Rose garden, colonnade, oval office, East wing, reflecting pool… and now the cherry blossoms? This guy is single-handedly destroying Washington history and the Republicans just keep allowing it. Aren’t they supposed to be conservative??
Conserve something.

@MichelleObama @BarackObama @ObamaFoundation This gives me so much comfort and hope!💜😊

@CatbethJ @allenanalysis Thank you for clarifying that. I was confused.

2022: “Stop overreacting, they won’t overturn Roe.”
They did.

2023: “Stop overreacting, they won’t let women die rather than get an abortion.”
They did.

2024: “Stop overreacting, they won’t arrest women for miscarriages.”
They did.

2025: “Stop overreacting, they won’t turn women into incubators.”
They did.

2026: “Stop overreacting, they won’t attack mifepristone.”
They did, today.

Now: “Stop overreacting, they won’t go after birth control next.”
They will.

Absolute 🐂 💩 being kicked off Hulu add ons for no ads. @verizon supposedly upgraded their contract with the Disney Hulu bundle. So as to not have us double pay told Hulu to stop our payments for no ads BUT THE EFFING UPGRADE IS FOR HULU with ADS. WTAF. Only Disney no ads. 🤨

[Maxine Shaw @NayTheGeek]

Annoyed @Verizon and @Hulu. Claiming the contract ended that allowed those with the legacy Disney bundle to pay a small fee to have Hulu without ads. They failed to provide notification of this occuring and I only received this info after over an hour with Customer Service.

[Qiyra Marie @QiyraMarie]

@NayTheGeek @hulu_support @hulu What Maxine said! Just off customer service with Hulu and @Verizon . This is BS! And yes ads make me irrationally angry which is why I pay Hulu extra to not have them. If Verizon did this so called legacy upgrade it should include Hulu with no ads since you made H cut usoff

BREAKING: Experts SOUND ALARM after Trump issues memo that could allow his staff to delete millions of White House emails in violation of record preservation laws.

The timing alone should set off alarm bells. The Trump administration is currently being challenged in court over its preservation of government documents. And this week, it issued new internal guidance that a leading archives expert says gives White House staff "license to do the exact opposite" of preserving records.

The memo, issued by White House Counsel David Alan Warrington to Executive Office of the President staffers, represents a "significant departure from historical practice" — Warrington's own words. It quietly rewrites the rules around which communications need to be saved and how.

University of Maryland professor Jason R. Baron, who specializes in archives and the law, read the memo and sounded the alarm immediately. The new guidance, he told the Washington Post, provides nothing that "prevents the White House from directing the transfer or destruction of White House records, including tens of millions of emails, either before or after the end of the president's second term in office."

The key sleight of hand is buried in the language. The memo says EOP components are "free to retain" previous record-preservation policies. As Baron points out, that also means they are free not to. Text messages now only need to be preserved "when they are the sole record of official decision-making" — and staffers are merely "encouraged" to memorialize those exchanges in another format rather than preserving the original exchange directly.

Translation: if someone decides a text isn't the "sole record" of something, they can delete it. And nobody has to take a screenshot.

Federal law is unambiguous. Presidents and their staff are required to preserve records related to government activity and turn them over to the National Archives at the end of each administration. Warrington’s memo, however, doesn't clarify whether these records will actually be turned over, and doesn't specify how Trump or Vance will personally preserve their own records.

This is the administration that used Signal to discuss active military strikes in a chat that included a journalist. The administration that has fired numerous inspectors general. The administration that is fighting records requests in court while issuing internal guidance that makes destruction discretionary.

"While paying lip service to the need to preserve White House records," Baron said, "the memo actually gives EOP staff license to do the exact opposite." Nixon erased 18 minutes of tape. Trump's team may be preparing to erase tens of millions of emails.

@SenWarren I thought he was told he couldn’t build it anymore until he went through the proper channels for approvals and permits. 🤔😖

@MaryLTrump I want to get an exfoliating bar of soap and scrub the religious rhetoric out of his mouth. God and warmonger do not go together.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

It's not that Donald sent this as awful as it is; it's that nobody felt they could stop him or, worse, nobody thought they should.

Don’t let this explosive story disappear.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Let’s keep this front and center EVERY DAY

[Qiyra Marie @QiyraMarie]

@Rightanglenews Well that has me ugly crying. A sliver of light and hope in the current dumpster fire of my world. Courage, accountability, kindness, love, forgiveness. This is what it can look like.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.

Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.

Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.

We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

A driver's license isn't just a plastic card in your wallet. It's how you prove who you are to your employer, to your landlord, to the bank, to the hospital, to any organization that requires an ID.

It's the key that unlocks a job, an apartment, a loan, medical care. To VOTE!
Now you are receiving a letter telling you that key is being taken away. Not because you did anything wrong. Not because you pose any risk. But because lawmakers decided your identity doesn't match their definition of who you're allowed to be. It should be what THEY deem is correct.

This is happening right now in Kansas no grace period, no transition plan, just a demand to surrender your license immediately, or face fines and imprisonment. All so they can hand you back another "license".

And here's what history keeps trying to teach you: when a government tests how far it can push one marginalized group, it's never really about just that group. It's about seeing what the rest of us will tolerate.
What we'll normalize.
What we'll let slide.
Today it's trans Kansans. Tomorrow it's whoever else doesn't fit the mold of the current administration.
Either we all have the right to exist in public life, or none of us do.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

You might think what’s happening in Kansas doesn’t affect you because you’re not trans, but the same government telling us you need ID to vote, is showing us how easy it is for them to take our ID. Wake up.

I need your help with something.

On Saturday afternoon, @NBCLA, the NBC station in Los Angeles, aired a 30-minute propaganda advertisement for Scientology.

I happened to stumble upon it and was in shock when I realized what was airing.

Scientology has often bought 30-second and 1-minute TV ads (mostly on local television).

It is something I strongly object to, but allowing Scientology to buy a full 30-minute block of airtime is unacceptable.

Someone who knows nothing about Scientology and happened to watch this program would not realize that it was a paid advertisement and might reasonably assume it was programming produced or endorsed by NBC, which could lead them into Scientology.

The propaganda program centered around Dianetics, a pseudopsychological book written by L. Ron Hubbard that masquerades as a mental-health book but is, in reality, an entry point into Scientology — a dangerous, fascistic organization that seeks to destroy the lives of its members and their families.

Nothing about Dianetics or Scientology is helpful or rooted in science. Even critics and skeptics of psychology and psychiatry do not endorse Dianetics and Scientology.

For a major network to present this material in this way is deeply alarming. I understand that Scientology has been purchasing increasing amounts of advertising time across the country, but this crosses a line.

Please use the link below to contact @NBCLA to let them know what a serious mistake this was and urge them to never again allow Scientology to purchase a block of airtime like this.

And please like and repost this post so that more people can join us in reaching out to NBC LA.
