Just got back to DC & immediately saw excessive helicopter activity, armed soldiers in the park & within an hour was almost murdered by an insane Maryland driver when I was crossing the street. It is really hard to live in this city.

DC residents fought back while DC leaders cowered & capitulated & collaborated with our occupiers & oppressors @mayorbowser.dc.gov @anitabondsdc.bsky.social & @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social can’t leave office soon enough #FreeDC

It’s the holidays & parties abound! 🥳 Just remember, the Covid infection you get this season could be the liver disease, diabetes or cancer you get next season. Covid’s the “gift” that keeps on giving! Stop getting it & regifting it. Wear K/N95😷, ventilate, HEPA air filtration, test before gathering

FYI for people who think the National Guard in DC just stand around or mulch. #FreeDC

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

1 in 4 workers in Spain in this research developed #Longcovid. Covid is an occupational health hazard everywhere, because it’s airborne in all indoor shared air spaces. #CleantheAir #WorkersRights www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/wor...

Russ Vought loses in court yet again! The full DC Circuit vacated a panel decision that could have permitted Vought to dismantle the CFPB. Amidst an affordability crisis, today’s ruling is a necessary and timely win for CFPB workers and the everyday Americans we serve. nteu335.org/2025/12/18/c...

never has there been a televised, nonstop, coked-up, used car salesman rant from the white house

Anti-democratic “Democrats” need to be primaries. How dare you @gene4va.bsky.social @repmoskowitz.bsky.social? Absolutely disgusting. GTFO of DC #FreeDC

pre january 2025

The secret airport deportation program denies victims any semblance of due process.

Holiday gathering reminder 🎁 If your guests test w/rapids twice before the event, 48 hours apart, it’ll catch 63% of Covid cases even if they have no symptoms. Testing 3x improves that to 79%! This is how we curb the annual January surge that gave me Long Covid—thanks for protecting yr community 🤍

this city has badly badly fucked all this up

whyyy

This. Is. Fucked. Spread the word.

Watch the leaders in Minneapolis put DC’s Mayor, Police Chief, and most members of the DC Council to shame.

It’s 12:40am and there is another helicopter low over Capitol Hill. It’s the second time in 25 minutes.

The Enshittification of iPhone is here with Liquid Glass. It is cartoonishly bad bad bad.

Love all these DC Dem women who served only property owners and developers that supported their campaigns peacing out while leaving the city a cruel, unaffordable mess for someone else to clean up. Sayonara. You won’t be missed.

It’s about time people gave the WV Governor heat about this. People of TN, SC, LA, MS, GA etc should do the same

Squishy Lindsey “I believe” is doing more work than reporters seem to believe. Lindsey, like her boss, is lying.

War criminal gets fake peace prize 😬

I never saw a Cedar Waxwing before until I saw this dead one in front of my building 😞 so pretty and sad

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

And not one of them ever served on a District Court, while both Sotomayor and Jackson did.

Trump cleanse

It’s like his version of a graffiti tag only both sad and disgusting

But wait, there’s more: –paved over Black Lives Matter Plaza. –cut early childhood educator pay. –cut emergency rental assistance. –let Federal low income housing funds lapse. –bulldozed homeless encampments & brought back congregate shelters. Can’t wait to “run through the tape” in ‘26!

2025 wrapped: –made it easier to evict tenants & lock up kids. –enriched developers & sports team owners. –took healthcare away from the underinsured to fund business tax breaks. –collaborated w/Federal law enforcement to obliterate DC’s status as a sanctuary city. Promises made, promises kept!

Democratic Senators need to stop voting to confirm these lawless Trump cronies to the federal judiciary. They have to start acting like our democracy is at stake, because it is. nocronyjudges.com

Hey y'all, this is genuinely the last day to support Melissa. You all can help prevent the loss of housing! Any small amount helps!! En masse, it would take so little from everyone. Please support and share if you can. We have been working with her for a while now and can vouch - she is good people!

It’s Giving Tuesday! This year, why don’t you give to mutual aid, either groups or literally just give money to your neighbors in need? If you’re in DC, @remorahousedc.bsky.social and @ftpmutualaid.bsky.social are awesome options

It's wild to think we're going into year 7 of this mess and somehow big media & govt's have normalized alienating anyone who uses health mitigations

DC is not safer with more militarized policing. DC is not safer with MPD‘s consistent involvement with the military and federal agencies. We have seen during this occupation, that MPD’s complicity has been to the detriment of our community members! SHAME! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

LFG!

Just learned there’s a setting here that will not let you post an image w/o ALT text & you should turn that on if you haven’t. Ahem @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social @meidastouch.com etc Wish there was a setting that would prevent reskeets of images without ALT text bc ppl keep putting that ish in my feed

you don't (or shouldn't) have to type a single damn thing in to add alt text. if you are screenshotting a web page or document just select copy and paste. if the text is inherent to the image itself or can't be selected your phone already does the OCR on it and you just need to copy/paste from that

Graduating from PT for one joint injury only to immediately injure a different joint is a real kick in the teeth. Apparently I still have much patience to learn.

Sigh so @georgetakei.bsky.social just posts clickbait all day long?

OUTRAGEOUS: A week after a federal judge ruled that the national guard troops’ deployment in DC is unlawful, Mayor Bowser is having MPD start to patrol with them. Bowser continues to help Trump run roughshod over the law and our rights. Soldiers should not police our streets. #MAGAMuriel

A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff. But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days. WTH? Tonight...

More than 1000 kids died from Covid in 2020-2022, and nearly 6 million have long covid. I don’t have kids, but this government is trying to kill yours. Stop collaborating by downplaying Covid as a risk.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

So now instead of or in addition to collaborating with immigration enforcement to kidnap & disappear our neighbors, MPD is now a protection force for our illegal military occupiers. @mayorbowser.dc.gov DGAF about protecting DC residents. She needs to be sure to get that football stadium 🙄 #FreeDC

People in & outside of DC who think the National Guard “haven’t been doing anything” have not been paying attention. They have been patrolling neighborhoods, chasing teenagers in Navy Yard on Halloween, providing a perimeter for immigration enforcement operations, but mostly…

Making this ethnic cleansing campaign explicit. Things are going to get so much worse.

There is literally no reason for the military to be in D.C.

NEW: A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.

NEW: The two shot National Guard troops never should have been in DC. More troops is no answer. The violence is horrible and unacceptable. Trump, Pete Hegseth, and West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey never should have put the troops in this position. Tonight, at Law Dork:
