That note looks like it was written by someone who went to architecture school. My late wife wrote exactly like that. Nice images.

Your regular reminder that it is not hyperbole to say that Republicans do not care if you live or die, and will proactively advance measures to ensure the latter.

Every passing day reaffirms this.

Itโ€™s past midnight and thereโ€™s a helicopter cruising low over 16th street incoming siren from the south. Weโ€™re living in a crisis of their own making

Itโ€™s the 11 pm helicopters to be followed by the 7am sirens

Postcards From Home: Photographs From an Unpublished Book As I approach 40 years of photographing D.C., Iโ€™m returning to my archive that shows Washington beyond the monuments.

As he approaches 40 years with WCP, @darrow-m.bsky.social is digging into his archive. All of the photos predate his move to digital cameras and were shot, developed, and printed in the series of darkrooms he built over the years. Read about the project and catch up on the shots you missed:

If youโ€™re a pigeon gifted with the ability of flight why would you sit on the roof of a Honda for three blocks heading west on park road?

The extorted military leaders should have stood up and walked out, their loyalty rests with the constitution not one man.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Stephen Miller has never worked outside of politics and has only held appointed positions. No one has ever voted for him.

I canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are โ€œused to itโ€ but it is absolutely insane

Something Remarkable about seeing the same person you first saw preform when you got your drivers license but 45 years later and they still fucking killed

You don't have to be the Senate minority leader or the head of baseball operations to say they're bad at their jobs!

Think about the possibility of shutting it all down. Quite easy to just not show up and cripple the whole show

As it all accelerates, I am not sure what I think about the deepening physical awareness that millions of Americans want an authoritarian government. Am I numb? Anxious? Troubled? Perplexed? Angry? Exhausted? Wired? Depressed? Baffled? Not surprised? Surprised? Yes. All of the above.

This happened about a quarter mile or so from my house and makes me physically sick to watch this.
