Like everything else Trump “fixes,” the reflecting pool (along with the war in Iran, gas prices, beef prices, and mortgage rates) is in exponentially worse shape than when he started.

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

My son was told about affirmative consent his entire life, so much so that I was wrestling with the cat which was growling at me (not seriously and she was a cat who growled when she was playing also when she ate food) and my toddler son told me that the cat said no. That shit's not hard to teach.

A 'peace' of Ukraine.
A black-and-white political cartoon featuring four minimalist stick figures arranged horizontally against a plain white background, illustrating a critique of foreign perspectives on the Russia-Ukraine war.
From left to right, the scene unfolds as follows:
• The Aggressor (Far Left): A stick figure facing right holds a detailed grey assault rifle directly at the next figure's face. A grenade and a knife hang from its waist. A rectangular Russian flag (horizontal stripes of white, blue, and red) is pasted across its upper chest. A speech bubble above its head reads in bold black text: "I will destroy you and take all your land."
• The Victim (Center-Left): A stick figure stands defenseless, leaning backward with its hands raised in a gesture of retreat or surrender. A rectangular Ukrainian flag (horizontal blue and yellow stripes) is pasted across its chest. It looks at the armed figure with a sad, worried expression.
• The First Detractor (Center-Right): A stick figure faces left, pointing an angry finger at the Ukrainian figure. It wears a bright red baseball cap with the letters "MAGA" in white. Its mouth is wide open in a yell.
• The Second Detractor (Far Right): A stick figure stands closely behind the MAGA figure, also facing left with a stern, angry glare. It is drawn with a red torso and wears a grey, Soviet-style ushanka winter hat featuring a small red star emblem on the front.
A joint speech bubble originates from both the MAGA and Soviet-hatted figures, pointing directly at the Ukrainian figure. It reads in bold black text: "Ukraine, why don't you want peace? Make peace with Russia!"

A lie does not become truth because millions believe it. Wrong does not become right because the majority accepts it. And evil does not become good because enough people choose to look the other way. The masses can make evil normal. It can never make it right.
People Pictured in the Collage

Top Left: Donald Trump with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Middle Left: Donald Trump shaking hands with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Bottom Left: Donald Trump standing alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Right Side: Donald Trump posing with Jeffrey Epstein at an event during the 1990s or early 2000s

The constitutional issue is bigger than the $810 million: if an administration can make appropriated funds disappear through a procedural loophole, Congress’s power of the purse becomes conditional on executive consent.

For those asking what can we do besides voting, if Trump declares martial law (or “marshall law” like some Republicans spell it), we grind everything to a halt. No violence, just stop the economy in its tracks. bsky.app/profile/kris...

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

Trump stole taxpayer $$ to destroy the White House and replace it with a firetrap and too few ladies stalls. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
McCrery informed the White House that Trump’s ballroom design did not meet fire safety codes, which require the majority of guests to be able to quickly exit through the main entrance during an emergency, according to the people and documents. The architect also pointed out that alternative emergency exit routes out of the building were insufficient, and that there was little in the design to prevent a kitchen fire from rapidly spreading into the event space on the floor above.

In addition to fire safety concerns, Trump’s desired ballroom design did not include enough toilets to accommodate the structure’s maximum occupancy, according to documents, and there were few options for adding more, as the event space occupied most of the building’s footprint. One early ballroom design featured just seven stalls in the women’s bathroom.
