And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Just noting - Trump is bragging about decorating the Oval Office in gold while telling America's kids to cut down on buying toys.
Trump to Carney: "You see the new and improved Oval Office. As it becomes more and more beautiful with love and 24 karat gold. That always helps too."

1. You are not allowed to record video of them ever

2. They get to murder you because they got mad

So a new 25% tariff on China and India effective immediately? When do these new tariffs start getting collected? This is on all goods from those countries immediately? What about the limited trade deal we just made with China? That’s over now or is this just more bs?

Is Trump going to terminate his personal business deals with UAE worth a total of $500 million?

They are Iran’s 2nd largest trading partner.

What about the advanced chips we just agreed to sell them?

Are we still selling them $14 billion in Boeing 787s?
