Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

Lawmakers and ordinary citizens have to keep asking about the bag of cash, or accept an executive branch without any accountability.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Because I used the No Kings hashtag, if you're wondering who Brody King is....

he's a badass wrestler who rolled up to AEW in Mexico City and wore this on international TV and then raised nearly $40K to help families affected by ICE by selling ABOLISH ICE shirts to the wrestling community!
