Capitulation to the current regime is cowardice. The Smithsonian Institution is the most egregious cowardice of all, as it has literally embodied our national history. Not so much anymore. I'm in tears.

It's vile to kill people with no actual legal justification and also vile to joke about killing those people.
Trump: "The problem is nobody wants to go fishing anymore. They don't want to get in boats. They don't want anything to do with boats. I think we've destroyed the boat market. Other than that it's been very effective."

It might be helpful to put it in terms Sleepy Don can relate to. Can anyone check if prices of luxuries 4 the billionaire class increasing? E.g., what's the recent history of greens fees at Trump's courses in FL. Or, what about the price history of a burger at the Trump Doral Hotel's Bar & Grill.

This is a video to help protect New Yorkers from unlawful treatment by ICE. Made me fall in love with the Mayor -Elect.
Mamdani releases video overviewing Know Your Rights if you see ICE + promises to protect New Yorkers and the right to protest, specifically in response to anti-ICE action last Saturday that stopped a massive raid.
Comes following question from me asking for his comment on that action.
