At press conference MPD says lone suspect came around corner and immediately started shooting at 2 Natl Guardsmen in a targeted attack. Other nearby Natl Guardsmen came over to subdue the suspect. Unclear who shot the suspect.

Or….not?? Now WVa governor tweeted both tweeting out that there’s conflicting reports on the guardsmen’s life or death. WHY would you post that quickly?

Oh no. Now @nbcwashington.com reporting WVa governor has tweeted that both Natl Guardsmen have died. 😓

When embarrassing your kid doesn’t end when they go off to college. #Thanksgiving

Hard to say this if you consider “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” a Thanksgiving movie but definitely the best one focused on all the different foods all these American families eat at Thanksgiving! ctliotta.medium.com/20-years-on-...

Hot Union Station too early for my bedtime in the single digits this am but this Blue Bottle sweet latte got me though! Will there be no giant Christmas tree for the rifle-toting Natl Guard to take selfies against?? #StarbucksBoycott

When it’s Thursday of a long week and you just hope a really bright necklace and earrings can disguise on Teams that you’re wearing sweatshirt… #WorkFromHome #BusinessCasual

What we all needed today.

This thread….😢🤬 It’s not just the ridiculous premium increases. It’s deductibles of $8K, $9K, $20K And copays for things like asthma inhalers rising from $35 to $300+ #ACA

How on earth are people who are supposed to enroll in the ACA right now for Jan 1 supposed to instead get cash and purchase their own….insurance? Or pay out of pocket for procedures? Why won’t GOP approve subsidies now & work towards something different? Because they don’t care.

WTAF? “In its court filings Friday, Trump’s administration contended that the judge usurped both legislative & executive authority in ordering SNAP benefits to be fully funded. ‘This unprecedented injunction makes a mockery of the separation of powers’ Sauer said” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

How do you spin the press on fighting in court to continue letting millions of Americans-many of whom are children and elderly-starve?? Reporters-how are you not asking Trump repeatedly about using American taxpayer $ to not pay Americans benefits?

If you're looking to help your fellow Americans who don't have enough to eat right now --whether that's due to the gvt having not paid SNAP benefits, being locked-out or DOGE'd employees, or families where ICE kidnapped their breadwinner-- find local food banks/pantries/shelters/and more here ⏬⏬⏬

TRUTH: 25 of 30 states that voted for Trump in 2024 have higher participation in SNAP than the natl average. LIE: Trump says Democrats are "hurting their own people" with SNAP freeze www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

What epic party would so appeal to Everett Kelley, Eleanor Holmes Norton, & Chuck Schumer to convince them to step down so people more in touch with what we want can lead?? Comment below. (Should it be only wrong ideas??) @musicologyduck.bsky.social -please weigh in!!

You know it’s a bad root canal when they give you a bathroom break.

I’m unfairly asking so much of this latte this morning after not nearly enough sleep.

I needed more positive news after catching up on the latest. This helped much-6 different tiny home communities for veterans : vcp.org

Children ripped from their beds, zip-tied, and separated from their parents. It's time to do more than just post - make plans now to join a No Kings rally. If you're in DC, contact @wlgactionnetwork.bsky.social to rally with them. #NoKingsDay #NoKings #resistance

They are really miscalculating if they think special education is a “Democratic program“ that only democratic voters care about. Parents-assemble!

Toronto Pearson Airport: Pros: workout equipment right here! A Starbucks that doesn’t hate the lactose intolerant/vegans like those bastards Tim Horton’s! Cons: Indoor pigeons that get waaaay too close for comfort! #CanadianThanksgiving

My cousins bougie house complete with steam shower is a great place to spend #WorldMentalHealthDay. #CanadianThanksgiving

Loving all the characters in my timeline from this delightful Chicken Jockey to bada$$ antifascist Mexican Frog Wizard in Portland to a retro throwback to Mud Wizard for Climate Change in Germany. The content I’m DEFINITELY on here for!

How does this guy sleep at night??

😡😢 “The arrest was in plain view of dozens of parents and children at the playground and others watching from windows in the school. Many children began crying and asking if they were going to be taken away. Students and teachers from other nearby schools also witnessed the incident.” #FreeDC

You guys where can I find this content that’s not from billionaire/fascist-owned media?? @blackeyed-susie.bsky.social @exsk8pnk.bsky.social @samer.is you know this is the content I can’t quit! wapo.st/4mUKzGX #DMV #DClife

Rapidly becoming the most beloved DC sports team!! Thank you @washingtonspirit.com!!! #FreeDC #HandsOffDC #community #Shutdown

Freaking ridiculous. But yay for bike lane Nazi escape routes!

This is what Americans outside DC don’t realize-we now live under constant surveillance and threat and tension. Soldiers with guns everywhere you walk. Fear every time you see tow trucks bec it means ICE is about to kidnap someone. Starting to film every time you see >1 cop car gathered. #FreeDC

Frickin helicopters. They never stop. #HandsOffDC #FreeDC

Fricking hell! “OMB directed agencies to begin drafting RIF plans that would go beyond standard furloughs, permanently eliminating jobs in programs not consistent with President Donald Trump’s priorities in the event of a shutdown.”

Has anyone seen “Mary Shelley’s Monsters” at the chapel in Congressional Cemetery yet?? #DClife congressionalcemetery.org/event/mary-s...

Battle doomscrolling by sharing 5 favorite dishes in DC: 1) Palak chaat at Rasika 2) Biscuits at St. Anselm 3) lamb cumin noodles at Chiko 4) chicken pot pie poppers at Unconventional Diner 5) gambas al ajillo at Jaleo #DClife #HandsOffDC

A side crime no one is talking about is the apparent lack of character limits on Truth Social. Old conspiracy theorists really need threads instead of uninterrupted black text block o’ crazy.

“Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars. Still more, it should not be used, as it also has been, to transfer government authority from Congress to the President, & thus to reshape the Nation’s separation of powers.” -Elena MF Kagan

Everyone should see this photo from Broadview Detention Ctr in Chicago suburbs of masked goon squad attacking a member of the clergy. #ICE #CivilRights #Resistance

Reason #1573 why I love DC and DC residents: this thread😍 (it ain’t going where you think based on the title.) #DClife #FreeDC #community www.reddit.com/r/washington...

Had no idea Boones had expanded their varietals since my college days. #roadtrip

Can’t be a good sign that the Vietnamese guy doing my shoulder and neck massage during this pedicure said “OMG!!!” 5 times working on my shoulders and scapulas? #worklifebalance

My prediction is a shadow docket ruling with no explanation of how they’ve reconciled the two.

Brilliant! #censorship #autocracy #FCCcensorship #1AM

There’s alllllways a tweet. Or 4.

Once again: if you don’t even know basic facts about how DC functions, even those widely reported, why do you think you should spend your time ignoring your constituents to overrule existing DC laws? #HandsOffDC #FreeDC #TheLastColony

And this is EXACTLY why Congresspeople who know nothing about another jurisdiction should try to throw out the laws and usurp it with their own poorly-informed ideas. If you wont even take the time to learn how crimes are or not prosecuted in DC, stay out of trying to fix it! #HandsOffDC #FreeDC

Think about this-can we not find just this small number of courageous and patriotic folks in Congress or SCOTUS: “Would take less than 10 people in congress or 2 SC justices to stop all this.”

Can you ask really nicely please @mayorbowser.bsky.social for them NOT to patrol with giant guns NEAR schools DURING drop off and pickup???

Yup. If you do not care that your House Democrats voted against rep voted to deny DC residents self government and to override their elected officials’ laws, understand they refuse to stop this Administration. They won’t protect you either. #Resistance #handsOffDC #FreeDC

31 House Democrats voted to strip 710K DC residents of self government. 31 House Democrats sided with the coward GOP not standing up to this Administration. 31 House Democrats chose taxation without representation. 31 House Democrats will sell out their own constituents next. Demand answers.

DC folks-you know what to do with this ratio. Epitome of hypocrisy. #FreeDC #HandsOffDC
