Liberal but (definitely) not a Dem.

Embarrassed to be an Arlingtonian almost daily. Corporate Dems = Moderate Repubs

Keyboard warrior extraordinaire (backs it up with action)

🚫 fundraising DMs/trolls

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

DC's most prestigious private schools (where all of these politicians send their kids), all have had unwavering commitment to DEI. Let's visit a few websites, shall we? (If there is an error, then the institution has taken down their page. These links are current as of 1/27/25.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I'm so angry at all of our Dem senators tonight. They should have lobbied their OWN colleagues to NOT capitulate.

It didn't work out so well the first time.

Oh, and Schumer? Someone good primary him please.

The senior Senator from Virginia is a no on the funding bill

Warner is up for re-election next year and imagine would like to avoid primary

Most of Yes votes for Dems will be retiring or don’t have to worry about primary any time soon
Warner breaks with Kaine on funding vote, though he praises RIF prohibitions

Instead of donating money to destroy the White House, maybe multi-billion dollar corporations could forward these funds to food pantries.

The GOP is using the shutdown to literally make people choose between starving and losing their healthcare. That’s how sadistic this is and what the age of fascism is going to look like unless we defeat it.

Did you show up on a convenient weekend day to find like-minded people to commiserate with?

Did you just show up with a sign, hear some motivational speakers, march around for a few hours and go home?

That's a Block Party, not a sustained direct action. Not even a protest.

It blows my mind everyday that many people hate Black and Brown people so much that they'd rather blow up our economic, healthcare, and public school systems so that absolutely nobody can have access to good things.

You sure are putting a lot of energy into a rich white guy getting his job back...

and immediately capitulating to their overlords.

It would be nice if you'd do the same for Karen Attiah, Joy Reid, Hannah Nikole-Jones; not to mention the 300,000+ Black women who lost their jobs this year.

<—— DC’s real crime wave

#mustardonthebeat
August 12, 2025 at 1:50 PM
Who will save big US cities from angry white people?

Nobody.

From murdering indigenous people for their land, to murdering Black chattel slaves for their labor (and bodies), to murdering anyone not white for perceivably taking more of their economic pie… led to today’s press conference. (1)
August 11, 2025 at 4:34 PM
The crime in DC is directly perpetrated by our Commander in Chief.

Biggest crime wave ever. Arbitrary detainments and deportations, bribery, funding impoundments, outright contempt of our Constitution and its amendments*… and I’m already running out of room

Democracy weeps.

*excluding the 2nd…

If you live or work in Washington DC and are privileged, please go to work and to class and conduct business as you usually do. And show up for our residents who will be targeted today. Document it ALL.

We will not be bullied by those who don’t belong here.

The biggest act of resistance today is to show up. To work, to CLASS, to the streets. We won’t let a damn bully ruin our beautiful DC with their lies.

Black, Brown, disAbled, unhoused/homeless, undocumented. You belong more than the current occupiers of our great city.

I go to the MLK library twice a week for a class. I probably should be more scared for my safety, but the unhoused people who hang out in and around it?

I expect all of us to protect them better than we did our Brown immigrant community.

My husband works in DC. I go into DC several times a week from VA. It's just like any big town. Yes, there's crime, petty and otherwise; but if you know your surroundings, you will likely be fine. I've never been harmed.

Twenty five years, and the only time I feel unsafe is when the R's are in town

Since we are just ignoring the Constitution at this point…

WITH THE POWERS INVESTED IN ME, I CALL FOR A FEDERAL PRESIDENTIAL, SENATE AND HOUSE ELECTION ON AUGUST 15, 2025!!! EVERYONE MUST GO!!!!

Today is August 6, 2025 and there are still people at CECOT, South Sudan, Alligator Alcatraz and other (growing) concentration camps in the US for no other reason than the AUDACITY of people of color wanting opportunities for themselves and their families TOO. Not INSTEAD.

My heart hurts everyday.

I think we need to pool our money... to find the politician/leader who WILL stop this nonsense ASAP.

I'll donate big money to any politicians coffer who has an actual, implementable plan, not tell me that their hands are tied.

Since money is all they listen to anyway.

Carolyn Bryant, the woman who accused Emmett Till of whistling at her and whose lie led to his lynching, never apologized or recanted. She died in 2023.
That lie was her identity. Giving it up would mean giving up her whole life.
Trumpers are like that, too.
