Updating my LEGO White House

The name of the firm that “designed” this fascist dancehall is McCrery Architects, Washington DC. Hitler had his Albert Speer, and apparently the pedo-prez has his James McCrery. Well done sir. You’ll forever be remembered as architect to the pedo-fascist regime which destroyed the White House

well i think naming a ballroom after your best friend is something to be celebrated tbh

Wild weather weekend in Oregon: - 2-3 inches of rain the Valley and 4-6 in in the foothills/mountains -Strong winds that’ll cause some power outages -Legit mountain snow at Santiam and Willamette passes (to say nothing of the high country). Full story: tinyurl.com/bdf99zzm

Stop the presses

running for president in '28, my entire campaign is just two posters, one picturing prominent members of the current administration beneath the banner headline "PRISON", and another of all the leading techbros beneath the banner headline 'WE WILL TAKE ALL THEIR MONEY'

You're not gonna believe who is funding the destruction of the White House. Ok, ok, maybe you will...

Bonus primary points to which ever Democrat promises to demolish whatever fucking monstrosity ballroom Trump builds

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Greg Newby, who led Project Gutenberg ( @gutenberg.org ) with passion and purpose. Greg’s belief in free and open access to knowledge continues to inspire us and so many others working to preserve our shared culture online. gutenberg.org/about/newby....

you think it's "gay" to be associated with anything left of center ... *opens manilla envelope* ... and yet, on jan 21, 2025 ... *slides 8x10 photo across table* ... you wore the tutti frutti

it doesn't actually happen all that often, but i love it when trump lashes out and calls his strongest supporters stupid ingrate pieces of shit, and ranchers are near the top of the list of assholes who deserve it

Trump’s partial East Wing demolition and $250 million presidential ballroom is sponsored by Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and more. levernews.com/who-bought-t...

Pay attention -- what he means is allowing Democrats to win a free and fair election.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

"Mosquitoes have been found in Iceland for the first time as global heating makes the country more hospitable for insects. The country was until this month one of the only places in the world that did not have a mosquito population. The other is Antarctica."

The clips and conversations I’m hearing about the SNAP (food stamp) cuts should be above the fold everywhere. It’s a scary time for a lot of people.

POTENTIAL?! He’s LITERALLY stealing from us.

Lankford was in the Senate when the Intelligence Committee wrote its giant report concluding that Russiagate was not a hoax, and it's criminal negligence by CNN to let him say this on air with no pushback.

You simply cannot be a political journalist today if you don't know the deep ins-and-outs of the nonsense conspiracy theories. Because people will just constantly say stuff that is blatantly false and you NEED to be ready to call it out with receipts.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Yesterday two Trump-appointed judges lifted a stay on Trump sending the National Guard into Democratic cities, and today Coons, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Heinrich, Kaine, Kelly, Klobuchar, Reed, Schiff, Shaheen, Welch, and Whitehouse are giving him yet ANOTHER appointment. Totally fucking useless!

SNAP and WIC funding runs out in 9 days

Christopher Rufo bragged about it! NYT powerful editors who push "meritocracy" yet mediocre hired each other with legacy insider privilege: "The thing about this guy is that he’s a total product of right-wing affirmative action and you literally would never have heard of him if he was a liberal"

The newspaper that mainstreamed Chris Rufo, Ben Shapiro, Bari Weiss, and Charlie Kirk renews its calls to meet fascists halfway:

The president of the United States has a revenge committee. America has become an authoritarian state.

One of the most telling admissions. I saw some follow up from him & it was clear that he misses why. The point is that without the massive protests *he wouldn't have known all the outrage even exists* bc he never hears about it on X where he hangs out & gets his info. And that's why we protest.

A spokesperson for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott argued his office’s emails with Elon Musk are confidential under a “common-law privacy” exception to public records laws because they may include “intimate and embarrassing” information. (Published July) With @kutnews.bsky.social @texastribune.org

Trump take egg

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

it's cool how we have a government that 4chans constantly on twitter and shows off videos of the president shitting on americans while also being like, "make sure nobody sees us destroying the white house" this is super normal stuff for highly stable nations

Folks. I'm going to suggest that the interim United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia is... not very bright.

The dissent does an excellent job making the majority look like fools. cst.brightspotcdn.com/d9/44/ff61b3...

The images of the East Wing being demolished are potent symbols that Dem electeds would use if they had a clue.

New: A DOJ lawyer claimed Alina Habba's appointment was "consistent with longstanding practice." But a Third Circuit judge asked him to name another time a U.S. attorney was seated this way. "Well, I guess I cannot," the lawyer said.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

There used to be entire architectural associations whose whole purpose was to lose their minds when someone tried to change the way the White House looked. Taller fence? Gasp! Close the street in front? Quelle horreur! Where'd they vanish to?

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

The first look at the scale of Disney backlash after it suspended Kimmel. Wow>> “Antenna estimated a total of 3 million cancellations for Disney+ and 4.1 million for Hulu in September. Both of those figures far exceeded the trailing three-month averages for the services” www.wsj.com/business/med...

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

Right enough of this Louvre robbery/internet down malarkey. We are a medieval guild hall. We should be posting on appropriate topics. Ooh look at the Rudston Venus mosaic that we photographed in Hull last week! #mosaicmonday

if republican attacks on the ACA succeed, we don’t get a better health care system out of the deal, we just lose what we have. this is blindingly obvious to anyone who has even paid passive attention to the last 15 years of national politics.

What a self-report. Editor at the NYT admits to reading the world through the lense of his X feed, which makes sense of so much that comes from the NYT and other legacy media outlets (where I assume this is also a problem).

this shit isn’t hard to learn, it’s very well documented, and it’s within living memory of basically anyone over 35, this is willful ignorance

It's not just that the NYT chose to ignore the massive protests -- 300,000 in their city alone! -- but that the piece they *did* run on the front page about Democrats is almost cartoonishly bad in how much it whines that they're just not doing what A.G. Sulzberger LXVII wants them to do.

it's really great that the sneering editorial tone of the ideology comes in left, right, and centrist flavors, all of which reflect the nepotistic preferences of its ownership

Washington Post editorial board, 2 days ago: "The idea that Trump is easily swayed by Putin, let alone manipulated or controlled by him, does not hold water."
