Baltimore Mayor Scott response on Trump: I think it's very notable that each and every one of the cities called out by the President has a black mayor, and most of those cities are seeing historic lows in violent crimeโ€ฆ

Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling 10 years after the Supreme Court extended marriage rights to all same-sex couples, it will consider whether to take a case asking it to overturn the decision.

Like we said in 2016, and ever since. Also, has anyone seen Jill Stein lately?

The way I know so many people are gonna be locked into this and itโ€™s gonna fully solidify cancel culture as not being a real thing. This will prove that people at the end of the day donโ€™t care about injustice and choose ignorance if itโ€™s convent for them/something they enjoy

NEW โ€” Iโ€™ve learned members of the DC National Guard were told they were being activated via a mass text message sent with no warning this evening, less than 24 hours before they were expected to show up.

Here is the full text of the message, shared with me by a DCNG source:

Do not dismiss authoritarian displays as โ€œdistractions.โ€ He is putting up guardrails to protect his unchecked power.

Washington DC needs statehood like never before.

Democrats have failed to prioritize it in the past. Maybe this latest authoritarian Trump move will wake them up.

A Message Thread Among Progressive City Councilors Reveals Theyโ€™re Tightly Coordinated The messages among a bloc called โ€œPeacockโ€ provide an unusually clear window into the thinking of a group of councilors who are driving the agenda at City Hall.

Lololol. Iโ€™m grateful for our new city council.

I'm losing a lot of followers over this but I don't care. You're asking me to surrender to my own oppression to maintain your own comfort. If preserving democracy requires sacrificing vulnerable communities then democracy isn't worth saving.

Most Americans are worried about the cost of groceries.

Meanwhile, Trump is spending $200 million of taxpayers' money to build a golden ballroom.

This is Horus. He got a lot of attention on a recent flight in Mexico. Clearly the other passengers have never flown with someone so handsome. 14/10 we're told he was very well behaved (TT: denniabuendagalvn, paulinagtza_, cheetahbash, cristianjbetancourt)
