People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

Did it happen around daylight savings time? Does he not respect the falling back hour?

The best Ethiopian food in the country. So many good places around the city. Plus The Green Zone’s Saz’iraq - a Middle Eastern twist on the sazerac is possibly my fav cocktail anywhere.

16th Street in NW DC, the road filled with demonstrators carrying signs and marching, with the trees of Malcolm X Park visible in e background.

It was just block after block of people coming from Malcolm X Park headed downtown. Lots of energy despite the heat, and cheers from passersby, as well as church bells ringing in support.

forgive me if this is stating the obvious but the reason they quote Rufo so much is bc they agree with him

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

OMB's Russell Vought, the Christian 'nation-ist' driving Project 2025 and DOGE WASHINGTON (RNS) — The director of the US budget has declared that Christians should be 'stewards of a blessing that has been God-given: to live in this land, this particular land.'

NEW from me: A deep dive into OMB Director Russell Vought — specifically, how his plan to reshape the government is rooted in a specific ideology: Christian nationalism.

Also, his favorite religious quote from an early president may be, uh…not true. religionnews.com/2025/06/23/r...

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.

They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.

And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

The chaos Elon Musk and Doge are leaving behind in Washington Though Musk promised modernization and efficiency, what’s left is a trail of uncertainty and reduced functionality

"Former 18F director Lindsay Young ... is concerned that Doge’s cuts will have long-lasting effects on government functions. 'In government, it’s just so much easier to tear things down than it is to build things up,' Young said." @not-young.bsky.social

yes. they literally blame higher education for a social order that doesn’t give unquestioned deference to people like themselves

the reason why these people believe in “the woke mind virus” and think of others as “NPCs” is because they have literally fried their brains in private group chats with people who share the same half dozen opinions

This is a bold-faced lie. Direct File exceeded expectations & their report from last year (link below) has the receipts.

Users reported filing took them about an hour, and some only 30min.

about 90% of culture war grievances is literally just people with nothing happening in their lives getting mad that other people are not as unhappy as they are

If you are actively culling your library to keep books like "The Bell Curve" while removing criticisms of the book, you are building a white supremacist library.

A Black man won the presidency and they decided to burn the entire country to the ground so it won’t be something worth winning anymore.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

i may be unserious, hysterical and woke, but my strategy of “taking trump seriously no matter how insane he sounds” has paid more analytical dividends than the alternatives

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again
