Hey all, if I follow you it's b/c I like what you're doing. If I don't get a follow back in a reasonable time, I often unfollow b/c I assume you're not interested in my stuff. If you follow me I try to follow back.

Wandered all around Ward 1 tonight. 🧊 ⌚️

A beautiful mural on the side of a building of large plants and flowers, including cacti, and a dark-haired girl looking out a window and watering the plants with a watering can.

A sign posted up on a tree by 16th St that says, “ICE Abducted Someone Here.”

A banner in front of a building that says, “FREE DC.” The banner is faded and worn.

A red “Free DC” lawn sign in front of someone’s house in Ward 1. If you look carefully to the left, you can see a cat. The cat thinks ICE is a modern day Gestapo.

Mike Johnson has spent hours insisting he can swear Grivalja in any time, geez, guys what’s all the fuss about, when he could, you know, just swear her in.

Line them up.

Every Senator, every Governor, every representative and government official.
Make them swear an oath to the Constitution — again. On camera.
Not to a man. Not to a King. Not to a party.
To the people.

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

Hallucinations
appear like
an endless film
that makes no sense
Food stacked high on a table
A feast to feed a hundred
hungry needy souls
Marauding Ants
traipse over the food
and clocks melt
as time has no meaning
and hands reach out
to touch me

If you're going to No Kings tomorrow, leave the bear spray, weapons, and zip ties at home - this isn't a Republican event.

I know! Let’s raise tariffs and healthcare costs, too! That should help make things affordable! 🙄

A tweet from Barchart reads: “U.S. Housing Market has reached its most unaffordable level in history” followed by two siren emojis. Below the text is a chart titled “U.S. Home Price History: 1890 to 2025,” showing inflation-adjusted home prices over time. The line graph tracks steady or moderate fluctuations from 1890 through the 1990s, then a steep rise leading to the 2006 housing bubble, a sharp drop afterward, and a dramatic spike again reaching a new peak labeled “2025 Bubble.” The chart indicates that 2025 marks the highest inflation-adjusted home price index in recorded history.
