Wash. Post: How Trump’s ballroom will dwarf the White House

He will name it after himself. The $300 billion will be paid for by corporations & billionaires buying favors (money's never free).

No matter the additional expense it must be torn down when he is gone. dub.sh/TrumpBallroom (gift link)

The White House does NOT belong to Trump even if he's is trying to turn it into tacky palace. #NoKings

Be outraged — for us as citizens under occupation, and for these soldiers, too; they did not sign up to be Trump's stormtroopers.

@51st.news is celebrating one year in DC local news. They are having a happy hour and we're all invited!

The "scourge of left-wing violence"??? 🤣

The twenty-something "White House spokeswoman" has spoken. Let's go "beclown" ourselves on Saturday! 🤡

#NoKings ✊🇺🇸

Way to go, Chicago! #FreeChicago #FreeDC

The man who holds the office once held by George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and FDR shared this yesterday. 😢

The president has lost his f__king mind. 😳

It was one of the top soccer bars in the region for a long time. I hope it will be again! ⚽

October 18th - No Kings Nation Day of Defiance #NoKings

Trump telling the generals he is creating a military "quick reaction force" to deploy in American cities to counter "the enemy within" (civilians). We were warned. 😳

"All these demonstrators you've seen out here in recent days — the elderly white hippies — they are not part of the city and never have been." ✊😂

The "communists"??? 🤣

P.S. - We love our "elderly white hippies." ALL of DC is united against Trump!

Lies to top generals & admirals:

"Washington, DC went from our most unsafe city to just about our safest in a period of a month."

"It's a war from within."

"We should use...these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military."

Most of the arrests were misdemeanor immigration offenses.

Starbucks closing on U Street, at Howard U, and in Adams Morgan. Today (Saturday) is their last day. They also closed their store at 13th & U a few years ago.

The side-eye is SO perfect.

D.C. Council member Brianne Nadeau will not seek reelection in Ward 1 Nadeau’s announcement that she won’t seek a fourth term is likely to ignite a fierce campaign for the open D.C. Council seat. Three candidates have already announced.

An ICE recruiting TV ad running in the DC area that aims to lure officers from regional police forces. 😡
Appalling.

Sinclair Won’t Air Jimmy Kimmel’s Return on Its 38 ABC Stations The preemption means that 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' will remain unavailable for some of the U.S. despite its return after a nearly week-long suspension.

Jimmy Kimmel's Tuesday return (& subsequent shows) will not air in DC because WJLA (ABC7) is owned by the far-right Sinclair Broadcast Group.

Whether or not you watch him viewers should reject overt this political interference. Send emails to Sinclair at comments@sbgi.net.

New York Times article from 1939. Headlines reads "Goebbels Ends Careers of Five 'Aryan' Actors Who Made Witticisms About the Nazi Regime"

Re: Kimmel – seems they have a dusty old copy of the fascism manual.

More abuse of our right to LOCAL elected representation — and over the objection of the people we voted for. 😡 #FreeDC

"House lawmakers voted Tuesday to allow 14-year-olds to be tried as adults for serious crimes...despite universal opposition among top D.C. elected officials."

Yes, fascism. The Trump admin plans a crackdown on liberal nonprofits — labeling dissent a “domestic terror network.”

Key characteristics of fascism:
• Use of state power to punish political opponents
• Redefining political dissent as terrorism

Democracy vs autocracy.

Cosplaying as D.C. Council, House Republicans advance dozen-plus bills targeting city they don’t represent The party of limited government is treading heavily on D.C.

From taking away our right to elect an Attorney General and criminalizing homelessness, to locking up 14-year-olds as adults and repealing police discipline reforms, the House GOP aims to gut DC’s local governance.

No other Americans are treated this way — why are we? #FreeDC

How Protesters Got Into the DC Restaurant Where Trump Dined Activists chanted, "Free DC. Free Palestine. Trump is the Hitler of our time.”

"These people should not get a second of peace wherever they are. If they’re in public, we will find them and we will make sure that they hear what we have to say.”
