Mind you, I take everything about this administration with a huge grain of salt, however there is hope:
Screencap from article [https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/trump-demolishes-east-wing-white-house-norms-rcna239516] reading: Prior to the leveling of the East Wing, members of the White House Historical Association were welcomed to the complex to help preserve “East Wing history through a comprehensive digital scanning project and photography to create an historic record,” said Jessica Fredericks, a spokesperson for the association. Fredericks added that “historic artifacts from the East Wing” were “preserved and stored” as well.

Kirk's death clearly shook him, probably because he knows he's even more hated/hateful a figure.

screencap from article: Miller did not limit his call to destroying those who commit crimes. He also spoke of those “spreading this evil hate,” telling them, “You will live in exile. Because the power of law enforcement under President Trump’s leadership will be used to find you, will be used to take away your money, to take away your power, and if you’ve broken the law, to take away your freedom.”

If so, then paint lemon slices, orange slices, surf boards, boats, etc in the pride colors within the stripes. Be sure at least one icon is a memory ribbon. #RememberPulse

So far the state has taken no action to remove those other designs. Smith said he drove across one painted with the SoDo district main Street logo on the way to the pulse site.

screencap: The DOJ memo says that the federal government will pursue denaturalization cases via civil litigation — an especially concerning move, said Cassandra Robertson, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University. In civil proceedings, any individual subject to denaturalization is not entitled to an attorney, Robertson said; there is also a lower burden of proof for the government to reach, and it is far easier and faster to reach a conclusion in these cases. Robertson says that stripping Americans of citizenship through civil litigation violates due process and infringes on the rights guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.

screencap from article: At least $715 billion would be cut from health programs, according to the CBO analysis, but it is unclear how much would be cut directly from Medicaid. Optional services under Medicaid—including physical therapy, hospice, and respiratory care for people on ventilators—would likely face cuts in many states.

Pope Leo XIV is an Augustinian. Per the WIki entry on Augustians:
Screencap from wiki entry re: Augustinians. The pursuit of truth through learning is key to the Augustinian ethos, balanced by the injunction to behave with love towards one another. These same imperatives of affection and fairness have driven the order in its international missionary outreach.[5] This balanced pursuit of love and learning has energised the various branches of the order into building communities founded on mutual affection and intellectual advancement.

Screencap from article: Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about President Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud. The lesson will not be part of a course on conspiracy theories, but an official component of the new social studies curriculum created by Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters (R).

Screencap from article: Trump’s empowerment of heavy-handed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tactics led last Thursday to a raid on a house in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in which agents who said they were U.S. Marshals, ICE, and the FBI put a family outside in the rain in their underwear and then tore apart the house. They took the family’s phones, laptops, and life savings. But the people in the house were not the ones on the search warrant. They were all U.S. citizens, a mother and three girls recently arrived from Maryland. “I told them before they left, I said you took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,” the woman told KFOR news. “I have to feed my children. I’m going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around. Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog.”

Screencap from article: Briones' ruling applies only to Venezuelan immigrants in federal custody in his judicial district. Federal judges in Colorado, south Texas and New York previously issued similar rulings. Briones ordered the government to give a 21-day notice before attempting to remove anyone in west Texas — in contrast to the 12 hours that the government contends is sufficient.

Patrick Adiarte, Actor in ‘The King and I,' ‘Flower Drum Song' and ‘M*A*S*H,' Dies at 82
www.msn.com/en-us/entert...
screencap from obit: Patrick Robert Adiarte was born in Manila on Aug. 2, 1942. He, his sister, Irene, and their mother, Purita, were imprisoned by the Japanese on the island of Cebu in February 1945 during World War II. Irene, then 5, and Patrick, then 2, were burned when the Japanese lobbed grenades at them when the family tried to escape. A month later, their father, working as a captain for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was killed. In June 1946, the family came to New York through Ellis Island so that Irene could have what would be the first of several surgeries to remove the extensive scars on her face caused by the grenade fire. While the Adiartes faced threats of deportation, Patrick (and his mom, as a dancer) would wind up in The King and I. (With the help of Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy, Congress finally granted the three American citizenship In February 1956.)

Screencap from article: “The government cannot hold lawyers hostage to force them to agree with it, allowing the government to coerce private business, law firms and lawyers solely on the basis of their view is antithetical to our constitutional republic and hampers this court, and every court’s, ability to adjudicate these cases,” AliKhan said.

screencap from article: As Adam Serwer wrote today in The Atlantic, The “rhetorical game the administration is playing, where it pretends it lacks the power to ask for Abrego Garcia to be returned while Bukele pretends he doesn’t have the power to return him, is an expression of obvious contempt for the Supreme Court—and for the rule of law.” Serwer notes that if the administration actually thought there was enough evidence to convict these men, it could have let the U.S. legal process play out. But Geidner of Law Dork noted that Trump’s declaration this morning that he wanted to deport “homegrown criminals” suggests that the plan all along has been to be able to get rid of U.S. citizens by creating a “Schroedinger’s box” where anyone can be sent but where once they are there the U.S. cannot get them back because they are “in the custody of a foreign sovereign.”

screencap from article: “The Court simply holds that under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists—be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere—it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints,” Trump-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden said in his ruling. “The Constitution requires no less.”
