Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

1. Here's the tense moment when USIP outside counsel George Foote comes face-to-face with Kenneth Jackson, the Trump-installed new president of USIP, and the DOGE team. Jackson refuses to shake Foote's hand. “I’m asking the questions, not you,” Jackson says. DOGE staffers won't ID themselves.

Just for fun, here are some images of the same DOGE douche (Justin Fox) at the raid on the US Institute of Peace via the MPD body cam footage I obtained:

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

the world is so fucked but i'm keeping busy with my stupid little bullshit things

does anyone know if we have economy tomorrow

the economy's leitmotif has been reprised in a minor key,,,

press conference where they announce a wartime economy to support the not-war lawlessly not-waged by the department of war and all the journalists just keep asking Hitler what this means for affordability

under Woke 2 the new national anthem will be Owl City’s “Fireflies”

Operation Epic Fury [I slide one foot out from under me and fall on my ass. It's not clear what kind of move I was trying to do]

They can easily afford millions of taxpayer dollars lobster, crab, a $100,000 grand piano and a war that costs $1 billion each day without a clear objective -- but no money for education, health, infrastructure or anything to make American's lives better. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Maybe Trump is trying to quiet quit the war.

WAPO: The President keeps talking about cancelling all elections, but what does he mean?

It's all so clear

Jacked action hero with goon in headlock, in raspy yet firm voice:

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...

There are zero unregistered immigrants in the Epstein Files. There are 27 billionaires in the Epstein Files.

gotta be another way to do this

They truly want you to believe this shit is inevitable and actually better than human endeavor but the one surefire thing that can stop it is not agreeing to the first two things. That’s all! That also means not willingly feeding it. It’s not difficult to avoid using it!

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

Stanley Kubrick had the giant war room table in Dr Strangelove covered in green felt because he wanted the actors to feel like they were gambling away the fate of the world, I'm sure it will go just as well for us in real life

Timeline respite. Cowboy is my favorite person on bluesky. A-woo forever.

The art / The artist

Big Stretch. RT if you agree

starling (seth rogen): if you could take this survey that would be so awesome. i could get out of your hair before this guy's done jacking off. hannibal lecter (danny mcbride): motherfucker that's miggs. me and him are boys, so you better watch yourself. i'm behind this glass cause i ate some dudes

If I had a den it would look like this.

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”

Just walked by a Waymo that is blocking at least 10 cars from leaving a parking garage (took this after I crossed the street) in downtown LA. It’s parked directly in front of the garage exit. No one has any ability to move it. So an entire parking garage is getting backed by an empty car

She had pain at the pump, pump, pump Price like what, what, what

When I said I wanted to live in the 70s I meant more “seeing the Talking Heads at CBGB” and less “learning the taste of gasoline from a siphoning hose.”

this guy loves making down payments on future 9/11s with other people's money

i know the direct analogy is the uss cole and, brother, you and i just got handed the IOU for a whole mess of those too

and notice how he doesn't form a commission to outlaw doing steroids and jacking off

For Americans struggling with high gas prices, remember that you can save money by taking little sips from the gas pump instead of big gulps

Happy Mario day!

man, i don’t know matt at all irl but ive read his stuff for years and let me just say that he’s not someone you lay off he’s someone you get in a bidding war over

The three Alexander brothers were found guilty of sex trafficking and raping women. Now that we know the court system works its time for justice for the Epstein victims. Hold them accountable. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AShKAKFoIQRm...

Why are men so gross, and even grosser in groups? I would have said rich men, but I think poor men would do this shit if they had the means. Also look at all those broke ass men in ICE. I just think we need to try to understand why men are irredeemably disgusting if they can get away with it.

New post! I take an in-depth look at a viral op-ed's dubious math on welfare benefits and Sen. John Kennedy's efforts to define away poverty:
