Guess who’s working in on a Sunday in DC during a government shutdown? The guy restoring the statue of Confederate general & alleged KKK goon Albert Pike, damaged during BLM protests. Also the US Park Police guarding him. PRIORITIES.

(Also, screenshot is from the John Oliver takedown, which is well worth watching.)

So many things to discover and rediscover at the fabulous NMAAHC. Today, am particularly moved by this homemade case to protect freedom papers—as immigrants today in DC and elsewhere have similar worries about carrying and protecting papers.

Summary of Minot ND attractions, per my brother, visiting a friend. He’s genuinely excited to be there—unclear if there’s fishing involved.

Online @nytimes softens this headline by using "Disquiet" instead of "Fear," a ridiculous understatement that appears to be a pattern in Trump coverage, even if the articles themselves are fine. Do MAGAts only read headlines? A disservice to other readers regardless. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/u...

Did someone at the Newark Street courts think "commemorative bench" meant a mausoleum? What else could explain this DIY cement structure (with sunglasses)?
