Get up Stand up

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

PSAKI: “The people who spent months saying you were going to bankrupt NYC are the same people supporting the ridiculous $1.776 billion fund. What say you?”

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.

To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

Happy Pride, New York City.

The sickest thing about gas prices going from $2.84 to $4.99 in just two months is that Donald Trump is mentioned over 38,000 times in the Epstein Files.

The White House looks like a Six Flags that closed because it got hit by a hurricane

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?

In case anyone was wondering what the judge's ruling against Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case was.

A bazillion people have weighed in on this tweet.

Not one person is arguing Stephen Miller isn’t an ugly fuck.

I went to the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark NJ.

The detainees are not just on a hunger strike because the food has maggots, people have also died, there have been 2 miscarriages due to denial of medical care.

The detainees are also on a labor strike. The facility doesn’t hire maintenance staff and forces them to maintain the facility for $1 a day. They also sometimes don’t even pay them the dollar.

New reporting reveals the Trump admin has used $67,000,000 of National Parks entrance fees to fund Trump's vanity projects in DC.

This includes the painting of the Reflecting Pool, which he doled out to a MAGA contractor for $7,000,000.

Never Forget: When the Panama Papers came out it revealed all the richest people in the world are part of an enormous conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and nothing happened except a reporter working on the story was assassinated.

At this point, Americans are no longer taxpayers.

We are fraud victims.

And we want our money back.

“Why are there so many chemical leaks in the US right now?”

Well, Trump cut the EPA, FDA, and deregulated everything, so this is just the start

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Trump raped E. Jean Carroll, still owes her $86 million, and is now using the power of the federal government to keep targeting and harassing her. Abusers don’t stop abusing.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Half the cost of Trump's Reflecting Pool renovations is being paid for by National Park entrance fees, money that was previously used for park maintenance and preservation.

Donald Trump is sending the Justice Department after a woman he raped.
