3/ Donald Trump showed no regard for this great American symbol, and we should ALL be outraged. He clearly does not view it as the people's house, but as his own. He fails to understand that he is a temporary tenant and not an owner. #Trump #whitehouse #1812 #burningwhitehouse #nokings

2/ The White House is a symbol of our country and our democracy - it is the people's house, for they choose who lives there. That is why the British torched it in the War of 1812, precisely because of what it symbolized. #Trump #whitehouse #warof1812 #burningwhitehouse

1/3 Symbols, whether it be a cross or a flag, have power and are evocative, which is why we may have a visceral reaction when they are defiled. #Trump #whitehouse #1812 #burningwhitehouse

Imagine if the Trump campaign said, inflation is bad so we need to give millionaires and billionaires $93.6 billion in 2027 alone and you're going to pay for it. And, oh BTW, bringing prices down is hard - especially when I put tariffs on everything. #trump #billionairetaxcut #bigbeautifulbill

Borrowing from Grey Poupon commercials, it is the #BigAwfulBill in a nutshell. It would be more accurate if he was asking a working Joe in a van or asked "can your grandchildren spare" since they will be paying for this huge increase in the debt. #bigbeautifulbill #trump #voteno #wealthtransfer

She said this just before Sen. Padilla was assaulted. Attacking two democratically elected officials who won by wide margins. Governor Newsom got 59.2% of the vote, Mayor Bass got 54.8%. #IceBarbi #TrumpDictatorship #KristiNoem

Tiananmen Square 6-4-89 - Never Forget. It is a continuing outrage, as China often preemptively arrests human rights activists. Never Forget those who stood for democracy and showed courage on that day and those who did not.

3/ After what #Hegseth has done with restoring the names for former Confederate bases by claiming it is named after some unknown solider, I would not be surprised if Hegseth finds a Dan White or White to name the ship after.

2 /In 2021, the second ship of the Military Sealift Command's John Lewis-class oilers launched as #USNSHarveyMilk. All ships of the class are to be named after civil rights leaders. If #Hegseth is going to rename it, will he honor that designation.

1/Lieutenant Harvey #Milk served four years in the Navy but was forced out due to his sexuality. Both parents also served in the Navy. Milk outranks Major #Hegseth and Corporal #Bonespurs and, unlike Hegseth, Milk has won an election.

On this 80th anniversary, as the son of a WW2 Vet, it is imperative that we remember what they fought for and against and join the fight against creeping fascism in the US and elsewhere. #VEDay80 #WW2 #fascism
