Do you guys realize that — assuming we survive climate change — in like 500 years, historical reenactors are going to be walking around wearing vans and cargo shorts the same way people today dress up in tunics and knight gear.

The National Park Service removed references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web pages because of Trump.
"The rebellion at Stonewall would not have happened without trans people. To attempt to erase their existence is utterly shameful."

The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

This is 100% Elon. He irrationally hates WFH for some reason. Speaking from experience as a Tesla employee during Covid. He forced EVERYONE to work from an office. Ex: The Tesla Legal team literally had to work in a storage room at one of the showrooms after years of WFH. Pure illogical insanity.
Trump has spent literally half of his presidency at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump: "I don't think you can work from a home. Nobody is gonna work from home. They are gonna be going out, they're gonna play tennis, they're gonna play golf, they're gonna do a lot of things. They're not working."

North Dakota Republicans have introduced legislation to declare themselves a Christian nationalist state by “acknowledging the Kingship of Jesus Christ.”
This is a direct challenge to the Constitution.

Trump AG Pam Bondi has dissolved an FBI task force aimed at combatting foreign influence operations.
Ex-FBI Director Chris Wray established the task force in 2017 to combat "covert actions by foreign governments to influence U.S. political sentiment or public discourse."

Both in good times & bad, there is one thing that should always be true, and it is something that too many Americans have forgotten…
People should never be afraid of their Government, rather, the People should always make sure that the Government is afraid of them.

Trump is suggesting deporting US citizens to Third World prisons for life.
The UN has called El Salvador‘s prisons inhumane. Their current dictator is locking people up with no trial, for life, 100s in a single room, w/ lights that never turn off. And Trump wants to do that to U.S. citizens.

“If we could get these animals out of our country, and put them in a different country under the supervision of somebody that made a small fee to maintain these people […] frankly they can keep them," Trump said.

Who else is really wishing more people start taking up playing Mario games? I feel like it could solve a lot of things if just more people decided to play Mario, in like a self-sacrificing heroic sort of way. Does that make sense?

While you’re probably celebrating Groundhog Day with the original OG film, may I suggest as an alternative/addition to the celebrations, the film Palm Springs. Easily the best Groundhog Day-style film since the original.

So, in case folks didn’t already realize it — yes, y’all are going to be talking about LA a LOT over the next several years. About the fire recovery, yes, but also because in ‘26 we’re hosting The World Cup, in ‘27 we got the Superbowl, & of course in ‘28 we got the Olympics. Get used to us America.

tl;dr: Trump forced the Army Corp of Engineers to release 10x as much water as they normally would this time of year from reserviors to local farms who don’t need this water. None of the water is going to LA & it’s only serving to waste precious water we need for the summer for crops.
Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months.
And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams

What’s most insane about this is that Trump is not breaking any laws by doing this. There are zero laws prohibiting any federal elected official from privately promoting themselves and selling their own merchandise like this.
Don't worry everyone; Trump's paying close attention to the 2nd plane crash, as evidenced by his latest post.

This was a problem during his 1st term too. It’s honestly a problem with the Zoomer generation, they’ve become too docile and placid from social media. Like, during Trump’s first 4 years where tf were the new “Rage”s? The new “Public Enemy”s or “NWA”s? Where were the new “Guthrie”s or “Cash”s?

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.
