$2B beautification is just g out money back that he took away, and also a waste of money (he fired so many people that could be doing their actual jobs that helped people ..)

Let’s say $2B was just going to be used to pay $100,000 salary (low for DC but let’s do it): that’s 20,000 jobs….

And it goes without saying but it’s the perfect test case for Trump to see how much he can push or how little or how much support he gets from voters, fellow politicians, and so many more

This isn’t the time to sit back and wonder what happens next …

Donate to orgs like @aclu.org and others, because they are doing the work to fight things in court

If you’re sitting and wondering “what can I do to help” these are two HUGE things you can do to help if you don’t live in DC.

There are 700,000 people who live here and we don’t have voter power!

because we live here, and we have no fucking voting power

Call your reps because YOU can pester YOUR reps that you actually have to make Congress step down. And call and harass even if your reps are GOP - especially, really!

And if you don’t have the energy

Exit and then see fucking militarized vehicles everywhere, including that there are being set up outside the Nats Stadium tonight PURELY because there will be crowds for visibility

It’s laughable how obvious the fear based visual tactics is ENTIRELY what this admin is doing but it ISNT
