Maybe also call your elected folks and ask them to push for a stop work order and permit review!

Shady developers demolish buildings when they know they’re violating historic building codes and won’t get approval for what they want to do. And once the building is gone, it’s gone.

So yeah, about that East wing…

Your foot hovers over the step, hesitant, unwilling to move closer. You take each one, one by one, and there, at the bottom, just as your toe touches the dark, something brushes past. 🧵

You stare into the thick dark, just beyond your safe bright circle. The bag slips, the plastic pulls painfully at your fingernails. In the dark, the trash cans clatter, unseen and untouched by you.

A spooky month memento mori. 🧵

It’s out there - the heavy, clinging dark. It rustles and chirps. It presses expectantly at the edges of the weak circle of light on the stoop, bits of it sneaking in behind traitorous tufts of grass in the dirt. You clutch a plastic bag of trash in your clammy hand.

Today I’m urging you to contact your officials and ask them to fight for first amendment protections, and write to Disney and ask them to stand up to the administration, and whatever else you can think of to do. Look, Tucker Carlson is even speaking up about this. Yeesh.

Not abridging free speech: When public outcry and pressure leads to a network firing a talk show host becaus of their comments on air.

Abridging free speech: when the chairman of the FCC strong arms a network into removing a talk show host because he made a joke about the president on air.

Good Thursday! The eve of the weekend! The home stretch! (Did you stretch today? Do it.)

Y’all, I don’t have much else to say except that you should go and make your voice a loud one today. There are shenanigans afoot.

Legit the best dumb idea we’ve ever had. DragonCon was amazing as a result.

Call your local and state reps and demand they not comply with ICE.

All of us together make up a powerful force against tyranny. Stand together and fight.

This weekend there will be protests. Show up and speak up.

It is essential that you call your officials and tell them to fight the budget bill, which expands funding for ICE, adds trillions to the deficit, and cuts vital services for millions of Americans.

Fight it. Donate to orgs doing the work. Call every day. 🧵

You know what it looks like? It looks like British occupation of colonial American cities, and the very basis for our declaration of independence. It is essential that you fight back. 🧵
