I would like this administration to stop generating painfully apt metaphors

4th of July in front of the White House in 100*F heat

DC is, flatly, owed statehood after what they have been through under this man to make sure this shit never happens again

Lafayette Square at the White House has been closed since January for a $17.4 million renovation with a no-bid contract. In 2022, the Biden admin. had estimated $3.3 million for the renovation. Tues. they took down the tall fence & replaced it with a shorter one. Weds. the tall fence was back. .

I just walked around the National Mall area in DC and there sure are a lot of fences & military enforcement to “celebrate” 250 years of our “freedom”. Having the entire National Mall fenced off is a logistical nightmare for families trying to get to the museums in the heat, too.

Today at the Supreme Court.

On the National Mall.

Happy Pride Parade day in DC! A quote I heard today from a wise person: if the Trump fans “believe the things they say they do, they should be worried about going to hell for the way they treat trans people.”

Lots of Parks service people working on the still green Reflecting Pool today- using more of our tax dollars to clean up the sloppy work of the $14 million no-bid contract we paid for. Nat’l Guard & Police stood where the paint was peeling to arrest folks who tried to take paint chips.

View from the front of the White House, taken from 16th Street during UFC weekend

Protested outside the UFC fight area, as fans arrived. 3 take aways: 1) Trump used millions of our tax dollars on security 2) UFC fans are different from MAGA. Many gave a thumbs up when they saw my sign about releasing the Epstein files 3) No mainstream U.S. media, but plenty of foreign media.

They tried to hide but I got em anyway

More footage of what seems like the moment when they took the letters down as best as anybody there could tell

folks, they’re calling the tarp “the white flag of surrender”

Crowd chants “TAKE IT DOWN” as the clock strikes midnight

Far more people supportive of my sign than MAGAs at the White House this evening, on the eve before UFC weekend

trumpsonian.us/rr There’s still time to visit Trump/Epstein Files Memorial Reading Room (through Sunday) at 737 7th Street NW, next to the Chinatown Metro stop.

See a display of Epstein files, art by an abuse survivor, a timeline of the Trump-Epstein entanglement and send a birthday card to Trump!

Checked out the #86theArch vigil yesterday, which is behind the Lincoln Memorial and going through Tuesday, May 26. I can’t make it out today but organizers will be protesting Trump this morning along his motorcade route when the draft dodger dares to show his face at Arlington National Cemetery.

Thank you for posting this. I’m worried that many people don’t realize how serious a blow the Supreme Court dealt to our democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act this month.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

Demonstrating at the Supreme Court today.

We need someone to teach a constitutional law class called “The Slippery Slope” to show how the Supreme Court chipped away, and chipped away, at abortion rights, voting rights and other rights of people disfavored by the GOP before finally doing away with them altogether.

We're raising funds to get my friend Nadine safely out of the U.S. before the Trump admin. targets her. Nadine is the protester who inspired and mentored me in my protesting. Please help support her, if you can. No amount is too small. Thank you! www.gofundme.com/f/WarriorGod...

We had a jolly protest against Elon Musk today at the Tesla dealership in Georgetown, DC. Come on out every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.! My goodness, Elon looks just like Hitler in this photo!

I’m grateful to editor Sharon Darrow for including my poem about the dismantling of the White House Peace Vigil in this anthology. THE COUNTRY IN THE MIRROR: POEMS OF PROTEST AND WITNESS includes poems from nearly 90 poets — some famous, some new. Available wherever you buy books.

More of this, please! And May the Fourth be with you! 😎

A new Kansas law greatly impedes trans peoples’ access to the polls. “It is making it unsafe for trans people to even be in Kansas,” says the chair of the Kansas Democratic Party’s LGBTQ caucus.
