor Petty Greg Abbott ordered all rainbow crosswalks to be removed under the threat of withholding funding for transportation projects, even one in Houston that was a memorial to a hit-and-run victim at the location in Montrose, a historically gay community.

#nokings

A sticker with yellow, red and black color. A scrawny Stephen Miller wearing stained tighty whities stands with legs spread, arms flexed, a Trump tattoo in black across his throat.
Text reads:

As weird as it sounds, I think Trump’s shit-bombing video helps explain why protests have skewed older.

Older folks remember a time before the president posted this stuff. If you’re young and the past decade (maybe half your life) has included a president who posts diarrhea videos, that’s just life

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 2d

Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."

AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

Probably worth noting that both Vance and Trump have been “joking” about murdering fishermen in these strikes.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 4d

The U.S. military has destroyed five boats it has alleged were ferrying drugs into the U.S., killing 27 people. No authority has publicly released the names of any of the dead. One family is believed to be the first to publicly say they believe a relative is among those who were killed.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”
