Ave Maria
Eleanor Holmes-Norton thinks this is awful
20 min for a bus in @wmatagm.bsky.social's Better Bus. In the middle of DC. This isn't the burbs. This is unacceptable
Journalism!
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
The latter
So discouraging how common this is. People feel no shame or have second thoughts about recording themselves while driving.
Ave Mariiiiiiaaaaaa..............
I hate it here, so so much
Mike Johnson wouldn't find that funny
Bummer Drew didn't report the specific sites he visited
Lol, the irony is overwhelming
There's that party of limited govt again
But but but Mexican cartels are recruiting children in Guadalajara, a World Cup city! Sincerely, Wash Post
Exactly. This woman deserves to do time.
Ben Smith's best hire
Devout Catholic, LMFAO
Yes, I've heard about this. At least they're not arresting teenagers on the Mall for selling water.
The NYT loves Dump and wants him to rule us like a king
DC's least accountable federal police force looks forward to running you over or smashing into your car in the pursuit of "bad guys" (door dash drivers on mopeds)
(Until now) USPP has always been the most lawless and unaccountable force in the federal bureaucracy. Glad to see they're getting back to their roots.
US Park Police putting DC resident lives at risk by unnecessarily pursuing suspects on city streets. Of course, the do this to please Dump, who doesn't give a shit about the lives of DC residents. This federal occupation of DC cannot end soon enough. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Starting with the GOP Supreme Court justices
This woman deserves to go to prison
Try mixing in a period sometime
And it would indeed be both hilarious and awesome if this crowd gets hostile. For an exhibition game!
Thanks for the response. All great points. I wish it was a regular season game, but the fact it's at the Smith Center is remarkable. Credit to Ed Cooley for thinking outside the box and agreeing to this because anyone affiliated with JT Jr would have never let this happen.
Take me out RFK Jr style!
What do you think about the GW-Gtown exhibition bball game?
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
I'm assuming Bama doubled his total earnings if not more and their boosters have 10x the money to spend on players. That said, you have a point about creating your own fiefdom and Seattle is a great place to live.
wild that the restaurant association of metropolitan Washington has been more publicly antagonistic to a twice-passed ballot measure than to the occupying military forces kidnapping and intimidating their workforce
Bozo Bezo's fascist Post chugging along
Huh. Dump's been telling us there's been zero border crossings...
I would like to attend the Open but am turned off by how crazy expensive it is now. I stick to attending the DC Open, which is a short bus ride away allows me to go home and eat lunch and relax when the heat becomes too much. Total expense for one day: $50.
The date of my original post. Plus yesterday at 530 pm
The National Press Club just gave an award to the WSJ for a Biden Old story. They are morally obligated to award one next year for a Dump Senile story.
But but but Mexican cartels are disappearing teenagers in Guadalajara! Sincerely, Bozo Bezos' fascist Washington Post
@wmata.com why are SB D50 buses getting stuck at Ingraham St? This has been happening for days now and makes BusETA times for the rest of the route unreliable.
Love this! Bought my parents a DC flag when I first moved here and they represent in my home town
The hypocrisy of a US newspaper accusing another nation of disappearing children. The Post continues to humiliate itself on a daily basis. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...
This is obvious proof that Columbus is living in the midst of a crime emergency and deserves to have the Guard invade it and a police state installed until things get sorted out.
The National Press Club gave an award to the WSJ on Wednesday for a Biden Old story. They are morally obligated to give one to whatever news outlets submits a Donnie Dementia story for consideration.
Ugh, which high school?
Maybe the worst mainstream rock band of all time
20 min at 5:30pm to get a SB bus on 14th St NW. @wmatagm.bsky.social's "Better Bus" is a smashing success. Thanks Randy!
I know. I hear on WAMU every day. I don't know how you guys do it.
Let's not be making excuses for our feckless mayor
Vertical video is a disease
I am BEGGING people to film horizontal, and to get shoes in the frame.
They're also vendor locked
Paging Muriel Bowser
“We don’t need federal police patrolling our streets, intimidating our residents, shadowing our police. And we don’t need ICE in our community at all, disappearing our people and targeting folks just because of the color of their skin.” — @brianneknadeau.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=azvw...
Fascism
Great job on WAMU. Thank you for standing up for Ward 4 and DC residents
Tom Sherwood: Was DC safe (during the "crime wave") for these school trips to visit? DC Police Chief: It is now! What an asshole
This DC Police Union chief is on Politics Hour is acting like the jerkoff everyone expected
Donald Trump's attempts to impose autocracy on America presents some tough choices for the rest of us. But some choices should be easy: www.findinggravity.net/trumps-milit...
In the MAGA mind, this is the most scandalous thing that has ever happened. A company tried to change its logo in order to stop hemorrhaging money and they're treating it like the Pentagon Papers
Narrative buster: NYT finds that DC arrests were up only 13% over the previous two weeks and that the biggest change has been more arrests for minor infractions like smoking weed in a public place. (This does not include immigration abductions.) (Gift link.) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
Listen in today at noon to The Politics Hour on @wamu.org where I’ll be talking about the federal occupation and what communities are doing to protect our neighborhoods.
Thanks Ben. We've had 15+ min headways show up on 14th St ever since Better Bus started. It's rare but it does happen. Really like the 18 hours of express bus service, but 14th St should never have 15 min headways between 5a and 11p.
Thanks. Just really frustrated.
Crime pays for the Dump crime syndicate
23 minutes until the next NB bus on 14th St NW. At 8 pm. Only on @wmatagm.bsky.social's "Better Bus" #wmata!

Eat shit, Post ed board. You endorsed this
Muriel Bowser: My lesson to be learned from this is that leadership isn't valued or respected and why bother standing up for the city you rule over
I'm so old, I remember that, too. If only we were so lucky again.
I sense a bit, well a lot, of racism here
President Trump’s deployment of military troops and federal agents to DC is not about increasing public safety — it’s a blatant attempt to abuse his power to serve his own political agenda. To truly protect the people living in our nation’s capital, Congress must make DC a state immediately.
Our demand remains: all escalated federal forces out NOW. #FreeDC
That's what I was thinking. How much 💰 was flushed down the toilet on that thing. 10 figures?
The USDA banner was only up for a few weeks. They took it down to power wash the facade and it hasn't been back up since.
I agree. Our situation in DC could hardly be worse. We live in a police state and DC residents are being kidnapped off the street by masked thugs. Her approach from Day 1 is let Dump do whatever he wants. As long as she gets her stadium deal...
How does she know how to "handle" Trump?
We are too
Trump: fascism time Bmore Mayor: fuck off Md Governor: fuck off DC Mayor: “DC Mayor Bowser on Wednesday credited President Trump's directed surge of fed. law enforcement. ‘We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city.’” We have a Vichy mayor
Paging Muriel Bowser
Hey @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social, how practical is a campaign to recall the mayor right about now?
She needs to be recalled now
Is this Ninja Gaiden for NES?
Can we start a recall effort to get Muriel out of office? She's totally cool with the feds turning DC into a police state. We need better leadership NOW.
What's the ideal percentage of wool in a men's suit?
Look, I get it: having masked goons arbitrarily disappearing friends and neighbors off our streets is concerning to say the least. But look on the bright side—if you’re still here in 2030, the Commanders will be too!
She's jealous she wasn't invited to the Politboro ass kissing meeting yesterday.
Screw you traitor @mayorbowser.bsky.social DC Dems you must removed this horrible woman from political office
yeah, you know, it's actually true -- violent crime is out of control in our cities. it's just that there's not a single elected Democrat in office who wants to go after the criminals.
She is revolting. She will do whatever they want because it will allow her to remain a figurehead and collect a fat paycheck.
UUGGGHHHHH just the worst person for this moment.
They should just have another 3-5 Honey Deuces
We're 2.5 months away from DST and @mlive.com is already pathetically chasing SEO clicks by positioning a DST story as it's #2 story on its webpage. What a disgrace.
They should be directing traffic, and not directing traffic to checkpoints.
WAMU is both sidesing Dump illegally firing Fed board member Lisa Cook. "Critics say it would be illegal." A once great station circling the drain.
Dump doesn't want to just kill Americans, he wants to kill Europeans too
Because the Post is a disgusting fascist rag that wants Dump to rule us like a king
Bade basically runs comms for the White House
Red flag for anyone
