I have listened to or read some things recently that described how pervasively the civil war and WW2 affected civilian life in the US - almost no one was exempt from fear and loss and deprivation of some kind.

Petworth, Washington, DC

The only decent thing about DST is that now my car's clock will be correct again. And I will enjoy it and tell myself the lie that I will bother to fix it after DST to enjoy that feeling year round. And so the cycle repeats.

Allies of the DC area: if you see someone doing this shit, CALL HIM OUT. MAKE A SCENE IF YOU CAN. He should not be getting away with this.

I would love for everyone to have access to the remote wilderness and a chance to develop survival skills. Even more than that, I would love for every single man to value the lives and safety of women, femmes, and children.

If you don't recognize that you could have also made wrong or evil choices, you open yourself up to the same when they appear wearing a different coat.

Everything about this country is so bleak besides kids

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities. I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

Finally got some snowman snow to satisfy a toddler who was so disappointed with the quality from the last storm! @capitalweather.bsky.social

Even if it wasn't Liam, it was an absolute flex. It was art. #BenitoBowl

Bad Bunny: God bless America, *all* the Americas. Damn that is going to make MAGA maaaaaaaddddddd.

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

what a shot

No Kings includes Draft Kings

I feel so Philly saying this, but welcome to team "Fuck the Pats". Let the hate flow through you! I rooting mostly for Bad Bunny and the halftime show, but happy to root against whoever is playing against the Pats.

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

Toddlers really are delightfully terrible at hide and seek.

Not just here, but i feel like I need to shout everywhere that no one needs to denigrate sex workers or immigrants to roast Melania's ludicrous vanity flop. And I still suspect it was a money laundering scheme anyway.

They voted for it on someone else's streets. They didn't think they would be inconvenienced themselves.

These monsters are everything wrong with modern police just dialed to 11.

Remember when at the outset of the invasion of Ukraine, guidance was issued to civilians about potential weak points on the Tigr

Some parts of the revolution need to be loud and in public, some of it needs to be quiet and personal. We all have a place that matches our skills, calling, and risk tolerance. Find your match and your collaborators, then keep going.

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.

JD in the 'draw me like one of your French girls' scene, except he's drawing the couch

We learned it from you, dad! The US grew from English colonies founded on genocide of indigenous and trafficked, enslaved people. That high ground you're standing on is a much deeper hole than you think.

In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.

youtube.com/watch?v=tfzx... CrazySexyCool was the first album I ever bought for myself (on cassette) and I was raised by an HIV prevention advocate. I love this coming into my podcast feeds. All the love for T-Boz for doing this cover!

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

I also reported the profile for inciting violence and threats. If your lists haven't already blocked them for you, time to go BLOCKITY BLOCK them!

Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

As more protests form, more people will decide to show up in this manner for the first time It’s important for everyone’s safety that new people learn about established practices before joining a protest - in part to inform the decision about where direct action falls within their risk profile

I am looking forward to some slapstick comedy gold as thoroughly unprepared and overconfident agents run into slippery sidewalks.

when ICE asks you questions about your neighbors, you've never met your neighbors in your life. you've never even seen them from afar. neighbors? what neighbors?

I feel this so deep in my bones.

Joint Statement- Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain on the Events in Venezuela Jan 4, 2026 1. We express our profound concern and firmly reject the military actions undertaken unilaterally in Venezuelan territory. These actions contravene fundamental principles of international law

I did some mutual aid work about it and that helped.

It’s a dark night when you look at the news and are forced to admit that you no longer believe in the power of the FIFA peace prize

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video

Apparently we are all just humming with psychic anger/shock/WTF that I woke up in the middle of the night not knowing why I couldn't get back to sleep.

This is a good visual. Looks like in order to ensure we have proof that we mailed something on a specific day, we will have to stand in line at the post office and request a manual post mark.

Voter suppression had been federalized.

"I’m frustrated around the macro level, but on the micro level I really do believe this is what true organizing looks like: neighbor to neighbor, family to family, person to person.” @maustermuhle.bsky.social's story on how D.C. fought back against ICE was one of our team's favorites this year:

With thanks to @vanhollen.senate.gov for not letting his case go. Now to protect him from additional harassment and enforcing accountability on the ghouls who did this to him.

Trying out a new PCP's office, and their "preferred language" dropdown on the intake form is time-traveler inclusive.
