Jaysus. Drove friend in town down to Haines Point to see the destruction. I don’t even golf and I cried to see it. So many Washingtonians golfing biking and running down here today around all the destruction.

Funniest thing I’ve seen here all week. Especially being from St. Louis and knowing what the state is like outside STL, KC & Columbia! I can’t even choose the funniest comment!

maybe there is some obscure requirement that you have to have 19th century facial hair to hold the office

Damnit. It was so warm this morning, I wore a summer dress and open toed shoes tonight when I really needed boots. And a raincoat

Please share this widely!! Andy Harris lashed out at a reporter asking tough questions just after lashing out at a voter asking questions. Both times he claimed they violated laws they did not to try to shut them down. Why is this guy representing anyone in Congress?

Baltimore Banner@thebaltimorebanner.com

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

After years of him interfering in and denying DC residents’ rights to things they voted for (legalized marijuana sales, gun restrictions, death with dignity, Medicaid funded abortion, gay marriage, etc)… You love to see it! #DCStatehood #TheLastColony

Being “angry as fuck” is not enough anymore. This administration is growing more and more bold, fascist, authoritarian every day. Until you start throwing them in jail, they’re not going to stop. apple.news/ANkF8OrYHRdq...

usatoday.comWhat on earth happened to the Kennedy Center?It was founded as an "artistic mecca" and inspired American pride for years. Now the Trump administration says it's falling apart and needs to close.

Did you know President Eisenhower pushed to build the Kennedy Center? www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Redditors reporting more extensive fencing around the Kennedy Center now that’s guarded. I’m watching @normeisen.bsky.social’s feed for news on the response to their motion. bsky.app/profile/norm...

BREAKING: We have updated the Court with the latest developments in Trump's apparent moves to demolish the Kennedy Center The EXISTING INJUNCTION prevents demolition The Court has ordered the government to say what the hell it is doing by 10 AM @repbeatty.bsky.social, DDA & WLG will fight this!

Why can’t reporters ask Trump about desecrating the memory of Kennedy and a memorial to him? If he hates JFK? If he’s talked to the Kennedy family about this? #KenCen

You guys. Is it normal for the ABA president and president elect to attend an affinity bar assn’s annual conference? Happy to see this. We need to all work together now. To fight erasure. To fight attempts to criminalize people for who they are and who they love or where their parents were born.

Soooo excited-Judge Ana Reyes is the keynote speaker. She was Women’s Bar Assn of DC’s 2017 Woman Lawyer of the Year! And she is the first Latina and LGBT judge in DC! And is she the only judge with her dog in her official photo?? #RepresentationMatters

This is a fascinating and detailed article about the link between styles pushed on women and the link to authoritarianism or fascism.

The Washington Sun Perspectives@washsunperspect.bsky.social

Since the start of the second Trump administration, there has been a lot of chatter about “Mar-a-Lago face.” But historically, if you want to know where politics is headed, a better guide has been the constriction of women’s waists, argues Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson.

LAST UPDATE: I am finally taking adhd meds today, 18 days after they were prescribed!! I cannot recommend Pill Plus Pharmacy at Van Ness metro enough!! The nicest people. They answer the phone! They deliver! I might be done with CVS forever.

Sameena Safdar@sameenasafdar.bsky.social

ANOTHER UPDATE: my dr expressed surprise that I often have trouble getting the meds filled & assured me there was a Walgreens not far from me where her DC patients have no trouble getting rx filled. Just now I get a text that my prescription has been sent to a specialty pharmacy in Van Ness.

It feels Sysiphean & cruel ADHD-afflicted to get meds in the US: playing phone tag with CVS to find out its backordered & CVS won’t check stock of other locations, your dr saying they’ll send it elsewhere but wont find where its in stock, following up to see if dr submitted mail order script
