The media and misinformation plus racism and misogyny elected him. So obvious it doesn't warrant more explanation.
I have to go back to Denmark and face my friends and family who cannot understand how America could be so stupid.

Holy shit! This looks even worse than yesterday. They’re not trying to save any part of the East Wing.

When I took these images of the East Wing, I knew it would be some time before I ever got to see them in person again. I never imagined no one would ever be able to see them in person again. 😞

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Trump is demanding that the Justice Dept pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.

Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

You need to see this…

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

🧵Do not forget Maria Machado.

Venezuelan opposition leader who just won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Do not doubt for a second that by giving the award to her, the Nobel Committee didn't effectively crown Trump too.

They are cut from the same right-wing authoritarian cloth.

Please know this.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.
