Abortion, abolition, those sorts of things. Free DC.
So how was everyone else’s night?

A new picture to send people when they ask me about trying to date men in 2025

Gabe or croissant

Well look at that

Nope. He was showing it off specifically as a Nazi tattoo more than a decade ago.

They are quite purposefully less visible. Stops and arrests are happening in under 10 minutes mostly. They have been targeting construction crews and work vans, and are overwhelmingly focused in Wards 1 and 4. Here’s a video I took of FBI, CBP, HSI, and others with MPD in Petworth about 2 weeks ago.

Here, have a video of my dog running around to interrupt your otherwise bleak feed

This is making the rounds, so it feels important to note that the Holocaust Museum is not part of the Smithsonian.

This is what a regular traffic stop looks like in DC now.

I need to get up because I have work that’s overdue and this laying on my elbow position is getting old, but the dog is sleeping so peacefully so I cannot move. I’m even typing this with the lightest taps to be quiet for him.

Government push polling. “It’ll cost the United States government that you’re literally paying taxes to for services during this process like $15 to let you file, instead of you paying TurboTax $179. Did you even think of that???”

The US Marshals are offering a reward for snitching on our neighbors in DC. It sure would be a shame if their tip line gets so overwhelmed with messages that it becomes unusable.

2. What was happening? Stopping every car, or random? Specifically targeting mopeds? This post just conveys “everyone be careful” without giving people enough information to assess their risk level.

3. Same about not including info on which agencies. MPD vs ICE is a big difference for some people.

So as not to pick on anyone else, let’s use this example of me not doing SALUTE a few days ago:

1. I should have added a time & date. Posts are timestamped, but can be cropped out when screenshots circulate & people won’t realize it’s old information when they’re reposting
August 19, 2025 at 2:26 PM
There is a LOT of filming going on and reporting out where feds and ICE are in DC. I know everyone means to be helpful when sharing that information, so I encourage everyone to get up to speed on the SALUTE method, which allows us to share info that is precise and doesn’t sow more fear.

There’s an infamous 2014 pic of me side-eyeing Lila Rose’s antichoice bullshit while clinic escorting. I was 😒 before the emoji existed. (See cover photo on this site.)

Today, we got an exciting updated version, in the form of me arguing with a guy who wanted the National Guard brought in.

Thank you! I’ve been telling everyone to put it in your contacts, and even add to your Favorites so it’s easy to find. I have it in my phone with tons of keywords so whatever I remember in the moment to search will bring it up.

Muriel Bowser has sold out the residents of this city time and again, but her actions this week have been legitimately shocking.

@mayorbowser.bsky.social, enjoy your vacation. The second we drive these federal agents out of town, we’re coming for you.
