“This is another instance in which Trump has said one thing — that the East Wing would not be altered — and he’s altering it,” historian Alexis Coe said. The East Wing is home to the Office of the First Lady and has played a key role in women’s visibility in the White House. https://bit.ly/3JeAneF
First ladies made history in the East Wing. It was razed for Trump’s ballroom.

Her adoptive dad had sexually assaulted her for years. But when Taylor Cadle told police, she was treated like a “monster.” She was charged with lying to the police and had to write an apology letter to her abuser.

Justice finally came when Taylor took her phone and hit record.
Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/s4Sj24q

On 9/11 something really violent happened and the right wing immediately made a huge power grab while scapegoating and actively discouraging critical thought about the matter. As you can see a lot has changed since then

Also, possible hot take…

Knowingly marrying a n*zi makes you a n*zi too.

Knowingly marrying someone who said they’d make their ten year old daughter carry their r*pist’s baby to term makes you complicit in that harm too.

I’m not saying she deserved loss. I’m saying that empathy has limits.

It’s remarkable how few white people understand how their recent comments on Charlie Kirk look to their Black & brown friends.

Five years ago, y’all told us you were listening & learning only to humanize evil in a way we’ve had to beg to experience from you.

Black square energy is alive & well.

There comes a point when we can no longer “fight from within”. A point when the best way to protect the American people is to leave CDC. Deb, Dan, and Demetre reached that point. We are so proud of them for resigning. Loudly. As a warning. This is not surrender. This is fighting back.

A woman tt was just talking about how her summer electric bill is usually $200-$250. A data center was built close to her home and now her bill for August was $600.

None of this is sustainable for anyone.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Guys nothing happened.

However, CEOs are still trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while planning on replacing you with a robot and charge you for the robot’s rent

Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
