"No, destroying the White House is not as bad as blowing up boats carrying possibly innocent people. It’s not as bad as corrupting the Justice Department. It’s not as menacing as sending troops into American cities. And yet, this hurt is sharp."

Trump’s Mar-a-White House
The president is desecrating a symbol of liberal democracy and replacing it with a tacky, bloated eyesore.

He’s taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans and making it unaffordable for 22 million more
And using the shutdown as an excuse to deprive up to 42 million citizens-including children-of SNAP benefits
Yet is on the verge of directing the DOJ to pay him $230 million
It’s just so lawless

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.
The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!
Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.
FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Trump is threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers furloughed during the shutdown — which goes against a law he signed in 2019, by the way.
This should come as no surprise: Trump and his businesses have been accused of stiffing hundreds of their own workers out of pay over the years.

"Ignoring the tax extensions by saying they're simply a continuation of policies already in place, the Senate claims the bill will cost $442B, a tenth of what the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office calculates"
Seriously? Who do they think they're fooling with this grade school gimmick? Dicks.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Perfect @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social as usual
Virtually every Cybertruck — those freaky Tesla vehicles made to look like aggression incarnate – has been recalled, because, literally, they come unglued. What a metaphor for this regime: a weak vehicle trying to look tough, a victim of its own cheapness, an ugly toy falling apart.
Coming Unglued: Week Eight of the Stupid Coup (and the Stalwart Resistance)
Spring is here and so is authoritarianism, and I recommend your serious attention to both. We may be at this resistance business for a while, so take care of yourself so you can keep taking care of hu...

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.
