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!

You still have time to see the delightful holiday display at the US Botanical Garden! Loving the dinosaurs this year but always impressed by the DC bldg recreations.

I didn't expect to tear up watching this short clip.

#Swifties #SwiftyDads
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Ok #SkyLaw #AppellateSky #lawtwitter and #appellatetwitter:

Who can help me understand what Trump v. Illinois means for the ruling in DC v. Trump?

Bec we don’t have statehood are we gonna fall in the “exceptional circumstances” where FGvt can inflict troops on us?

Will this be binding on DC CTA?

Haha! Apparently NationalToday.com is run by scammers now-for National Call A Friend Day they suggest chatting with any wrong number phone calls you get or intentionally dialing a wrong number to "make a friend"
nationaltoday.com/national-cal...

Have they not gotten wrong message texts from Evelyn?
National Call a Friend Day
National Call a Friend Day is all about making an effort on December 28 to reach out with a phone call and connect, voice to voice, with a good friend.

Can you imagine the engraver receiving this text and calling to confirm this was actually the intended text for the plaque?

Insults, random capitalizations, known debunked conspiracy theories, and more.

Gorgeous morning sky-hope that bodes well for a good day.

My college freshman comes home today (flying through Providence) so will be glad to get back here!

Between the admission police have no idea who or where the Brown University killer is, the rising Bondi Beach death toll and Rob Reiner’s murder, I’m struggling this morning and can’t seem to move on to daily activities.

Photos of your pets please??

Ah. Now the BBC reporting 6-7 minutes of the gunmen firing uninterrupted also.

December 14, 2025 at 5:06 PM
Ok sorry for the source here but not seeing the slow police action reported elsewhere.

Why were the gunmen able to keep shooting & calmly reloading to kill for so long?

Did police really not return fire until after an unarmed citizen tackled one of the gunmen?

I couldn’t even capture the intensity of the sunrise this morning. It was like Plato‘s sunrise.

I’m taking as a good omen for this day.

And while I merrily liveskeeted the ridiculous Macys Parade DC officials released the names of the shot WVa national guardsmen who have both undergone surgery and still in critical condition, both shot in the head and Sarah also in the chest. 😳😥
Pirro says the families of 20-year old Sarah Beckstrom & 24-year old Andrew Wolfe are with them right now. She asked everyone to pray for them, they remain in critical condition.

I’ve continued my live tweeting of the Macys #ThanksgivingParade here in the Good Place.
It’s ridiculous and features singers from yesteryear and ones I’ve never heard of and Broadway performances.
Enjoy!
Ok Cynthia scatting before cutting the ribbon to start it all is a really good way to start this parade off!

And WVa governor just gave a press conference indicating he had no plans to recall his national guard home…saying something about continuing to fight for justice….
November 27, 2025 at 12:59 AM
Oh boy. CBS reporting lone suspect was an Afghani national and others say terrorism unit is taking over.

If this was a terror-related incident, a lot more questions are raised.

And likely the Administration will use to justify needing more National Guard here.

Jeez. So will Americans in these states who sent natl guard here demand their governors recall their troops?

Looks like our current 2200 Natl Guardsmen are from West Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, plus DC.

At press conference MPD says lone suspect came around corner and immediately started shooting at 2 Natl Guardsmen in a targeted attack.

Other nearby Natl Guardsmen came over to subdue the suspect.

Unclear who shot the suspect.
November 26, 2025 at 9:58 PM
Or….not??

Now WVa governor tweeted both tweeting out that there’s conflicting reports on the guardsmen’s life or death.

WHY would you post that quickly?
Oh no.
Now @nbcwashington.com reporting WVa governor has tweeted that both Natl Guardsmen have died. 😓
