He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.
Dems need to be strategic.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:
In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."
The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.
So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Yesterday, Jay Kuo gave us a guide to Trump's firehose of deplorable day-one actions. Tomorrow, guest writer Tristan Snell looks at how Democrats can win future presidential elections in this new digital media environment. Don't miss either piece at The Big Picture.
This Week In The Big Picture
With Donald Trump having just reentered the White House, it’s important to understand what went wrong for Democrats and right for Trump in last year’s election.

What does this even mean? If nothing else, I’m getting great ideas for a dystopian novel.
This is effectively a snitch on women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks policy. White men can just baselessly accuse any minority of being DEI and get them fired. They created a permission structure to bring back segregation as a matter of policy by calling it anti DEI.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

All I can do during this “inaugural address” is #cringe.

Thoughts so far:
1) #Trump looking super orange today.
2) #JDVance is sitting like his hands are glued to his pants (manspreading of course).
3) The President can pardon people before they are charged? Weird.
4) #Kamala has so much grit. I could never be there.
5) Who invited Zuck?

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.
