Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

This is low key what a civil war looks like … if anybody fights back. And if not, it’s just complete descent into fascism and the end of federalism.
