I think about this 📌 post a lot. About how Obama had his March Madness picks, his movie and music critiques, his support of artists.

I also think about how the previous presidencies usually had some 🐕 and 🐈 at the White House. An appreciation for creativity and life.

This administration seems unmoved by art.

There is no Shakespeare in their language, no Baldwin in their conscience, no Springsteen on their radios, no Swift in their playlists.

And when leaders feel nothing for beauty, it’s the soul of a nation that suffers.

Still just wondering how much more we need to see and feel before someone in an authoritative position deems that fucker needs to be 25th'd, along with the rest of his cabinet. He made it crystal clear what he thinks of America, and now he is permanently disfiguring the White House. There is no

In some ways, the regime half-assedly tearing off part of the White House without regard for construction protocols might have more of an impact on the offline folks than the past ten months.

Yes! And to me, equally important:
Freedom of speech. Freedom of religion. Separation between church and state.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

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.

Hey Rep. Chip Roy: You're lying your arse off, your religiosity is repugnant AF, and separation of church and state is the law of the land. Take your authoritarianism, your religion, and your mouth-mullet and go crawl under a rock.
