I cannot stress enough that some of the most powerful people on the planet have been captured by a worldview that is fundamentally anti-human

First night

Our neighbor brought us this #lostdog on Wednesday night and she's such a sweetie. I know pitbulls get a bad rap (for good reason), but I still love 'em, and I hope this one finds her way back home soon—or to a new forever home where someone else will love her, too! petcolove.org/lost/pet/fou...

We picked up petitions today to get @salimadofo.bsky.social on the ballot for the July 15 special election! Let's put this good man on the city council, y'all. He is more than ready to represent #Ward8DC. #WeAreWard8 #BlackHistoryMonth More info: www.salimforward8.com

I just watched an ad for #stemcelltherapy that hailed its ability to improve an old man's golf game. I know it's life-changing #biotech for treating diseases like blood disorders, but if #forprofithealthcare runs off and turns it into a full-body boner bill for rich boomers I'm gonna be so pissed.

This is how the ultra wealthy cut their taxes without cutting their taxes. Oh, but they are also cutting their taxes. And raising *our* taxes. And raising the prices they charge us for rent, food, and medicine. But sure, let's blame poor people, immigrants, liberals... www.salon.com/2024/12/27/q...

A #Christmas gift for my father-in-law, an avid golfer, so he can safely vent any desire to whack his daughters' less-than-nice ex-boyfriends with a nine iron club. Each ball has all their names on them—even the nice ones. (Oops!) #ToxicMasculinity

#DCMetro is feeling festive, apparently. While we're having fun, can we also get more actual investments in the public transit system and working class of our nation's capital? Fare evasion and ridership issues are symptoms of deeper problems in our community that can't be painted over. #WeAreWard8
