I still wish I was there, but I am watching the District of Columbia event live (via the link above), and I've reposted photos friends have shared of the event and sent the live feed link with each one.

In Fort Worth there are a lot of folks taking the Portland, OR, tip and have attended in lots of clever costumes. Ridicule Trump and ICE and the sycophants who support them.

Journalists may no longer do any independent reporting on the Pentagon. They may only report statements that the Pentagon produces.
All the journalists have now left the Pentagon. Trump's News One will now be the mouthpiece for the Pentagon.

What this policy does for the military could be applied to other agencies in the future.

For a journalist to report anything the Pentagon has not reviewed could result in espionage charges.

Yes, this is unconstitutional as usual.

Quoted by Janis Ian (yes, that Janis Ian!) on her FB Page today…

”QOTD: Jason Bateman is right. It's time to start calling out his voters, not him.

“Trump voters just increased the deficit by 5trillion dollars."
'Trump voters just deported a kid with cancer."
"Trump voters just approved kicking 13 million people off health insurance."
"Trump voters are excited about selling off our public lands."

They don't get to hide behind their votes. They knew what they were voting for and they are responsible for the consequences.”

Not much to argue with there…

Today, Republican Senators will have lunch in the Rose Garden; however, all the rose bushes have been destroyed. Trump had it paved over.

They say some old guys need more ball room.

Trump demands a military response to arch enemy cities such as Portland, Chicago, and LA, which are hotbeds of violent insurrection.

So far, the insurrections are devilishly invisible except for people running from ICE.

What Trump truly wants is for people to fall in line and not resist stormtrooper fascism in the street and near detention camps.
It does not matter if Congressmen, children, or old ladies are arrested in this show of power. Trump is not above deporting people to God knows where. I wouldn't rule out Trump deporting Americans and Palestinians to Greenland in December.

I've cracked it about the bowling-alley ballroom: it's simple Vlad Envy.

From the comments about a different outrage (qv):

Judging by the image of the proposed interior, my guess is that Trump is envious of the interior of Putin's Kremlin and all the pomp of his long walks with soldiers opening enormous doors for him as he attends gatherings of the faithful to tell them how wonderful Russia is. Trump is on a deadline, he has to get it finished in 3 years so that he can do the walk from the Oval Office to the Ballroom to address his acolytes on camera before his (legal) term or his ability to walk, expires. Imagine how he would feel if the first actual president to use his big beautiful ballroom was a Democrat?

The ceiling of the Grand Ballroom has inspired Trump to hire the same painter who did the Sistine Chapel. The theme will be the ascendancy of Trump. I can't wait to see the grand opening of the ballroom so America can watch how Trump dances.

Well said. We all should realize that there is; no compliment, no award, no amount of obsequious sycophantic loyalists, no high office that will fill the hole in Trump's psyche.
The deep-seated inconfidence and feeling that he has been shit upon by his peers has left an unquenchable feeling of inadequacy that will never be overcome. Even being a King will not be enough. He will forever need revenge and retribution.

Even his latest White House AI-generated animation of him wearing a crown while piloting an airplane over the NO KINGS demonstration and releasing a shitload of shit on the protestors below reveals his psyche in no uncertain terms.

Serial killers often start by torturing and killing animals. Narcissistic psychopaths might begin by torturing individuals. Trump has done this to races he despises, killing people in boats, and will continue to progress while never satisfying his need to punish.

He looked down on the ground and he saw his own shadow
He saw his shadow was the same as every other ass hole,
And when he got to moving he had 6 bankruptcies.

Epstein crawled up on the young girl's back

Trump got his hands around the cash from a casino
And he ripped off the beast till the place was dead
And dreams of supremacy danced around Donald's head.
… If I had my way,
If I had my way in this wicked world,
If I had my way I would tear the White House down.
… Melania was a woman, she was fine and fair
She had lovely looks, God knows, and cold black hair
Melaniah climbed up on the Donald's knee
And said "tell me where your strength lies, if you please"
She talked so fine, she talked so fair,
Trump said to Melania, its in my hair,
Dye it orange just as bright as you can
And my strength will be like a super man.
… If I had my way,
If I had my way in this wicked world,
If I had my way I would tear this building down.

The evil lies in the coalition of loyal followers, encouraged to be as ruthless and dangerous as possible. The law of the jungle was suspended by people who developed law, but now even the people are returning to the law of the jungle, which is kill or be killed.

Jack Dart’s opinion-piece on FB…

”Mamdani wins it, and the world breathes a collective sigh of relief.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York set the pace for the rest of the country. A Muslim, Ugandan-born, Indian-origin Democratic socialist winning the most powerful city in America was more than a surprise. It was a statement that the United States has not given up on progress or on democracy itself. His campaign united young people, workers, and immigrant communities who wanted fairness and decency to matter again. What followed across the country showed that they are not alone.

The results were extraordinary. Democrats swept to victory in states and cities that had been written off. They broke Republican control in Virginia, expanded their majority in New Jersey, and gained ground from the South to the Midwest. This was not a protest vote but a rejection of the authoritarian direction Donald Trump has been driving the country towards. It proved that even in the face of suppression, intimidation, and propaganda, Americans are still prepared to fight for their democracy.

Trump’s regime has spent years trying to tighten its grip on power. Federal agencies have been purged, voting rights attacked, and dissent punished. He has relied on fear to hold his movement together, insisting that only he can defend the nation from chaos while creating chaos himself. Yet when voters were given the chance to speak, they chose something else. They chose governors and mayors who believe in housing, education, healthcare, and accountability. They chose a future that looks beyond Trump’s control.

Predictably, the excuses followed. His supporters flooded social media with claims of interference and rigged ballots, recycling the same conspiracies that have defined his movement for years. Each time they lose, they insist democracy itself is broken, as though the only legitimate outcome is their own victory. Yet the results cannot be denied. The far right was defeated, and the people they tried to silence turned out in greater numbers to prove it.

The victories this week were not only about party politics. They revealed the persistence of a public that refuses to be ruled by fear. Even under a government that has used its power to suppress, intimidate, and divide, millions stood firm in defence of their rights. Mamdani’s win in New York embodied that strength, not as a spectacle of identity, but as a reaffirmation that solidarity, when organised and sustained, still has power.

Trump’s authority has begun to crumble. The structures he built to tighten his control are still there, but they no longer command the fear they once did. Americans have seen the damage his movement has caused and are standing their ground. The results on Tuesday night were not a flicker of resistance but the start of a reckoning. Authoritarians can seize offices, but they cannot own the future. That will belong to those who still believe in democracy, and who refuse to let it die quietly.

Well done America. ????”
