Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

This is insane. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

This didn’t generate a ton of front-page headlines, but Trump this week signed an executive order rewarding Qatar with a NATO-like security guarantee — without bothering to go through Congress. Is this the same country that gave him a fancy plane? Yes. Yes it is. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Groups like Al-Qaeda still out there trying to figure out how to hijack airliners and build bombs. We need military leadership focused on readiness.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

You didn’t hear this from us, but the Old English word 'sibb' meant “related by blood.” This is where we get the 'sibling.' And 'godsibb' essentially meant “godparent.” Over time, it came to mean "close friend." Now it is something we share w/ close friends... 'gossip.'
