Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go. *Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

This is genuinely gut-wrenching. Anyone associated w this structure knows the endless ranks of people, over the decades, who have treated the structure and surroundings w respectāsince they were symbols for traditions of America as a whole Too apt a metaphor for Trump and US institutions overall

The government is increasingly using old photos/videos and AI to justify their unlawful actions in every area. If they were following the law correctly, they wouldn't feel the need to.

Heroās of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

Trump's meticulous construction of a secret police force in the traditional authoritarian model: hyper violent, targeting domestic political adversaries, unaccountable under law and to court. Pro Publica does a fine job here, with the sort of piece that NYT, WaPo and WSJ don't have the guts to run.

I know something about aircraft pricing, and when you "need" to get updated avionics, safety equipment etc. This is grotesquely wasteful, unnecessary, and self-aggrandizing. No Kings. Also, no cosplay Marie Antoinettes.

This video of the "ICE" agent [?] with no ID, who thinks claiming to be in the DHS means he's allowed to drive his kids around drunk answers two questions: 1. Many ICE agents probably *are* just cosplaying vigilantes with issues; and 2. Many think claiming to be ICE means they can disobey laws.
