Also, the air quality this evening is going to be extremely bad. Air quality often goes to pretty dangerous after normal fireworks displays. This is 50 times as much. NPS suggests an N95 if outside. Also set AC to Recirculate.

Today's March is on but is shortened because of the extreme heat. Please remember to bring lots of water and salty snacks and maybe an umbrella definitely a hat see the images for further information. Insta in comments.

The Justice Department has announced the creation of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate people who “suffered weaponization and lawfare” as part of its settlement with President Trump. Our tax dollars paying people for treason, let that sink in. www.cnn.com/2026/05/18/p...

We'd love to have folk join us in DC tomorrow, but also here's an online counterprogramming others have planned, available everywhere!

50501 DC@50501dc.bsky.social

If you're following along from home, here's an online counter programming, complete with live stream! Rededicate250.org

Near DC?Join us tomorrow at 7th st & the Mall pretty much any time (the taxpayer funded Christian Nationalist Jubilee thing is all day). If you're not near DC, make some digital or yard sign noise (more below) to remind folk that here in the US of A we have Separation Of Church And State. 1/

View full thread

4/ Not in DC (or also in DC) and wanna make your own yard signs fast and, um, cheaper than usual? CVS is usually 45 but now $29 til May 23. Here's graphics. If they're too compressed let us know.

2/ here's All Things Considered about tomorrow's Rededicate event. The title buries that many of these speakers are Dominionist / Christian Nationalist. Looking up some of their quotes is . . . illuminating. www.npr.org/2026/05/15/n...

npr.orgThe White House is planning a big prayer event. Almost all the speakers are ChristianAs the White House prepares for a prayer event tied to the nation's 250th anniversary, some question why the lineup is almost entirely Christian.

3/ Look for folk at 7th and the Mall, which is where the pedestrian entrance is for this event that closes off a huge portion of the Mall. We've made yard signs! (Yay CVS Sale!) Bring posters, with Church/State themes. (The stage is down by 12th, but there's essentially walls.)

At this point there's not even an attempt to pretend neutrality (see the voting cases).

Justice Samuel Alito has fossil fuel stocks making up nearly a quarter of his personal investment portfolio. And he just voted to put a major climate accountability case on the Supreme Court’s docket after recusing himself from virtually identical cases for the exact same reason.

As we sip margaritas & eat tacos in celebration of Mexico’s victory on Cinco de Mayo, let’s also remember the civil war we’re putting our immigrant neighbors in today. As we basked in guacamoles’ glorious flavor, let’s not forget the cultures children we keep locked in Dilley concentration camp.

The war in Iran has quietly started a new constitutional crisis. On May 1, the war crossed the 60 day threshold imposed by the War Powers Act of 1973. Any military conflict, regardless of semantics over calling it a war or not, requires Congressional authorization after 60 days. So what can we do?

It looks like some Democrats are preparing to help the GOP reauthorize a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens. Zero Democrats should vote to allow the regime to gobble up mass surveillance data to punish Trump’s enemies and round up immigrants.
