Trump is selling pardons. If you don’t see it, you don’t understand the business model.

HERTLING: “.. a military that abandons its legal and ethical foundations does not protect a nation — it endangers it.” @markhertling.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/pete-hegse...

Get out and touch some earth today. #TFTD

The reason I want to see Secretary Hegseth and Admiral Bradley charged with murder, based on what we know, isn't because I hate the US military. It's because I served in the US military and respect it, and want to see its honor restored.

Golden hour at Manassas Battlefield Park. The light softens everything—history, horizon, the quiet pull of memory. #ManassasBattlefield #GoldenHour #LandscapePhotography #DocumentaryPhotography #SunsetLight #VirginiaLandscapes #NationalParks

The gods have changed. They now run on diesel redundancy and fiber-optic light. Manassas, VA.; COPT DC-19 data centers, a part of the Bethlehem Technology Park, surround the Griffin/Jackson private cemetery. #datacenters #datacenterspotting #MediaArchaeology #ColdSteelRail #NorthernVirginiaGrid

War crimes.

How you see a problem determines where you’ll look for solutions. When every issue is filtered through a partisan lens, the answers shrink to match the worldview. We deserve a politics big enough for reality — and honest enough for a sober treatment of the National Guard attack. We owe them that.

Hey Meta, fuck you.

Can you feel it getting closer? Trumpism is still a malignant force - mendacity tempered only by gross incompetence, but it has peaked. The winds of change are blowing. The people of Charlotte, Chicago, L.A., Portland, and DC are showing the way. Signage is from May, 2025 at Union Station, DC.

The government is poised to fast-track potentially disastrous data centres

We have ICE officers wilding in the streets. DHS personnel trafficking human beings to torture states. DOJ lawyers lying to judges and obstructing justice - but we want to focus on telling soldiers to refuse unlawful orders? Maybe the issue is immoral and lawless conduct more generally?

Veterans marched to the Capitol this weekend to remind Congress, service members, and veterans of their oath to the Constitution, which they swore to protect against both foreign and domestic enemies. Let’s stand firm and uphold our values!

The architects of Project 2025 dream of imposing reproductive servitude. But the Handmaid Army is marching straight into their sick fantasies—to turn them into nightmares. #BansOffOurBodies #Project2025 #ResistTheocracy

In the foreground harmless cosplay. In the background, a Park Police officer, dressed like a storm-trooper and wearing a mask. Fascist cosplay, corrosive, corrupting, and incompatible with a Democracy. #removetheregime #removetheregimenovember22

Remove the Regime 11/22 DC I met people today from Oregon, California, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Florida. The movement continues to grow. #removetheregime @removalcoalition.bsky.social

A low hum at 120 Hz—steady, unblinking, always on. In the data center boom, substations and server farms grow in lockstep. Each expansion demands the other—more power, more combustion, more CO₂. They’re remaking our world quietly, massively, and with lasting consequence. #ClimateCrisis #DataCenters

Today I passed a CPB/ICE checkpoint on the Clara Barton Parkway—an unwelcome reminder of the administration's authoritarian aspirations. But I wasn't surprised. A minute prior, I drove by a young man. He held a simple sign. Sharpie on poster board, written in thin, neat letters: "ICE Ahead" 🧵

📌Jonathan Harris's painting is still the most prescient thing I've seen during these past eight, awful years.

💥 @flare.usa is starting an educational series about the truth behind the corrupt organizations that we protest. Christ Church in DC is an extension of Douglas Wilson's church in Idaho. They are white Christian nationalism cosplaying as a church. 💥CONTINUED IN THREAD

The vampire next door. The new Jeff Bezos data center in the heart of Manassas. So new that on Google Maps it's still a stand of trees. PGW3+J6J Manassas, Virginia #documentaryphotography #nightphotography #datacenterspotting

I need your help getting Rachel Maddow to talk about 11/22 in Washington DC. It’s going to be big and she can make it bigger. He’s never been weaker and it’s time for the upper cut. It’s up to us. The time is now. @maddow.msnbc.com I admire you and I need your help!

Old Town Manassas this evening. A curative to all the data center fences and walls I've been seeing. A slant of warm light across worn bricks. We live in a world rushing past—but still, some places hold time gently, like a photograph just waiting to be taken. #StreetPhotography #Presence #TFTD

Trumpism is the drug that allows you to live below your professed standards.

When death comes calling for democracy, she comes as La Catrina—elegant, unafraid, a reminder that decline isn’t fate. Fear only rules when we let it. Democracy lives when we refuse to bow, when we stand guard over what must endure. @saystay.bsky.social #LaCatrina #Democracy #refusefascism

This is sobering but precise. From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

There’s a kind of shame that’s corrosive to the human spirit— then there’s also a kind that’s clarifying. Joseph Campbell called it the recognition that we are not God - we cannot fly too close to the sun. A healthy society depends on leaders who understand their limits, ... #Shame #WakeUp 1/5

Light, arches, movement. A reminder that even in difficult times, we pass through beauty on our way to one another. #UnionStation #DC #StreetPhotography #EverydayAmerica #OttoImagery #builtenvironments

My favorite picture from yesterday's Veterans Rally. It's ice cream on a cold day but there's a genuine warmth in the interaction. There's a lot going on visually at these events but the best moments are catching people just being real. #streetphotography #eastcoastkin #DC #vets

“Our oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.” Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh shares a powerful Veterans Day message about service, sacrifice, and what real patriotism means — inspired by Marine Master Sgt. Mike “Top” Washington.

Shout out to Mac @climateboomer.bsky.social and friends with Third Act @thirdactorg.bsky.social for showing up to support veterans. You folks brought some heat on a cold day.

Faces from today’s Veterans Rally at Union Station, DC — different stories, same resolve. Freedom isn’t uniform, and democracy isn’t a solo act. It’s a chorus of conviction, held together by courage and commitment. #VeteransDay #RefuseFascism #VetsAgainstTrump #Photos

Tilt-wall concrete construction and temporary bracing at a developing data center Northern Virginia's data center alley. The 37-acre site—likely owned or contracted by Amazon Web Services (AWS)—sits adjacent to residential housing and utility infrastructure. Autumn, 2025.

New religion and old religion converge.

“So I'll meet you at the bottom if there really is one They always told me when you hit it, you'll know it But I've been falling so long, it's like gravity's gone and I'm just floatin'” Gravity’s Gone ~ Drive-by Truckers A song for people who were relying on the Democratic Party.

They’re built to be overlooked. No signs, no windows, no life. Just walls, cooling towers, and security fences. Monotony is the aesthetic. Sameness is the strategy. A landscape of silence, humming at 400 megawatts. #ColdSteelRail #DataCenterBelt #ArchitectureOfAuthority #DocumentaryPhotography

I spent the day around DC yesterday. Lot's of veterans in town for veterans day. Michiganders in town for the Detroit Lions game against the Commanders. Yet, noticeably fewer MAGA hats than is typical. Is the swamp fever breaking? Is deliberately starving poor people where they draw a line?

The Handmaid’s Army gathered, not as characters in fiction—but as witnesses to a present unraveling. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, their message was clear: when rights are stripped and voices silenced, resistance becomes a moral imperative. #TheHandmaidsArmy #DCProtest #VisualStorytelling
