putin and trump standing weirdly

hello and welcome to your first day of standing normal lessons

DC man accused of throwing sandwich at federal officer released from custody Sean Dunn, accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal officer, is released on his own recognizance as the judge finds the felony charge excessive.

Subway sandwich guy has been released on his own recognizance.

His attorney argued the felony charge was excessive, and the judge agreed.

Oh, and he’s a USAF veteran.

two. sandwiches.

Been working on a new feature pitch

ooh if you’re of polish, italian or irish descent…watch out

A bearded man (of whose cheesily-grinning face we can only see about a third) holds a to-go bag from Wei Ramen in front of a red door and brown brick wall

I was worried about my GrubHub driver, Patricia. She had been parked for a couple minutes, so I went out to find her.

She handed me my bag, and I said, “Do you need to take a picture?” She said yes, so I cheesed it big for a funny verification photo, but she cut me off!

(Set aside any logical thinking that might lead you to conclude that the police who have allowed 15.8% more homicides per capita than Chicago are not keeping us safe.)

“The per capita homicide rate in Indianapolis is 15.8% higher than 〰️ CHICAGOOOOOO 〰️ !!!”

The local FOP guy had to dig deep for that one because Indy’s homicide rate is down like 20%+ year over year, so he has less data to monger the fear with.

"I did it. I threw the sandwich" isn't the worst mayoral slogan i've ever heard

Does anyone know if these people are genuinely scared of being in a city or just saying they’re scared?

I live in downtown Indianapolis. To hear the local talk radio persons talk, it’s a wonder I haven’t been shot and/or knifed and/or otherwise maimed.

But, like…it’s safe. <stares at camera>

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement.
The President does not run the Smithsonian.
The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law.
Release the Epstein files.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

That's ONE way not to report bad numbers...

Heartbreaking news! Grew up on What's Happening reruns. Thinking of Danielle's family and friends today.

Almost. A substantial number of USians are uncomfortable w/ the existence of autonomous Black people in public life period, followed closely by poor/unhoused people. Poor, unhoused Black people existing is criminalized up to the point of execution.

Black Codes are resurging (they never went away).

I brought my family to see Congress certify the vote for the 2020 presidential election.

The first thing I saw was a bunch of MAGA thugs assaulting the Capitol, one of whom was wearing a stupid buffalo hat.

So forgive me if I doubt that the guy who pardoned them is going to bring crime down.

They’re getting really close to just posting “you think crime is down? I SAW black people!”

So much about our current national situation is explained by the fact that a substantial proportion of Americans truly believe that “feeling somewhat uncomfortable” is the same as being the victim of an actual crime

bragging about being a giant pussy is integral to the conservative mindset

It looked like he was gonna make it!

Lol, this is really something.

One of the (many) dumb things about this is that the Natl Mall is *already* one of the most policed areas of the entire country—more than a dozen agencies cover it. Using fed special agents for line police work here is asking the Lakers to skip the NBA to staff high school games as ball-boys.

Since living here, I’ve lived in Trinidad, Edgewood, and now Congress Heights. People here are generally fine and friendly. They’re being targeted by the world’s most powerful government for being Black.

We DO NOT NEED a measles treatment because we have a fucking VACCINE.

Air Force Denies Early Retirement for Transgender Men and Women

This is just cruelty for no reason other than to be cruel. It’s inexcusable and the core of everything wrong with this hateful regime.

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

Collect them all! 🤣
