This is how we know we are in the Upside Down.

X post by Andy Kim (@AndyKimNJ
), featuring a verification badge. The text reads, "More people need to see this. It cannot be understated. Trump is trying to criminalize the service of Habitat for Humanity and go after nonprofits who help people when they need it most. It is political retribution. It is unjust and it is a direct threat to our democracy." Below this, there is a quoted post from The New Republic (@newrepublic
), also with a verification badge, posted 1 day ago. The quoted text states, "The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for 'conspiracy to defraud the United States.' This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices...." The posts express concern about political actions targeting nonprofits and government agencies, framing it as a threat to democracy.

See the diff?

A billboard in a desert landscape features a large image of Donald Trump wearing a suit and red tie. To the right of his image, text in bold capital letters reads: "TRUMP IS GOLFING. VANCE IS SKIING. ZELENSKY IS FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY." The tweet is posted by a user named Fernando Oliver, Esq.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.
