It's a pleasant Monday morning here on the #CoffeeBearBalcony high above Beautiful Downtown #DupontCircle. #dcwx #wusa9weather. @capitalweather.bsky.social @popville.bsky.social

Good morning. It’s Monday. Have a good week! 09/22/25 @capitalweather.bsky.social

This is moving. Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through. What could have been…

It may not be a sunny Friday but it's the first morning in over a week I've been able to enjoy the Coffee Bear Balcony high above Beautiful Downtown #dupontcircle. #dcwx #wusa9weather @capitalweather.bsky.social @popville.bsky.social

here's today's post: "shh! don’t wake the sleeping fuckwit, presidenting is hard" — Don Snorelone rides again. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

HUGE legal victory: @cycletoronto.bsky.social has won its Charter challenge of the Ford government's legislation requiring removal of Toronto bike lanes! Justice Schabas ruled that the law puts cyclists at increased risk of harm and death which engages the right to life and security of the person.

Motherfucking wind farms…

NEW VIDEO: As the DOJ is collecting sensitive voter data around the country and the GOP ups the stakes with their gerrymandering efforts in Texas, I am concerned what is going on is being overlooked. I lay out my concern and what we need to do now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2E3...

They're not even trying to hide it.

What perfect album came out when you were 16?

SNOPES FACT CHECKS Ozzy Osbourne's Illness Was Not Caused by COVID Vaccine; www.snopes.com/fact-check/o...

And all it took was totally selling out

Is Tulsi Gabbard’s position that Mueller’s separate indictments against 13 Russian individuals/entities and 12 GRU officials for 2016 election interference were false filings? Has any journalist asked her?

Gabbard cannot answer a question about how she can explain why Marco Rubio when he was a senator exonerated Obama of the very things she’s now accusing him of

It's very concerning how budget people refuse to learn lessons. NYC's meltdown 50 yrs ago made painfully clear that cutting $ from transit has major negative effects on the rest of a city's or state's economy. "Savings" are paper tigers that will only make things worse.

"Detroit hustles harder" ain't just a t shirt slogan

Power in West Dupont out again. 19th to 22nd s of circle; w of Conn to 22nd, n to Florida. Current ETR on some of the map reports vary 6p or 9p; others, none. IOW, no idea how long this might last. Pepco says ongoing repair proc. Asks pls conserve to avoid overloading.

Power is out in much, if not all, of Dupont Circle.

The both-sides coverage of the Epstein files is dangerous and should not be sanitized. I started Democracy Docket for times like these when you need accurate news, information and analysis about what’s happening to democracy without any compromises. Support its work today: hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

MAGA is tearing itself apart over the Epstein files. They made big promises to release everything and now, suddenly, it’s all vanished. Even Wired reported that metadata from the jail has been tampered with. Total mess.

Alligator Alcatraz is already infamous for its dangerous and inhumane conditions. Congress must demand access and shut it down.

Watch the full interview with @raskin.house.gov and subscribe to support independent media:

@raskin.house.gov: "With Donald Trump going out on a limb and saying, leave me alone, let's just pretend the whole thing didn't happen, people are asking the question: WHY?"

This does track with other acts of right wing ignorance, "cutting off their noses to spite their faces." Consciously choosing to risk the safety of everyone to "own the libs" must not go without serious legal consequences.

🚨Georgia is ramping up another voter purge. The state just launched an audit targeting people with P.O. boxes, those living in group homes, and even voters over 105 years old. If flagged, voters risk being kicked off the rolls. Keep your vote safe. Read more here:

As a former Child Abuse Prosecutor using the term “pedophile” to describe anyone who doesn’t support MAGA dilutes its meaning and hampers prosecution of real abusers.

The “greening” of Montreal: large curb extensions with street greenery added to Saint-Christophe Street in the Centre-Sud neighbourhood of Montreal (not far from Berri-UQAM). These ones also remove parking and narrow the road near parks.

This should be at least as big a deal as the cover-up of the Epstein files

"Questioning is the way of learning," Encourage your children to ask questions, not to accept existing answers.

🚨 In June 2024, the official Trump campaign “War Room” Twitter account amplified a pledge from Donald Trump to release the Epstein Files.

Reminder: Trump is pushing for crypto legislation to keep lining his own pocket. President Bush's former ethics lawyer says we have never had a president since the Civil War with such a conflict of interest. We should not pass any crypto legislation without shutting this down.

MAHA means you're only allowed to consume eggs produced by hens in battery cages

Trump is LYING about Social Security. “So many people over 65 depend on that Social Security payment to be the difference between living with dignity or living under a bridge.” – Former SSA Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social

Absolutely!

The growth in A-pillars is creating bigger blind spots for drivers. (Some of this can be addressed through technique—you *have* to move your head to check blinds spots.)

Ted Cruz is a walking talking disaster causing machine!

Alina Habba in Feb: “On Epstein, it’s incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, info, names that will come out. There were so many names hidden who had not been held accountable. Now it’s time for accountability. I really believe with Kash and Pam there will be accountability.”

NEW: Just 45 minutes after posting this ⏬ DC911/OUC screwed up another call in a big way. They dispatched a report of a building fire to MLK Avenue SE that was meant for Marion Barry Avenue SE. OUC then made things more chaotic by going back and forth over which location was the correct address.

The @nytimes.com is never going to get it. Harvard was always going to be a Trump target because it's seen by them as an example of the liberal Democratic establishment. Then they retrofitted explanations for their attacks on it, including this China thing.

Blaming @nws.noaa.gov for forecasting crippled by DOGE & Project 2025 budget decimation is like cutting power & gas to a restaurant then complaining about the rotting and uncooked food.

My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating floods across Texas—those who have lost loved ones & those still searching. Many of the impacted families are from right here in Dallas. We’re mourning with you and praying for comfort, healing, & peace in the days ahead. TX-30 stands with you.
