A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle.

Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

And what was the charge exactly??? Domestic terrorism?

Everyone should be doing this, perfect public ridicule for these goons

Did the thin-skinned guardsmen have their little feelings hurt?

Things like this keep happening.

It's almost like you have to fight for our votes like everyone else. Yes, we, especially Black women, tend to vote for harm reduction either way. But it's so much better when we're voting for someone instead of against someone. We're more likely to donate and volunteer. Too many take us for granted.

BREAKING: Former special counsel Jack Smith asks to testify in open hearing. @nicollewallace.bsky.social reports.

She's such a dolt.

I think he's projecting again...🙄

She's my hero!💙

A thing about the east coast is that even the women are gonna hand you your ass on a platter. The blow up costumes are nice but we do it different over here.

Polka dot is just out there tussling with ICE on her lunch break.

🙄

😎🌵🪴 well yeah, apparently we do summarily execute people

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Donald Trump is tearing down the fucking White House…and no one will stop him. This is a dictatorship.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?

Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

Maybe he's really building an extended bunker below.

Now I want to see the memes!

Glad ICE is getting called out for plate swapping in Illinois, but this has been happening in California from the jump.

“…ask him why it is that Joe Biden ‘beat’ Obama in every single Swing State with the Black Vote in 2020, even though Black Voters hate him, in no other State? THE 2020 ELECTION WAS AN ILLEGAL SCAM/HOAX THAT THE PEOPLE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY WILL NEVER FORGET!”

A middle finger to erasure.

More of this, please. Now do Black Lives Matter!

Judging by the numbers that counter-protested on Saturday, I would say the scales may be starting to tip. 🙏

So the billionaire president with the billionaire cabinet supported by billionaires gives tax cuts an sweetheart deals to billionaires and tears down the White House to build a billionaire ballroom while making food and healthcare unaffordable for everyone else? And half America is ok with that?

One of my friends with long COVID has COVID again and I feel awful for her. Has she been perfect with avoiding infection? No. But she shouldn't have to be, WE shouldn't have to be. Imagine if as a city, state, country we had prioritised clean air and normalised staying at home when sick. (1/2)
