Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!

one of america’s most cherished folk singers wrote an entire song about what a cruel criminal piece of shit donald trump’s father was all the way back in 1954 and somehow this basically never comes up in any story about the trumps, they have literally *always* been this way
the whole fucking family from trump’s parents on down have been a goddamned blight on this country for at least seven decades

Someone should’ve pointed out to gNoem that she’s a grown-ass adult and can therefore keep track of her own blankie.
“…in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem's blanket was left behind on a plane, according to people familiar with the incident.”

In other words, our tax dollars will be used to convert these warehouses to concentration camps.
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

This thread, my goodness. He had me at “tax billionaires out of existence.”
When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism.

I think the Trump admin greatly underappreciated the degree to which collectively braving “holy shit” levels of cold is central to Northern community. My (totally speculative guess) is that for many protestors, It’s not a deterrent as much as an extra source of community pride and resilience.
I feel like an under-appreciated piece of all the protests that have been happening in different parts of the U.S. over the past few weeks (and months!) is that it's, like, super cold in many of these places.
If protests persist this year, genuinely curious if the crowds grow when weather warms.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

I'm begging the media to state this clearly -- we are all in danger now because of the deliberate choices made by Trump's administration and RFK Jr in particular.
When the next major outbreak of a preventable disease strikes, they'll point the finger at other people. But it'll be their disaster.

We had eradicated this disease.
And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.
