The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.
Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

The authority to wage war rests with Congress. This impeachable action is the reckless behavior of a man granted near-total immunity who feels unleashed to do anything.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.
This ain’t about law and order.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.
Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.
At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
