@michaelsteele.bsky.social As a 16 yr DC resident, I agree these illegitimate, hideous vanity projects should be torn down on principle. Also recall that fewer than 5% of DC residents voted for the Chaos Orangutan in each of the last 3 elections. This erection orgy feels a lot like retribution.

Down to the last 100 of 800 #BlueWave postcards to Texas voters, providing a link to check their voter registration status. Their pathetic governor purged over 1 million voters shortly before November midterms to prevent his citizens from voting against him & the wildly corrupt Ken Paxton!

Brown tabletop filled with postcards to Texas voters, highlighters, pens, stamps and star stickers. Postcards show 2 rows of white cowboy boots on a light blue background with the words, “Be a voter, check your voter registration status. Be sure you can vote” in red lettering.

#JustSayNo #Resist A TSA agent kicked me out of Pre-check screening last week after I declined to let him take my picture for an OPTIONAL #FacialRecognition program. Despite paying for the “privilege” of Pre-check, I had to go through general screening. We have a right to decline—JUST SAY NO!

Is it wrong to fantasize about arranging a cabinet or other #WhiteHouse meeting in which everyone seated around the table says what the majority of American people ACTUALLY think about the Chaos Orangutan🦧 ? What would you say, given the chance?

These #ElonMusk political spending plans need greater publicity so that they have a chance to backfire the way his 2025 spending in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election did. Musk Plans to Spend at Least $100 Million to Help Republicans in the Midterms www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

Poor baby had 13 teeth extracted today & must wear the soft cone collar for a week so she doesn’t rip any sutures. She keeps bumping into walls & doors and, most frustratingly, cannot clean her face or whiskers!

Given *discretionary* #DHS budget of $64 billion, supported by Maine’s #SusanCollins , ICE ought to be able to screen out violent, racist agents like the killer of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford ME. It’s inexcusably negligent! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The DHS has not released the name of the officer who killed Durán Guerrero but said the “vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.”

As I escape endless gut-churning news by bingeing on #GOT reruns and #HOTD , I keep fantasizing about loosing #Sheepstealer on the Mar-a-Lago mafia.

Every day is a good day to #BoycottAmazon I order directly from sellers, who get to keep more of their profits.

Doesn’t the #KennedyCenter, with the #Trump Tarp of Shame still covering a large portion of the entrance and name, now look like a gigantic geriatric diaper? For god’s sake, the man is 80 years old—he needs to grow the heck up!

DRAMA! at the #KennedyCenter *scaffolding erected (why not use a scissor lift?) *workers leave (lunch break, thunderstorms and/or last minute appeal?) *workers return & add 2 layers of scaffolding (why so much higher than needed?) *midnight deadline passes (doesn’t that violate court order?)

But what an incredible crowd watching in person, as well as live streaming this! Our joy at seeing this despised name come off the #KennedyCenter will not be denied!
