get in folks we're Building Ward 1 Everywhere The Eye Can See

the archetypal healthcare debate

PSA

"weirdly accented weirdly named sexually inadequate moon Trillionaire becomes threat to the UK" is a Bond movie premise where eventually he gets pushed into a tank full of horny sea leopards, but MI6 doesn't have the juice for that these days

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

Spotted a new tagline in use by one of those downtown dc tour companies: "the only tour company invited to the 2025 fourth of July parade"

Tbt to when I snapped this pic almost 10 years ago the last time the fountain worked

okay thank you

New DC Health data shows a nearly 30 year gap in life expectancy by neighborhood

😂

i need one of those "i bought this tesla before elon went crazy" stickers but for harry p*tter

I need apple TV to drop a billion turning Too Like the Lightning into prestigeslop so we can all talk about driverless flying car companies imposing a ruthless new social peace through targeted assassinations chosen by AI

yes JAMA i do think i will click on that

Do read @bhgreeley.bsky.social's FAB piece on the petrodollar (1st 300 clicks free to read) as.ft.com/r/92ef3e7b-7...

It’s really funny that the most despised shooter this weekend is Klay Thompson

Trademark infringement on @ggwash.org ?

I wrote about a glaring issue with I83. Are @dcdemocrats.bsky.social aware that their voters will not have a voice in the second At-Large seat? I'm not against rank choice, but this impl is bad. washingtonsocialist.mdcdsa.org/ws-articles/...

“My patient is refusing a drug studied in 170,000 people because of side effects that a 124,000-person analysis just confirmed do not exist — while injecting a compound studied in 14 humans, from unregulated sources, based on the recommendation of someone who profits from selling it.”

Virginia........ welcome to the DMV

The spurs whole vibe rn is sick I must admit. Its okay that they rigged the wemby draft against us i forgive you Adam silver

Major fundraising announcement- we have raised enough from DC donors to receive ALL available matching funds for a ward-level campaign! 💥🎉 We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed and excited to power through the finish line in June!

Immaculate weather and vibes to talk to voters in Mount Pleasant today at the @aparnafordc.bsky.social Kid's Canvass

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

Never been happier to be too broke to fly anywhere

Why was there an Osprey over Columbia heights

i met Dolores Huerta at a conference in california around 2009. she took time to chat with every young person who wanted to speak with her and encouraged me to get started in organizing after i expressed some uncertainty about where to begin. i will always remember that.

I'm not even trying to bully this team but they have demonstrated staggering lack of sportsmanship at every leg of this tournament. Aloofness from day one. Antagonism to fellow competitors. Ignorance of standings. Lying about that. Entitlement at the very end. The perfect Ugly Americans.

$200 a barrel is misleading. You're not just paying for the container, but also the valuable crude oil inside of it.

i understand we're long past subtlety but could she at least have worn something less directly leaning into "futuristic SS-Sturmbannführer"

You're absolutely right—that was not a command post, that was an elementary school. Those were not military leaders—they were schoolchildren. I said the opposite, and that's on me.

people have been lied to about this. the GOP, the NYT, and sundry centrists have spread this bullshit story where kids are being bum rushed into surgery by a shadowy conspiracy of endocrinologists and gender ideologues

Invoking the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic to make a version of Claude that can conduct mass domestic surveillance and operate murderbots is psychotic

My children have turned me into a trampoline park, send help

putting the words "healthcare price" on anything is like a giant kick me sign. this is for name tags

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep. PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

Hey @wmatagm.bsky.social I would pay at least $37.99 for a toy bus that is also a transformer. Your move @wmata.com

Ta-Nehisi on Minnesota, and Culture War as war www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

This is because Louise Lucas said he was sitting in the cuck chair

I wasn't sure what to expect from a group of Democratic state AGs, but I definitely was not expecting a long monologue about Ruby Ridge and the Boston Massacre www.theverge.com/policy/86588...

state-sponsored child trafficking

Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

A century of what now, @nytimes.com ?

it’s just so crazy to see it happen in real time

Imagine if you took all the city's meat and put it in a freezer.

👀 Virginia senate president pro tempore calls for turning the 6D-5R House delegation into 10D-1R in redistricting. With some colorful language regarding the commonwealth’s two Democratic senators.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.
