Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Yet another great moment on X, the everything app: Looks like somebody hacked the account of @wmatagm.bsky.social, and of course it's cryptocurrency spam.

Zero. Sympathy. They did this to themselves. Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.

oh no someone defaced the banner of Dear Leader in Logan Circle, Washington, DC

every day i wake up and start punching myself in the groin but then i also STOP punching myself in the groin and i'd like to be recognized for that achievement

It’s imperative that we find out why. As a wildly unqualified Trump donor, he seems unlikely to have told Trump no. But maybe? apnews.com/article/pent...

Organize. Demonstrate. Get good lawyers. That's how WABA saved the 15th St bike lane joeflood.com/2026/04/22/l...

Victory! WABA celebrated their legal victory over the Trump regime. The 15th St bike lane is safe for now

Hahahahahahahaha Oh my! Is this an opening para or is this an opening paragraph? This alone should end any normal human cabinet secretary.

Pallets of cash to Iran, you say?

Trump trashed the JCPOA, only to offer, his very own, JCPOA, cool, cool. Peak Trump. U.S. considers $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal with Iran, according to two U.S. officials and two additional sources briefed on the talks. www.axios.com/2026/04/17/i...

Stop Arch Insanity protest outside the Building Museum, where Trump's hand-picked board of cronies approved plans for his arch. 250 feet tall! That's a 20 story building blocking the view of Arlington Cemetery and in the approach to DCA.

Stop Arch Insanity rally outside the Commission for Fine Arts to stop Trump’s vanity arch

Park Police = the worst police

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

We've frequently seen political trends carry across international borders (eg, the anti-incumbency wave of ~23-24). Let's hope this is an indication of a budding international wave of anti-authoritarianism.

Trump is next

Seven years without a driving license, and we’re still waiting to find the limits of the bike-train combination in the Netherlands. The latest: 100 km by rail from Delft to Tilburg, followed by a 20 km pedal through the Brabant countryside for a car-free weekend escape in the woods outside Diessen.

if you remember the 1776 Restoration Movement in DC and Lisa Marie who memorably trolled them, then this will be of interest www.theguardian.com/books/2026/a...

Jeez… talk about your nightmare blunt rotation 🤦‍♂️

Looking down 16th St toward the antiwar protest outside the White House last night. I shot this with a Canon and a zoom lens from Scott Circle

TACO or no TACO, the protest outside the White House went on

Join Refuse Fascism DMV at a press conference at the White House Tuesday, April 7 at 1 PM to demand an end to the war against Iran and Trump‘s war crimes. Come back to the White House at 8 PM, the hour Trump says he will begin attacking civilian infrastructure, for a rally and protest.

Supposed to rain later but right now it’s gorgeous on the Mount Vernon Trail

When the world’s most famous explorer is murdered at the Smithsonian, it’s up to a cynical Washington detective to solve the case in this murder-mystery novel amzn.to/46nukwC

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
