Why have so many corporations lined up to donate to Trump’s ballroom project?

Because in Trump's White House, everything is for sale — even the building itself. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbf6BJzpk1E

I haven't done the experiment but I suspect that packages of cocaine don't float? Like I don't think they would function as flotation devices?

I love this. Joy is an act of resistance, and I'm proud to see so many at UConn standing up for academic freedom. Higher education is about creating opportunity for all, and academic freedom is integral to that mission. @AAUP.org dailycampus.com/2025/12/02/a...

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.

It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping at Target, Amazon, and Home Depot during the holiday weekend over their support for Trump's authoritarian policies.

I encourage you to join — and shop small. https://weaintbuyingit.com/

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
