@janeese4dc.bsky.social The two things that make my DC life most aggravating: lax enforcement of pedestrian safety laws (when I die it'll be because a delivery bike ran me over in a crosswalk) and the dang RATS. Would love to hear your plans for pedestrian safety and pest management!

The IOC has banned the courageous & principled Ukrainian Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych for his “helmet of memory” commemorating Ukraine’s war dead. Meanwhile the IOC is selling a $42 "Heritage T-shirt" commemorating the 1936 Olympics, known as the Nazi Games. shop3.olympics.com/en/olympic-g...

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

A 19-year old U.S. citizen was traveling from Albuquerque to Tucson. He was arrested and detained by ICE for 10 days, before his family showed a judge his identification & he was finally released. news.azpm.org/p/news-artic...

This is exactly the rationale used for the internment of Japanese Americans. It was, the fact that we lack any evidence of sabotage means that Japanese Americans are sneaky and good at hiding it. Insane.

Despite Elon Musk's claim that the foreign aid freeze hasn't killed anyone yet, Nick Kristof finds ample evidence to the contrary. In South Sudan, HIV-positive mothers and children who lost access to lifesaving drugs have died. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The Trump administration’s detention of Mahmoud Khalil — a green card holder studying in this country legally — is targeted, retaliatory, and an extreme attack on his First Amendment rights. apnews.com/article/colu...

there’s an alternate universe where the United States makes a sincere effort to provide a better life for all of its citizens but then also does funny stuff like this

“You got here a week ago, under the wire, you know your case manager for three days. And now you’re not allowed to call them to get support from them. All of that is on hold. If you’re a recent arrival, you’re what, just on your own now?” www.cnn.com/2025/01/24/p...

Watching Craig Melvin and wife try and famous their way past the line to get into the Hay Adams bar... Real cute.

i don't have preferred rules of war, i have a moral opposition to genocide

the real bottom line is this: we should not have to draft a blueprint for a workable Middle East peace plan before we’re allowed to stand against a campaign of mass murder
