True..
It is a problem. My first thought was they actually hit a real problem for once but I still don’t like him using emergency powers for everything.
Man, this is the defining issue of the next ten years, and it could explode any second. A million homeless, probably five million more just one small financial hiccup away--any a large % of those have full time jobs.
Early guess is it’s gonna be something stupid

Maybe they are playing into it. Screwing with the libs is life after all.
A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.
There are a lot of fantastical stories being told about what it's like to live in Washington, DC. Counterpoint...
If not at least it was for science
I don’t think it’s that realistic that it would be hidden if it happened. Pretty hard to do in this environment. I guess there is a chance he has something going on so no voice proof of life etc. I wouldn’t put it past them to play into it…
Rep. Maxwell Frost (D -FL10) today gave YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed a U.S. Capitol tour. Frost repeatedly mentioned vote.gov and how important it is that young people register to vote. Speed has +43M YouTube subscribers, 41M followers on TikTok and 39,8M on instagram.
I would like to apologize in advance for this
To be fair we are probably closer to a housing emergency than many of the other Trumpian emergencies, but he rules by emergency fiat on every issue. Dems debate then do nothing.
One thing for sure next time a Dem has power to declare a climate emergency don't even think for half a second about it. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
I did see it here in one of the storms last year that wasn’t super strong.
I think g2 storms are usually not visible here but not sure it’s that simple. Bz is quite south which is good tho details beyond that not sure heh.
There seems to have been a change in the structure of the CME - Bz is back further south and vibrant rays are coming back. Let's see what happens but these substorms may push it to G3 🤞
Riding home and a group of folks, like 25 deep, on the corner in my neighborhood, waving DC flags and banging pans and noisemakers to protest the occupation. Every little bit means something.
I dunno I’ve never bothered to learn much about this stuff. But we are north of STL..
Let’s gooooo
You see a lot of people peddle non truth for shares or something. Kind of annoying.
This weekend was as busy as usual everywhere I went. The zoo was a zoo today people overflowing out the entrance. Probably like Trump, DC is not dead.
They do like to beat their chests then do nothing
Stephen Miller likely does. And appreciates Maduro’s ongoing cooperation on deportation flights. Which is why I’m skeptical that this will actually turn into Operation Venezuela Freedom.
Fair
You say that like anyone in there has read a briefing even once.
Does anyone in the admin realize war with Venezuela sends a ton of people north to try to cross the border?
Alright so this may not be common knowledge but Walter Reed’s helipad is off of Palmer road in the bottom right of this picture. … Palmer road is open and accessible right now from the other direction. That would not be true if a VIP was inbound. Good lord.
Right or left it’s very hard to not get addicted to sharing first and fact checking later.
That’s where he would land coming home?
US Marshal, I think. The founding date. But anyone can buy a t-shirt.
Tbh I’ve only been by there like once
Entirely normal bsky.app/profile/docr...
Those are just the locations of the security gates lol
That’s not how Walter Reed would shut down for an emergent VIP arrival anyway.
This whole episode makes me a lot more concerned about Blueskyer ability to stay connected to reality.
Waze has people going thru at speed with no reports but trust the person who is posting from afar that has 7 posts in total.
Woody Allen was on Maher podcast today so that’s why Trump is talking about it. Apparently not dead if he found out.
Is his 1789 shirt a shout-out to the constitution he is not following? This guy looks like a J6er.
Agreed.
He’s alive but he looks like dogshit, man. I think that’s my professional opinion.
IMO Trump is alive until he is lying in state. Even then I wouldn’t be so sure.
Probably nothing - let’s stop doing this

Of course that was 30 years ago but flashbacks.
This was basically my school in Nevada Tx. I managed less than half a year there before private school.
🎶baby there’s a shark in the water🎶
I hope these officers feel like assholes at least. They sure look like assholes.
Can’t wait till the whole world is running on free energy while we are still praying to the god of coal.

The people who hate it here tend to have outsized egos. It’s a tell.

Getting back out of the pool is difficult
They are selling hot dogs for $12 like a robbery
Back row. Lastish day of summer vibes. 🌞
I didn’t realize they were jerks until recently tbh. I had much misplaced faith in the feds.
They make this flight several times a day before they harass SE at night
These guys have nothing else to do it seems
The community response ♥️ www.reddit.com/r/washington...
One thing I don’t get about the brosphere comedians is they aren’t that funny Pete Davidson’s pops is probably very proud.
I’m gonna teach you guys a really useful phrase: “My bad, I don’t know what I was thinking. Deleting this.”
I kinda want to feed AI my pics without tornadoes now to see how it adds them
Expert here. What happens is the generative AI you fed this to is a piece of shit that tried to extrapolate a shadow into what statistically should be flesh, while you sat there loudly saying "ENHANCE. ENHANCE." like a dipshit.
What are we doing here
My fav part of coding is working on something for a few hours and failing and reverting back to where you started then moving on to something less infuriating.
Notice I didn’t say alive 🤷♂️ 😝
Trump is the stupidest major power leader that ever did live
If it’s painted black they won’t see it until it fries them
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
I have no clue what’s going on with the guy, but can I just say I wouldn’t put it past them to encourage fevered speculation that they will eventually demonstrate to be untrue?
This crew still loves a leak. In our environment I’m guessing there is very little chance they’re gonna hide a dead or dying guy for days and days and days without anyone finding out. It was fun the first night now it’s just getting weird that people are still on it.
Next step will be hey that guy at the press conference was a body double!
I think #blueanon has this one covered tbh
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
Unfortunately MAGA sees this as an endorsement
youtu.be/NU9JoFKlaZ0?...
Most of it has popped up online here or Reddit or somewhere. I think in that sense it’s never going to be easy for them.. unless they shut down the internet maybe heh
I kinda want to harass them in person but I am also kinda traumatized just seeing it online knowing it’s not far away so I may not take it in person well. I’m guessing they will be around a while even if the guard goes so imagine I will have an op.
Yeah they do seem to slide in like bank robbers not known until there at the scene. I’m not sure they’ve done much at all north of like Dupont to the west of the park tho. They don’t go to the real dangerous or the real white areas.
DC just isn’t that big. People way underestimate how many troops it would take to quell real civil conflict. The J6ers need to have more babies.
I mean this is how it has been in other places like LA and Portland where the admin made it like the cities were totally on fire and it was a small area. Then again right across rock creek is another story.
I’m sure I’ve missed someone go by but it is still interesting how in my neighborhood I could be mostly unaware of the goon show without much effort.
I will hold out hope
They are digging in for trench warfare tho
I think any social media trends toward sucking over time but it’s probably better here than most places for now. I have abandoned a number of places so i make no promises.
True! We had them around here forever. At some point I guess they fixed the issue or it stopped raining.
They all act like a lack of feral dogs when together so I wouldn’t bet on it. ERO is worse tho I think.
Yeah basically.
Welcome to my life
I had dinner with a former HSI person the other day who claimed all the HSI people hate this shit but I dunno.
Bsky should team up and write a group novel. Vivid imaginations.
I like how no one in the comments has ever seen sandbags around town before
I see some clouds
It is definitely aurora season
Just a normal night in DC, sitting on the couch watching Netflix and then having to go outside because 11 cops (FBI, HSI, “police” and MPD) stopped a car on my corner.
