Hey followers!

I think most of you know me from #lawtwitter or #petsoflegaltech.

I post many GIFs, many crimes against food with #whatthefood

I also create social media for The Appellate Project and the Women’s Bar Assn for DC & amplify their awesome work.

Glad you all made it here!

A man giving the camera serious side eye.

A man questioning how and why his favorite dive bar has been invaded by loud singing women.

A man questioning all the choices he made tonight.

It took billionaire-owned @washingtonpost.com nearly 48 hours to report on this story-and then it excluded mention of DOJ’s civil rights head’s X post condemning the decision by her and MAGA replies threatening to rain “hellfire” on her, among other death threats she received.

Loving all the characters in my timeline from this delightful Chicken Jockey to bada$$ antifascist Mexican Frog Wizard in Portland to a retro throwback to Mud Wizard for Climate Change in Germany.

The content I’m DEFINITELY on here for!

Yep. At this point if @mayorbowser.dc.gov is standing up to ICE in any way possible to set boundaries for our kids around their school routes at likely times and being rebuffed, she should speak up.

Otherwise it appears she’s abandoned the children of DC entirely to the fascists for no reason.

A federal agent pepper sprays a demonstrator wearing a frog costume in Portland, Oregon.

The spray was aimed at the air intake valve near the bottom of the costume.

This could have been lethal.

There was no emergency requiring this at school pickup-they INTENTIONALLY CHOSE TO TRAUMATIZE CHILDREN:

“Despite the fact that at least 9 MPD & federal officers participated in the arrest, there
was no sign the young men were armed or posing any threat to those around them.”

Sameena Safdar @sameenasafdar.bsky.social · 3d

😡😢
“The arrest was in plain view of dozens of parents and children at the playground and others watching from windows in the school.

Many children began
crying and asking if they were going to be taken away.

Students and teachers from other nearby schools also witnessed the incident.”

Because today’s newspapers = cowardly appeasing administration toadies?

I think “Did you really just say that?” would work better than “did you really mean that?”

Nothing on @reuters.com. Nothing on @washingtonpost.com.
Didn’t see it with @nytimes.com.
Or on @cnn.com.

Yup. Once During Trump I, my kids and I played a game of who could correctly guess how many F$&k Trump tags we’d see on the MBT (just from its beginning at NOMA to Dew Drop Inn.

They can try but they’ll never suppress our rebellion & free speech & gogo. This is DC!

Does D.C. have any good delis? An NYC restaurant critic came to find out.

We went in search of the region’s best pastrami on rye with a famous — and very opinionated — New York deli expert.
