He cannot tell the truth - he swore none of the #WhiteHouse would be touched for the #BigUglyBallroom. I gasped at the photos - this in addition to the #trees demolished there and at the #KenCen. He works to demolish the #Constitution, #RuleOfLaw and a sacred building. wapo.st/4hqBNiU

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

A superb use of one’s money is a subscription to @democracydocket.com.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 4d

If you want to stand up against Trump by supporting independent, pro-democracy media, consider subscribing (free or paid) to Democracy Docket. It has no venture capitalists, no corporate overlords, and n interest in currying favor with Trump. It will never back down or obey. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Who in the US will see and help us? Multiple teaching hospitals where I live; referred to #LongCOVID specialists who gave me bupkis, not even empathy while I suffer. Yep I’m miserable. QoL gone. Retirement forced. It’s killing us.

And #NHS validates symptoms I knew were #LongCOVID when they began, lasted, were added to since 4/2023 infection and continue increasing. Multiple specialty docs dismiss me still while I suffer. www.mylondon.news/news/health/...

18 symptoms that could mean you have long Covid according to the NHS

Long Covid is typically diagnosed when symptoms last longer than 12 weeks

Without the Mayo virtual support group, I’d not be able to manage as little as I am. Not quite 3 years. No clue how the almost 6-ers are coping.

“The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America…
WE DON’T HAVE KINGS!”

This weekend, in what’s likely to be the largest protest against a sitting president in the modern history of the United States, Americans will declare: “This country does not belong to kings, dictators, or tyrants.”

From Maine to the Marianas, Americans Will Cry: “No Kings!”

Millions will take to the streets this Saturday to remind Donald Trump that we don’t have monarchs in this country.

“I resigned from the military because of Trump” - op-ed from #Marine of 24 years. He’s like many of those who contact #MikeyWeinstein & #MilitaryReligiousFreedomFoundation who seek help in dealing with the new #morality of serving #UnderOath. (I’ve no idea if the author did.)

#MathewShepard should be alive. He died because of hate. Speak out. Protect the rights he should’ve been afforded.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 10d

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
