I warned you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cursed to (be a) Know-It-All. DMV latchkey kid not obeying in advance. Irritated optimist against fascism. Poor mans wonk. F bombs galore. RSkeets + rumination

Aren’t they all about “traditional marriage”?

This is another DEEPLY unpopular thing to do. Pew polling back in March says of the 51% of Americans that support deporting “some” immigrants, only 5% would include those with U.S. citizen spouses. My guess is the numbers are even lower now.

Hey @51st.news you all should cover local efforts to push WJLA ABC affiliate to bring back #Kimmel. The dc reddits are on fire 🔥

Better yet, call to complain!!! They open at 9am, let’s make the phones ring off the hook.

Here are some numbers to start with at the station.

We can also watch to see who their local advertisers are and call them to ask them to pull from the station until they bring back #Kimmel #SinkSinclair

Trying to be hopeful. Also just bc this happened one way in one place doesn’t mean we are absolutely doomed to repeat the entire time period. Not if we can really learn this lesson from history.

I haven’t heard a single person say Heather Heyer’s name in this entire conversation and that makes me sad. She was a hero, killed for her constitutional right to assemble peaceably, in one of the first acts of fatal political violence by the white nationalist MAGA movement.

the vast majority of all Americans across political divides believe it is ALWAYS UNACCEPTABLE to “celebrate” or “be happy about” the death of a political opponent.

So that “data” Vance is quoting is from a poll taken around the time of rumored DL death + that didn’t use the term “murder” 🙄

A great read on how Einstein was so radical Hoover sent the FBI after him.

May I recommend some reading for the men and the media of Bluesky?

Caveats abound, it’s a ton of essays, I don’t co sign every single one, it was written 30 years ago etc. but as a starter for ppl who have not encountered this term or idea or are struggling to articulate it, it’s a decent start.

Real talk, I’ve basically done this except with Class Struggle 🤷🏻‍♀️😆🤭

More street art resistance, in tony upper NW. Seems inspired by our Florida comrades who did this after their local MAGA officials painted over the one in front of the Pulse night club. Seeing a LOT more #DC flags flying as well around town. #FreeDC

Ppl, why does any business with the Trump name have anything less than a 0 rating? This seems like a fun weekend internet group project doesn’t it?

Seen around #DC today in targeted neighborhoods.

Wheat paste poster art from the early aughts (the 2001 anti corporate globalization protests that never happened bc 9-11) by #DC artist activist Mike Flugennock.

I like this image better than the one of her crying. Feel free to use (with credit to Mike always ofc) #FreeDC

Tell me again about the “crime emergency” in #DC?
August 26, 2025 at 10:14 PM
They are literally refighting the Civil War. And the Confederacy has occupied the capital. Ppl should be organizing Freedom Rides to DC. Flood the zone. #FreeDC #USDemocracy
