I can't bring myself to go downtown anymore. The fucking banners, the destruction of the East Wing, the Reflecting Pool - all of it. The National Guard.

people don't know about the banners. they don't know his fucking face is everywhere downtown

I love DC, worked there, used to walk 30k+ steps a day when I visited and I refuse to go back until he's out and they've torn down the fencing. My daughter is at the age where she will start appreciating what DC has to offer, too, and I can't do it.

I have to admit that I find taking Metro depressing. For years now.

And there’s a million other ways DC is under attack, from bills Congress is introducing to agency action. For more info on this follow @freedcproject.bsky.social

And I just saw this about attacks on schools that harm DC: “Fallout from the new Head Start proposals continues (as my friend reminded me, it's been a rough week for everyone in the [child ed] space). This is part of the Trump playbook…”

“If there's a program [they want to kill] that needs Congressional approval to get rid of, their first play is to gut the program, revoke its regs, and attack its funding.” So it’s not just science. We talk about science because it’s easy to explain. (Cutting cancer research affects us all.)
