y'all

please tell me I'm not the only one low-key traumatized by these images of the East Wing being demolished by Trump

(I'm horrified by everything else too, but this image...it's the literal destruction of *our* white house to make a palace for Trump...why is *anyone* okay with this??)
The Treasury Department told employees not to share images of the White House demolition.

The people's house is being destroyed for Trump's tacky $200 MILLION ballroom.

The @newrepublic.com actually does very useful and helpful REPORTING. How about @propublica.org? Excellent. The @51st.news is doing excellent actual reporting. So is @thetriibe.com in Chicago.

There are so many other places to get actual useful news.

I don't want to live in a country where 10-year-olds are on the news talking about how their friends saved them by lying on top of them during a shooter incident... and got shot. Thanks, GOPNRA.

Two days to comment, folks.
You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

I am no conspiracy theorist, but it really feels like they are trying to destroy our country from within. Health care, public schools, universities, research, law firms, federal workers, the environment are all getting the axe. What was it again that it made America great?

You know how in some wars, there's the side who says, "War has rules, we line up with our horses, point our guns, and fire at the same time," and then there's the other side that runs out of the trees with rusty knives and they start stabbing the fucking horses? The Democrats are the first group.
