The enduring lesson of Jan 6th is that there is no bottom to current reality. It proved that the most heinous treasonous acts had no consequences. That those who knew better willfully killed their conscience for 1 more tiny sliver of power. It’s a dark day to remember & reconciling it is even harder

Pete Hegseth, who would not know honor if it threw an axe at him, loves war criminals, probably is a war criminal and cannot stand anyone discouraging service members from refusing to participate in crimes.

For fuck's sake... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is where new age woo and traditional Christian conservatism agree on health. Both ideologies believe that if you follow THE(ir) path, you will be healthy; if you engage in vice, you get sick. You health is determined by your actions alone and are a reflection of your character.

This is the report that Bari Weiss does not want you to see. It seems to more confirm previous reporting than break anything new. What's clear is that the admin sent migrants to a foreign torture prison, probably knowingly. They should live the rest of their days in fear of accountability.

So WikiBear is real... #conan #teamcoco

Trump Solemnly Lays Wreath At Site Where He Would Have Died During Vietnam War If He Weren’t Rich https://theonion.com/trump-solemnly-lays-wreath-at-site-where-he-would-have-1832907992/

#EpsteinBallroom should definitely not be a hashtag we use freely

Democrats can just run this clip as an ad

It would really be terrible if the name "Epstein Ballroom" were to stick. #epsteinballroom

Why the fuck does ICE need "guided missile warheads" and "explosive components"?

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

Clark Construction, AECOM and McCrery Architects.

If you know anything about #construction, begining an addition to the White House 10 months into a new administration is highly suspicious. The #design and permitting phase for the most basic non-residential project is typically several months. Designing and bidding a project usually takes longer.

So now they will send guard units from DC and Puerto Rico (assuming they know it has one)?

Not good @maggiefornh.com @goodlander.house.gov 03766

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

So, Disney caves to it large affiliate owners whose broadcast licenses were threatened by the authoritarian FCC chair on a right wing podcast. Kimmel screwed up, but there is so much outrageously wrong with "indefinitely" suspending his show. #kimmel #jimmykimmellive #abc #disney

Trump's occupation of DC has "horrific 'mystery agents'...cosplaying as police so they can kidnap non-white people with impunity." That's not just the perspective of our community members. That's the perspective of MPD Officer Daniel Hodges.

What a weird rumor to address; I presume that means he plays with dolls...and probably always has.

As scary as this moment is, remember that support for political violence went DOWN after the July 2024 assassination attempt against Trump, not up www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1... We need to make the same thing happen this time.

So it sounds like Ghislaine threatened Todd Blanche with blackmail, @maddow.msnbc.com. As in, 'nice administration you've got there; be a shame if they were revealed to be pedophiles'. In that context, DOJ sending her to club fed to shut her up makes sense. #maddow

Well, they probably have the exhibit space given all of the stolen antiquities they have had to return.

Tell your members of Congress to do everything in their power to stop the increased federal law enforcement in, reject current and future attempts to interfere in DC Home Rule, and support H.R. 51, the Washington, DC Admission Act. freedcproject.org/allies?sourc...

But I heard that trade wars are good and easy to win

Valued users! We understand that over the past 250-odd years, you have come to rely on the services provided by the U.S. of A.: postal delivery, representative government, edible food, clean water, lifesaving vaccines, and no kings—ever, guaranteed. Well, 250 years of free is enough.

The lawless gutting of FEMA will have consequences. After Hurricane Katrina, disaster management reforms were put in place that are now being violated. It would be nice to see more design professionals support this declaration. #fema #katrina #hurricanes #engineering #architecture #civilengineering

In Trump America, Kennedy assassinates YOU.

I figured they would come for the NMAAHC soon enough. It is after all, within sight from the West Wing. Perhaps Smithsonian could put up something to obstruct the view so Trump would forget about it. #smithsonian #nmaahc #washingtondc #dc #dmv #NoObjectPermanance www.cnn.com/2025/08/19/p...

Must read by @lukerussert.bsky.social to understand what is happening in DC if you have never lived there (or any major city) #dc #dmv #washingtondc www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

If the military occupation of the District was about crime, then the South Carolina and Ohio guard units are more needed at home. #dc #dmv #washingtondc www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

Let’s be clear: the National Guard troops, federal law enforcement, and D.C. police cannot violate the Constitution or the D.C. Home Rule Act. Understanding your rights can help you make the best decision for yourself if approached by law enforcement.

The only increase in crime i coming from this administration. #washingtondc #dmv #dc

The rally in D.C. to protest the Trump regime’s attempted takeover of the city has begun. Follow @freedcproject.bsky.social and learn more at bit.ly/free-dc-our-home.

Joe Manchin, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen and to a lesser extent, Chuck Schumer, set the stage for Trump hatchet man Bove's confirmation to the Third Circuit (covering NJ, DE & PA). Great job everyone!

The obsession with Hunter Biden has got to end.

By negotiating with the Trump administration, Columbia is giving in to political pressure and failing to resist the current, widespread assault on academic freedom and higher education.⁠

Looks like the ship is fleeing the sinking rats at #WashingtonPost. I was a weekend subscriber when I lived in DC and a digital subscriber since moving. I wonder how long that will continue. I am not interested in supporting a pro-oligarch English tabloid-style media org. This is Bezos's fault.

Lots of Christians are weighing in today about the state of Ozzy's soul, judging the fruit of his tree. I ask this of those same people: When you celebrate taking away a child's food, a mother's insurance, a father's livelihood, what fruit are you displaying on your tree?

Rümeysa Öztürk was detained by ICE for her op-ed in the Tufts Daily. Now, the student newspaper is sharing her first public account of her experiences of being forced to live in cramped, unsanitary conditions and having her medical and religious needs ignored.

"No one deserves to live in cramped, unsanitary, inhumane conditions and have their medical needs ignored. No one deserves to have their religious needs ignored. And no one deserves to lack access to nutritious food."

I think Newsom might be going to far reaching out to political opponents on his podcast

I am sure Corporal Grok will make for a wise and judicious commander-in-chief. I cannot wait for it to have us invade the Sudetenland.
