I want to stop paying taxes to this deeply stupid government. Anti-wokeness is anti-reality. Anti-wokeness is anti-rule-of-law. Anti-wokeness is anti-democracy. Anti-wokeness is pro-death.

Veterans marched to the Capitol this weekend to remind Congress, service members, and veterans of their oath to the Constitution, which they swore to protect against both foreign and domestic enemies. Let’s stand firm and uphold our values!

Update: In 3 recent editorials, WaPo failed to disclose owner Jeff Bezos's interest in the matter under discussion.

WaPo added one disclosure after @bgrueskin.bsky.social called it out.

Two weeks after my story, the other two editorials still have none. And the paper still won't say why
'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties
Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson just told us that the SNAP funds were indeed stolen without telling us. 🧐🤬🤔

This is good, and should actually make us feel better.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because she’s playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. 👀

What is the matter with the @nytimes.com ?
thejenniwren.teamlh.social Jennifer C @thejenniwren.teamlh.social · 21d
The @nytimes.com fails again. This headline completely misrepresents Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s temporary order which is saving SNAP from the Trump regime completely obliterating it in the future.

No wonder Americans stopped watching/reading the news.

Trust independent journalists.

STATEMENT OF SIDNEY REID This verdict shows that this administration and their peons are not able to invoke fear in all citizens I am just one woman, one human, one citizen of DC disgusted by this reality that we are forced live in. I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man. He's a crazy person who's in charge of the most powerfu nation. Knowing that I can stand in front of 12 of my fellow citizens and be found not guilty for standing up for basic human rights makes me feel like, despite the scary times we live in, we have hope for the future. STaTEMENT OF COUNSEL. TEZirA abe and EuGenE OHM We are pleased with the verdict but this is a trial that should never have happened. Twelve D.C residents, numerous taxpayer-paid court staff and public defenders had to spend time anc resources on trying a case that has no place in a free democracy. This case is a warning from the Department of Justice that they will have the backs of ICE goons, even when three grand juries reject their baseless charging decisions. And though we're pleasec with the result, Ms. Reid cannot get back the two nights she spent in jail because ICE wanted to teach her a lesson. The Department of Justice can continue to take these cases to trial to suppress dissent and to tr and intimidate the people. But in the end, as long as we have a jury system, our citizens wil continue to rebuke the DOJ through speedy acquittals

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

Version of original on left, updated on right:
Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you. Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that congressional appropriations are optional: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
On September 3, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia entered a preliminary injunction directing the Executive to obligate roughly $10.5 billion of appropriated aid funding set to expire on September 30. Of that $10.5 billion, $4 billion was proposed to be rescinded in a “special message” transmitted pursuant to the Impoundment Control Act. See 2 U. S. C. §681 et seq. After the District Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied stays of that order, the Government filed this application to stay the District Court’s injunction. The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE and by him referred to the Court is granted. The Government, at this early stage, has made a sufficient showing that the Impoundment Control Act precludes respondents’ suit, brought pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, to enforce the appropriations at issue here. The Government has also made a sufficient showing that mandamus relief is unavailable to respondents. And, on the record before the Court, the asserted harms to the Executive’s conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm faced by respondents. This order should not be read as a final determination on the merits. The relief granted by the Court today reflects our preliminary view, consistent with the standards for interim relief.

You guys have to read the termination letter that @washingtonpost.com sent @karenattiah.bsky.social because they essentially accused her of anti-white racism because she mentioned that Charlie Kirk was a white man 😵‍💫
