Damn! I forgot about this brilliantly scary episode (among so many) forewarning the possibilities of the future if we forget, ignore or never learn about the past! Serling was a genius!

So now djt is threatening DC Home Rule (taking away what little autonomy we have now to govern ourselves), if Janeese Lewis George “running a ‘Zohran Mamdani campaign,’ …that focuses on ‘socialist’ policies” is elected Mayor. 1/2

Extensive DC road closures planned for UFC fight at White House nbcwashington.app.link/jaKGD3AxP3b Total chaos FOR DAYS here in DC so 🍊guy can throw himself a massive (tacky-ass) birthday party! But guess that’s to be expected when you have a 🤡👶 for POTUS!

And here were go!👇🏾 We need to vote in numbers in too big to tamper with! (talking to y’all who think your vote doesn’t matter!). Esp. if he looses bigly, he’ll swear it was “rigged.” 🙄 He’s running scared and will try whatever he can to rig this election VOTE every local/national election!

California just held an election w/paper ballots, signature verification, audits, bipartisan oversight & public vote counting procedures. You don’t get to yell “fraud” every time voters make a choice you don’t like. Take the whiny little b*tch act somewhere else. We’re not buying it in this state!

To paraphrase the quote… those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. Now you know why he “loves the uneducated!”

I don’t know what’s worse… the 🦇sh*t crazy one’s rambling, or his sycophants who let him. He’s POTUS, for Godsakes! - not your feeble-minded, but harmless Grandpa!! 🙄 www.nbcwashington.com/news/preside...

So let’s be clear: Christian Nationalism is not a scholarly debate about our history, about how our country was founded. It’s a sinister, exclusionary movement. ... Full Substack article is available to read and share.

Tell me nothing this man says is true! I DARE YOU!

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

My first thought was there is NO F^CKING WAY in hell those were Secret Service surrounding 🍊guy. The real Service would have pushed his head down and kept him down as they whisked him off stage. Letting him pop back up for a raised fist photo op - giving the shooter a 2nd chance?!? Yup, FAKE! 🙄

The MAGAts are starting to question the validity of the Butler, PA assassination attempt. Just now. The fuck is wrong with them. Seriously how thick can they be still. #SheShed

Yup - it was GOP leaders in Congress who told Nixon to resign for the good of the country, or we will impeach you, and you will be found guilty! Today’s GOP is a self-serving cult!

Sorry, not sorry, that we in DC know “political shenanigans” when we see it - like you thought a DC jury would actually convict “sandwich guy” for assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon! 🙄 www.cnn.com/2026/04/06/p...

No wonder the US has lost all its standing and respect by the rest of the world. It’ll likely take decades to even the smallest amount if it back. At this point why would any former ally (or even enemy) trust anything coming out of the US! 😔

Had dinner at the Wharf DC tonight. A beautiful early evening sky after a rainy Easter. 🥰

So very true!

Anyone else notice this? Mainstream journalists have forgotten their duty to speak truth to power. It is why it is one of the rights written into the Constitution. Political cartoonists are the real and true heroes of the moment.
