Yes. We took a lot for granted as Bethesda kids in the 80s / 90s. So much has been lost!

This is so depressing. The Kennedy Center, the Washington Post, USAID, Voice of America… the casualties of DC institutions just keep growing. (Not to mention the White House East Wing)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

This is my story too. So shameful.

I grew up in the Maryland suburbs of DC; the WaPo arrived at our house every morning, and I read it from the time I was in elementary school. The destruction of an institution with such a storied history by its dilettante owner is a true shame.

When I was a DC intern, one of the greatest privileges I had was being able to put a quarter in a vending machine and get an entire Washington Post—a great institution with a distinctive voice. Later, I was privileged to write for it. I’m sad now.

Here’s another good piece: www.minnpost.com/metro/2026/0...
Mothers of resistance: PTA members organize Minneapolis relief efforts
Fox called them ‘wine moms.’ But for longtime volunteers, rides to school for frightened kids was a natural first step. Then came food, diapers, rent.

The role of moms in Minneapolis organizing needs to be discussed more (here’s one example). www.vogue.com/article/moms...
Moms Are Organizing Against ICE in Their Group Chats
Mom groups have been a hot topic in 2026. But instead of interpersonal drama, these moms are focused on grassroots organizing, information sharing, and mutual aid.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

My favorite picture from today. If you zoom into the yellow sign on the bottom it says “The weather is brutal. ICE is worse”. Proud to stand with so many Minnesotans.
