Is there any evidence any of the historic art, furnishings, and other things in the East Wing were moved and preserved before demolition started?

The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE.

They filed no charges.

He's a US citizen, and his family didn't know where he was.

All those craven comedians who are still not speaking up, better start railing.

They are coming for all of us.

They send armed goons to kidnap parents in front of their children and then get mad that we don’t thank them for “keeping us safe.”

Hell isn’t hot enough for these assholes.

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

This isn't chaos. It's a plan. The defunding of the NEA, the gutting of the NEH, and the capture of the Kennedy Center are straight from the Heritage Foundation's 'Project 2025' playbook. Read my latest TIME article to see why this cultural attack demands our attention.

Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History

"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

Rough math: 12.3% of Americans (41.7 mil) are about to lose SNAP. Many food banks produce 3 meals per $1, so a November worth of meals for one costs $30. Round it up to $35 for asst. costs & hygiene products. If 13% of us donate $35 each to food banks, we can get everyone through Nov! #EndHunger 🥙💪

A must-read on the silent censorship taking place in the US press.

So much of this is going on in American newsrooms right now, and not just to kowtow to Trump.

Example: Consider how little is being written about the extreme radicalization of Silicon Valley.

What the f^*k is this garbage? Shilling for brownshirt enlistees with images of an America that never was, a pathetic cartoon Aryan fantasy for dim people that have never read a history book or lived in a large city.

Fascist promotional graphics from our federal government. Copied these from Facebook.

1950s-era white supremacist fever dreams.

Vintage style poster graphic from the Department of Homeland Security depicting a woman in draped attire holding an American flag and a shield with an eagle. The poster also has the text “JOIN ICE NOW” and “PROTECT YOUR NATION,” along with a join.ice.gov link.
