know how a bunch of people with a ladder just stole some fancy jewels from the Louvre and how giddy we all felt about that? This nauseating White House destructothon is the opposite of that.

A building isn’t as important as the people his administration has murdered but there’s something breathtaking about seeing them literally demolish parts of the White House. I can’t stop looking at it

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Just witnessed someone trying to fireb*mb Fletcher’s Ice Cream in NE. Saw a dude acting weird next to a parked car in front of the place. I walked by, heard a smash through my earbuds, smelled gasoline/kerosine. Turned around, snapped some photos instinctively. Thankfully they suck at molot*vs.

A war manufactured so blatantly as to recall the Iraq buildup, yet hardly treated with the urgency or the outrage it deserves. The regime change Trump is trying to inflict upon Venezuela is the result of compounding normalizations. New at FOREVER WARS:
The Legacy of The War on Terror Reaches South America
While Trump openly manufactures a war in Venezuela, Israel never stops attacking the Palestinians

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

The government is shut down. Trump is LITERALLY demolishing the White House. Kristi Noem just spent $348M on private jets. People's health insurance premiums are skyrocketing. Millions will soon lose food benefits.

These fuckers think they're royalty. #NoKings

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

I threw some support at the Kickstarter for the documentary about the great Doug Drexler, whose artistic contributions to Star Trek cannot be overstated.

If you can, throw in a couple bucks. There's some excellent rewards for not a lot of dollars.
