You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

It would be funny the level of cognitive dissonance in the gop..except for the reality of anxiety and suffering it’s causing

Love to see religious leaders speaking out against the violence, hate and standing with community

@jauntywk.bsky.social 😋

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

When curiosity is discouraged, my guess is fear takes/has taken over

Yup. @jauntywk.bsky.social

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do.

Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

A Washington post headline saying “National Guard now carrying weapons in DC” under a photo of a man in fatigues with a weapon strapped to his chest.”

The National Guard is now Trump’s personal strike squad, patrolling civilian areas, armed with military-grade weaponry.

This is martial law.

On Not Surrendering in Advance (Or At Any Point Thereafter) There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation in that context. Words have power. They not ...

The resistance is active in DC—you’re just not looking closely enough It's not massive protests on Pennsylvania Avenue, but happenstance hecklers and Nextdoor posts.

A bit about #FreeDC and solidarity work in Dc. Can’t wait for the curfew to end, over policing to stop and community to win over fear/authoritarianism/hate/violence

So true!

It’s cute how the Wall Street Journal just noticed that the rapid ascension of fascism is bad for the economy.

I really don't want to provoke them into ginning anything up, but it is so so so hard to imagine the National Guard here in DC doing anything other than standing around. There'll be like 12 things they get involved with period.

The long tail of having shown my kids mulan is that I keep having to explain sexism to Noah as it is a very foreign concept to him

He is currently obsessed with the Be a Man song and today was stuck on the line "did they send me daughters when I asked for sons" bc he couldn't fathom it as an insult

@jauntywk.bsky.social too true
