TRUMP IS A TYRANT HELLBENT ON DESTROYING DEMOCRACY! I can see Canada from my front porch, and I would rather move there and fight alongside Canadians against the wannabe dictator than see the idiot try to make Canada our 51st state. 🚫MAGA 🚫DM 🚫 KINGS

He’s not satisfied in just demolishing American democracy, he needs to demolish the White House to further shit on the American people. Just like he showed us in his AI video.

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting.

I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him.

Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

Oooh this is juicy. This is from Jim Comey's response to Lindsay Halligan's motion to disqualify defense counsel Pat Fitzgerald, and to set up filter protocols over old warrants. THE DEFENSE HAS REASON TO BELIEVE WHAT? lol

The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king.

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.
