It's a sad metaphor for what he's doing to the country
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Today is Day 22 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:
1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.
2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.
3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.
And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims
The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

Red, white, and blue Manx-inspired log cabin quilt blocks arranged in the Barn Raising pattern, voile banner with gold/orange sparkle lettering that reads, "Any jackass can kick down a barn".
100% hand sewn; quote attributed to Sam Rayburn. Tearing the fabric for the logs was nicely cathartic!

Lutnick’s “generational factory jobs” pitch is just a reboot of the caste system with better lighting. Your family fixes the robots forever, while someone else’s kids build empires.
No mobility. No exit. It's patriotism in a jumpsuit.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids
“This is the new model, where you work in these plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here,” U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says.

My latest quilt: Bílli'ya (forever). Shot cottons, wool batting, cotton thread. Hand pieced, needle-turn appliqué, hand quilted. Prairie point winged banners in the corners are embroidered with copper thread reading, “Oblaashaash + Himmaka’ + Onnakma̱.” (Yesterday, Now, Tomorrow in Chikashshanompa.)

I hate to be the one to say it, but this has been missing from nearly all the commentary–
Gang members deserve due process rights as much as anyone else.
Disappearing them is as much a crime against humanity as disappearing unaffiliated men.
