In Mount Pleasant, a tight-knit D.C. neighborhood where immigrants are deeply embedded into the social fabric, the Trump administration’s targeting of migrants has shaken the community. From @samdelgado.bsky.social, here's one poignant example of the impact this loss is leaving:

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

@popville.bsky.social Something going down at 17th and Newton Street. I lost count of the emergency response. It's a sea of flashing lights at this point.

If That Man wants to micromanage the city of DC, can I start sending him my pothole complaints and other 311 reports? Someone suggested postcards.

That Man wants war with Canada in four years so he can claim it is too dangerous and delay elections. Did I get that right? He always reveals his plans by what he accuses others of, in this case his obsession with Zelensky.

I have even more respect for Volodymyr Zelenskyy. If only America's leadership had half the good sense and self possession. Instead we get bullying and tantrums. And the Toxic Twins droning on and on about "respect" like the weak losers they are. I am ashamed.

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt. Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires? We have our answer. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

If anyone from That Man's administration complains about how the DC government handles the snow, they should be allowed to handle it. Either my parents' street will get plowed or Those Men will be humbled.

All this hand wringing about whether we are headed to a constitutional crisis..The answer is Yes. We Are In It Now

Not surprising. Still disgusting. And the name is just petty. Would they do this if the mayor were a White man? (a thing that has never happened)

Hawai'i State Capital today. Protest While We Still Can

Got a nice photo of a guy in a MAGA hat walking up to demonstrators solely to spew anti-trans hate at the Hawai'i State Capital today.

Got a tip? I oversee five reporters looking at the Trump Administration, conflicts of interest, & abuses of power. And I am eager to give them more work. Get in touch here:

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

There are federal government office buildings all over the country. Not just in the DC area. Folks need to be demonstrating there too! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal...

Just a reminder that the Government Accountability Office exists. Actual investigators and analysts who don't go off vibes and fantasies.

Oversight of US Capitol Police is legislative branch not executive. Just putting that out there No reason.

If I were a current or former federal employee I would make sure I have an updated SF-50. Here is how to get it from the archives if you can't get it from your agency hr.

Station Eleven but there is no virus, just greed and bigotry

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories
