These keystone kkkops are driving off with toddlers in violation of their own rules, common sense and any iota of moral clarity. Shameful, rotten, not to be borne.

Pro tip, the Airdrop "bump to send" feature is very handy when a bystander snaps a photo of, say, you hugging your marathon-running stepsister

Fantastic video from @emptywheel.bsky.social explaining the level of corruption for funding the new & horrifyingly tacky "ballroom" (IMHO it looks like the Vatican & Grand Kremlin Palace puked all over White House)

I think from here forward we need to call this the #EpsteinBallroom

Interesting start to the day here in Oakland. A Terminix truck drove by, and a bin of insecticide fell out into the crosswalk as the driver continued on, oblivious. I collected the loose materials & moved them to the side of the road as other pedestrians shouted out "we appreciate you."
