This is an image of the demolition of the East Wing of the White House, to make way for Trump’s garish ballroom. The East Wing was erected in 1942; it created a beautiful symmetry with the West Wing, which dates to 1902.

I can’t help linking this demolition to the post-No Kings Day AI video, which Dan recently referenced, in which Trump, with a crown, basically shits on the protestors, i.e., on the American people. A video released by Trump.

Both of these are perfect metaphors for Trump’s destruction of our democracy and our national values.
