Fun fact: The George Washington Memorial Parkway runs 25 miles from Mount Vernon to Arlington, VA, patrolled by civilian U.S. Park Police who enforce misdemeanors without masks and militarization. ICE isn’t police—it was militarized under Trump to intimidate and enforce racial policies.

We have had a lot of flooding here in Washington state recently. One bright spot has been the Mt. Vernon flood wall, which has now been through its second flood, preventing far more damage than it cost to build. It was ragged on as the usual "government waste" by the usual suspects when it was built

The Department of Labor has been putting out some intense propaganda recently. Here are my takes on two of their recent pieces. As a descendant of Martha Washington and Italian immigrants, I remember who I am and where I came from.
U.S. Department of Labor post on X with the caption: One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American. Underneath is a video that plays with a statue of George Washington looking off into the distance, with a font in all caps above him that reads, Remember who ouy are. The font is TT Modernoir Semibold. In the background behind George Washington, there are old-timey images of American colonists building a log cabin, etc. U.S. Department of Labor post on X with the caption: The future belongs to the Patriot. Embrace Americanism. There's an image beneath of a bald eagle with one side of its face in shadow, and the text beneath says Embrace Americanism. The font is Job Clarendon Semibold. The bald eagle in the picture does not look happy. It's a very upset looking bald eagle. The picture is in an blue/purple-hued grayscale. Grayscale picture. Statue of George and Martha Washington with their children (Mount Vernon). There is text above their heads in all caps that reads We are all immigrants. The font is TT Modernoir Semibold. In the background, there is a painting of the Mayflower heading towards land. Picture of a bald eagle flying over mountains. The caption beneath reads Migrant Nation. The font is Job Clarendon Semibold. The text is outlined and a bit wavy, rather than solid.

I meant to do alt text and forgot. So sorry. It’s from Dazed and Confused. At the party at the moon tower- just after the discussion of George Washington growing weed on Mt Vernon and being in a cult that was into aliens.

Surely, you mean George Washington (not Thomas Jefferson 🤓) in the alt-text, which is very appreciated btw. Looks like a trip back to Mount Rushmore might be in order (Mount Vernon & Monticello not being in the your inventory). 😉

As a charter member, I’m delighted to see Arlington Neighborhood Village and other Virginia villages get this additional support for helping seniors age in place. #ArlingtonVA
The Virginia Villages Collective (VVC) and Washington Area Villages Exchange (WAVE) have launched a groundbreaking statewide initiative to reduce the public-health risk of social isolation among older Virginians by scaling the expansion of Villages. Entitled Aging Well with Virginia Villages, the new state-funded program is designed to accomplish two objectives: 1) provide grants for projects and programs that build the capacity of existing Villages to address the risks of social isolation; and 2) foster the development of new Villages in the Commonwealth with emphasis on underserved areas. The following Villages have been awarded grants totaling $105,471: Arlington Neighborhood Village, Arlington County At Home in Alexandria, City of Alexandria Cville Village, City of Charlottesville Fairfax Village in the City, City of Fairfax Here to Stay in Wintergreen, Nelson County LOWLINC, Orange County Mount Vernon at Home, Fairfax County Rapp at Home, Rappahannock County Springhill Community Village, Fairfax County Valley Village, City of Harrisonburg Village Neighbors of Chincoteague, Accomack County Funded projects are designed to expand programs to reach visually impaired and other vulnerable older adults; strengthen social connections through volunteer training and friendly calls and visits; organize neighborhood clusters to provide socialization and day trips; expand outreach to underserved areas; increase social programming for solo adults; and expand the Village service area to reach new communities.
