The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

After 20 years, I finally understand why George Lucas made it extremely obvious that Palpatine and Darth Sidious were the same person right from the start and made the Jedi soooo cartoonishly incompetent in stopping him. George, you were right. About everything. Fuck.

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.
i have watched the shooter's video. it's going to make you way the fuck madder.
I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

He’s gilded the entire White House, slapped his name on both the Kennedy Center and Institute for Peace, installed a new Trump Gold Card, and now proposing a new “Trump class” of naval vessels.

I think of all the establishment pundits and corporate columnists who engaged in civility politics for 10 years and told me and other people of color in a paternalistic tone that we were hysterical and reactionary about Trump's racism and we should be nicer to MAGA and...I see Nazi slogans in 2025.

You keep describing the current system and asking people if they want that as a consequence to some different system.
Not only are regular people experiencing these things, we are already paying more than every other country on earth to do it.
So much of it gets hidden, get it out in the open.

However, MAGA has gone full white nationalist and Groyper. It's the entire party now. Just straight up neo Nazi language and conspiracy theories and rhetoric.
They're playing for all the marbles.

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.
The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
He's a tyrant.
