A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle.

Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They don’t even bother denying the corruption and grift.
Q: On the pardon of Changpeng Zhao, Binance has significant business interests with World Liberty Financial, the president family's crypto company. How do you respond to criticisms that this is a corrupt act?

LEAVITT: I would respond and say the president is exercising his constitutional authority
only the best people. Terrifying.
"nearly half..." ???

it's an open book test.

He's doing to the White House what Osama bin Laden wanted to do, and we're all supposed to just sit there and watch?

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.
Holy shit is right. It's actually hard to believe! See my repost of the Rosie the Resister piece on Substack about how a narcissistic personality disordered person responds to a perceived injury....(the injury having been the HUGE No Kings protests on Saturday)....#AmericanTragedy
Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."
Powerful piece by Bouie…definitely worth a read!
BOUIE: “.. he is working as hard as possible to divide this country against itself. But if we can take any sign from the public’s escalating response.. it is that Trump just may, in the end, remind Americans of the vital power of acting together ..”

If this is an accurate view of how “most Americans” feel re Trump, we need 2 find a way 2 convince a lot more of thm 2 do more than think that way, 2 start getting active in opposition so our movement can grow significantly bigger until it’s absolutely overwhelming & the authoritarian govt collapses
Maybe we should do something
Most Americans agree: Trump is a dictator destroying the country www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Pitching mass deportation and ethnic cleansing as male bonding, all tinged with mythic nostalgia.
Can you imagine that this is an ICE recruitment poster?
It’s like “why sit around on your sofa w/your wife nagging you every two minutes when you can sit in comfort in a van big enough for friends? You’ll get a mask, a gun, & your very own “illegal” so you can feel superior & secure in your ride.”

This is a big deal… my congressman has been in DC for 24 years and hasn’t held a Townhall since 2012.

His rural constituents are standing up.

Pretty clear that Trump is building a private club at the White House, a northern Mar-a-Lago, where the price of admission will be bribes in the tens of millions of dollars.
“The good news is this means that the next Democratic inhabitant of the White House can demolish the Trump Presidential Palace Ballroom and Casino and restore the East Wing and the rest of the White House grounds to their pre-Trump state.”

We Will Tear Down the Trump Palace Ballroom and Casino
Thinking like a dissident movement.

Horrifying.
He is saying the loud part out loud! Democrats should never have the chance to win a free and fair election!
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."
Here’s a tiny piece of good news, folks! Peanut allergies in kids have plunged since recent, fact based scientific advice that infants/toddlers be exposed to peanuts early in life have been followed…another example of how real science helps save lives & increase overall health. #ScienceSavesLives

Can’t be soon enough. This is so horrendous, it’s hard to believe it’s really happening. How can Repubs in Congress remain silent? HAS to b the invasion of the body snatchers….they’ve all become pods w no souls. No other explanation makes sense!!!
" I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people -- and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!"
Good to see Europe starting to stand up. So critically important, given the insanity of our current president. To think tht The NY Times couldn’t run enough stories re Biden’s age & alleged “deterioration,” while Trump’s craziness passes by daily w nary a word. #TellTheTruth #DoTheRightThing
This is being repeated around the country. It’s horrendous. Agents laugh in the faces of those showing their passports or green cards, saying, “they’re probably fake!” And they take them anyways. My God…
“.. they are just grabbing people, putting them in cuffs,” said Kaden Cummings, 23, who witnessed the arrests. “Nobody’s identifying themselves .. There’s no due process .. It’s just straight to the back of a van if you’re African on Canal.”
