Whose brilliant idea was it for #Trump to go to a restaurant in occupied #WashingtonDC??? These people really are delusional.

Watch the people give him the "welcome" he deserves. Buddy shoulda settled for cold hamberders at the White House.

Ordinary people with phone cameras, first aid kits, and some courage are patrolling the streets of #WashingtonDC at night and fucking life up for #ICE. No special skills or equipment needed, just the spine to resist.

Yes, it makes a big difference in ways the article discusses in full. We are fighting cowardly morons. Ordinary people just have to stand up-- we are stronger, and we are the great majority of the country.

"Exclusive − Trump doesn't want long-term occupation of American cities, Vance says"

Translation:

"Whoops, this has been a complete clusterfuck. We thought Americans in LA and DC would roll over and die. After all, that's what we would do! How were we to know? 😭 Now the sandwich guy is a national hero and we look dumber than ever."

A bunch of veterans ran off #ICE at Union Station, and then educated the #NationalGuard about their right and duty to refuse illegal orders. Now there is also no National Guard presence at the station. These #veterans say they will continue their sit ins across the city until all federal forces are out of #WashingtonDC.

Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent:

It was a sharp rebuke to the prosecutors who were assigned to bring charges against those arrested after Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents to Washington.

This was posted on Facebook by the owner of the boardgame shop where @V and I met and have spent many of our happiest times. As a fourth-generation Washingtonian who grew up listening to their relatives' stories of the Klan's march on Washington, the Bonus Army, the King assassination riots, and the "Murder Capital USA" era, I know #WashingtonDC has survived much worse than this, and I know it deserves so much better. #FreeDC

Every Sunday in the summer, at Freedom Plaza, there’s the twilight Milonga a la Libertad, filled with people dancing tango in the open air. It’s free to participate, and tourists often stop to watch a bit.

So, when we say that #WashingtonDC is filled criminals — it’s no exageration. DC is filled to overbrimming with criminals, because it’s still filled to overbrimming with #BabyBoomers.

Why are there so many boomers in Congress the article asks?
Gee … I dunno??? Higher levels of sociopathy, perhaps?
Here’s the stats:

Are you coming to DC for World Pride? Do you dance tango? (Or want to give it a try?) We will be hosting a milonga the night before the Pride Parade.


Be Here Queer! Tango Milonga

Friday, June 6th, 2025

8 to 11:30pm


Join the DC Queer Tango Collective and the Cultural Arts Center and Visual and Performing Arts Department of Montgomery College for a night of social tango dancing, with live tango music! We'll get started with a beginners' queer tango dance class at 7pm, followed by dancing from 8 to 11:30pm. Everyone is welcome to our queer-centered space. We gather to celebrate, in joy and community, and we dance to honor those who have fought for, and continue to fight for, safe and inclusive dance spaces. DJ Alicia Michelle will spin the tango tunes, and we will be joined by tango music duo Arco & Aire, Heyni Solera on bandoneon and Max Wollam-Fisher on the cello.


Everything is free of charge and will take place at the beautiful Dance Studio (CU205) of the Montgomery College Takoma Park Campus, 7995 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland.


See you there!
