Another reason to mask at protests, aside from COVID safety and protection from doxxing, is that a lot of responsible documenters don't want to publish protesters' faces (esp without their consent) right now. Your face being in a shot may prevent people from sharing a worthwhile image publicly.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Some relief for D.C.: A new revenue estimate from the city's CFO shows that revenue for the fiscal year ending tonight is $208 million higher than expected, and revenue for the 2026 fiscal year will be up $289 million. Plenty of folks expected the estimate to be negative.

Birdsong by Julie Flett is one of my absolute favorite books. I love it so much. My daughter used to love it when I read it to her. It's about a sweet relationship between a girl and her elderly neighbor.
