The last time I owned anything Trump-related, I burned it.
It was a candle. An orange candle, shaped like his head. A friend drew a Hitler mustache on it and we burned it on election night 2020.
Burn more Trump shit. But only if it’s free. Don’t feed the beast.

no one cares that this is illegal but it is illegal and seems like something that might trip the court’s “major questions” doctrine
Per @npr.org, the Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with the White House U.S. DOGE Service, has built a searchable national citizenship register with data from the Social Security Administration & immigration records— without public notice & comment.

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
