Not so slowly
Smart of JB Pritzker to call out Stephen Miller by name. He's one of the least likable government officials in memory who oozes sadism and anger from every pore. Dems need to make him the villainous face of ICE brutality.
It's not a "Baltimore bridge." It's a bridge in Baltimore that serves an interstate. It's a US bridge. It's for everyone.
Trump is going to great lengths to hide that right hand.
Trump is still hiding his right hand, I see.
Also, Wes out alpha'ed Trump at the Army-Navy game last year. bsky.app/profile/bigg...
Radicalizing, TBH
ICE fucks you either way. You’re defying them if you don’t show up. If you do, they kidnap you and send you to Uganda. He’s already been to El Salvador’s notorious prison. So infuriating! I'm getting radicalized.

A grey tree frog, I believe. I have one who lives on my deck in Baltimore. I call him Hopkins, of course. Can be quite loud at night.
A two dog night
Trump has sent troops to LA and is threatening Chicago and Baltimore. Each governor (Newsom, Pritzker, Moore, all considered 2028 POTUS options) will get a chance to show how his state will stand up to Trump and possibly boost his 2028 chances.
As Trump threatens to send troops to Baltimore, it seems like a good time to remember this Moore-Trump encounter. The consensus was that Wes more than held his own. baltimorefishbowl.com/stories/moor...

Can you do Baltimore restaurants next?!
Not only are Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, and Wes Moore governors of blue states, they are also politicians prominently discussed as possible 2028 POTUS candidates. Another reason Trump is attacking them.
"crackdown"
Bumper sticker spotted in downtown Baltimore yesterday.
I thought Dems and libs were the "big tent" party with room for a range of views. Tom is one of the good guys and a fierce Trump opponent. How about just engaging with him respectfully on the issues?
Missed it. Sorry.
Agree. For example, all of a sudden Trump is talking about going to heaven. Does he know something he hasn't told us?
Trump is also talking suddenly about going to heaven.
Governor Moore has addressed this already. Trump can smell a rival, a danger to his prestige, a man with a far better resume than his. Moore has a better marriage, he's a better athlete and a better man all around. That threatens Trump.
Billboard at North Charles Street and North Avenue, a prominent Baltimore intersection.
Nicely polished shoes. Has Lindsey Graham been to White House lately?
"Importing" without paying the tariffs, huh?!

I was being sarcastic, of course.
The Mountain (1956). And The Birds.
Has any reporter asked Trump about his hand?
"You woke people complain that we kidnapped black African folks, brought them to America, and enslaved them, and now you complain when we tell them to go back to Africa. I don't understand."
Again so soon?!
It could of been worse. Dunkin' Donuts shrank to just Dunkin'. Cracker Barrel could have chosen Cracker.
"US Customs has not provided clarity on how to process these packages." We ask once again, US Administration malevolence or incompetence or both? www.dutchnews.nl/2025/08/postnl-to-stop-shipping-parcels-to-us-over-tariffs/
Isn't this how Putin, civil servant his whole life, got so rich?
You mean like Cher or Fabian?
Watch the Trump admin regard "leaking" in the Biden admin as worse than "bleeding" in the Trump admin.
007/11
Trump met with some embarrassed troops for a few minutes. No civilians anywhere in sight.
They decided to begin with someone no one will defend.
do tell
Impeachable.
Good night to stay home and watch the Orioles on TV. Maybe boo as they drive by, but otherwise ignore them.
A criminal and his gang will be loose on DC streets!
Oh, no!
Just a few of these local skate shops left. This one is in Baltimore.
Beautiful evening in downtown "so far gone" Baltimore. (s/o @lauralippman.bsky.social)
This is very, very bad news. Only extremists will volunteer. Some will have PTSD. The lines between these agencies will further blur. More soldiers on more streets in more cities. I fear big trouble ahead.
Curfews and "papers" and we're there.
It's OK for Miller to wear a tan suit because he isn't President yet.
Vance brought his Hegseth bobblehead, I see.
Maybe Miller insulting old people is not just cruel, but also bad politics. Let's see.
So Miller is promoting literal "hippie-bashing," huh?
So if crime has "vanished," time for the troops to go home, isn't it?
Do they all do the eyebrow arch thing?
Power can corrupt women too.
States, the laboratories of autocracy.
Turns out states are the laboratories of autocracy
The All Mighty Senators were in fine form last night at the 8x10 in Baltimore.

A MS'ed opportunity
Violent right-wingers in the Netherlands? This seems to be happening all over the world. www.dutchnews.nl/2025/08/far-...

A MS'ed opportunity.
So if someone is disabled and can't travel to vote because mail-in voting has been outlawed, they are SOL?
Well, the law is “old” after all, so 🤷♂️
Tin soldiers and Trump is coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming Four dead in Cardozo

How about "lock, stock, and barrel?"
It's their way of showing their displeasure with your existence.
I'm also a frequent pedestrian in Baltimore and I can confirm this. Most drivers are considerate, but others feel like they've complied with the law if they narrowly miss you while you're still in the crosswalk. Often they glare at you as if you're the problem. Let's normalize walking in the city!
Never, never, never
"fellow liberals" -- Welcome, Bill.
Trump's in line to receive the Nobel Prize for Wasting Everyone's Time
Lavrov is usually quite nattily dressed, so it's definitely a middle finger.
Glad to see "golfo de México" instead of "golfo de..," you know.
It's "golfo de México," I see. Glad The New York Times en Español is holding the line against Trump's efforts to rename the gulf.
Yeah, OK, but now try it with hamburgers😀
Lavrov is usually nattily dressed, so his wearing a CCCP sweatshirt is quite a middle finger to the US.
👏👏👏
A bunch of baloney
In Baltimore, we have free buses -- and a free water taxi in the harbor -- that coexist with pay options and things seem to be going just fine, so...
Fleetwood Big Mac
A capital offense
For Trump there could be no greater honor than to receive an honor from the great Trump. A perfect narcissistic circle.
I'm sorry to say it this way, who the fuck does he think he is?!
Slightly diminish a band: They Might Not Be Giants After All.
That was excellent. Thanks for the tip.
See?! It can be done.
Go, Sherrod!
