Be afraid, but do it anyway

Let’s go…

Good morning! It’s Sunday, September 28th 2025, and Stephen Miller is still a fascist.

When fascists come knocking at your door, you don’t invite them in because they offered to help tidy up the place.

You tell them to go to hell and you slam the door shut.

Maybe they’ll break it down.

But your moral obligation is to resist, not assist.

Our focus in this dark time must be on protecting the most vulnerable members of our community, including our youth, our immigrant neighbors, the poor and the homeless. They’re the ones who will be targeted and who will suffer. This is how history will judge us.

Addendum: This training — which has nothing to do with me — contained 8 slides and asked me one question. I was able to complete the module in less than two minutes.

I.e., this is a total waste of everyone's time and resources.

OANC and BEGA need to work together to fix this.

Looks like I'm eligible for "BGA 928 - Negotiating Employment and Post Employment." This apparently satisfies my annual training requirement, even though it has nothing to do with ANC Commissioners, who are not employees.

Next up is "BGA 923 – BEGA Ethics Training" — also marked as completed by Commissioner Nassar.

How would anyone ever know?

However, that module has a different designation when you actually click through the view the catalogue: "BGA601-a92en." Is it the same? Does it satisfy the training requirement?

See below.

Supposedly, completing "BGA 925 – Financial Interests and Disclosure" satisfies the requirement:

There are a handful of training modules that can satisfy the annual requirement. Clicking on the first one says that it's already been completed — by the previous Commissioner.

The system also has the personal information of the prior Commissioner...

The required ANC ethics training does not exist...

Is Trump waging a war on dolls? It remains unclear how Trump’s tariff forecast that “maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls” will play out politically.

Ah yes, the America we all dream of: one where billionaire oligarchs tell poor kids they have too many dolls…

While our city is facing a budget crunch, our Mayor secretly negotiated a $1bil giveaway to a billionaire.

$181 million of it will be spent on parking.

I will never stop fighting for what is right and I will never apologize for standing up to bullies.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Rubio’s years of strong support for USAID stands in contrast to his sudden criticism of the aid agency | CNN Politics Secretary of State Marco Rubio, newly in charge of the besieged US Agency for International Development, was for years a staunch supporter of its mission while in the US Senate, reversing his views on...

Translation: Marco Rubio is a power hungry piece of shit.

Trump's proposal to take over Gaza is genocide — plain and simple, by the book. He must be stopped.

Sean is a YIMBY running for ANC in 2A09, one of the two seats discussed in this Hatchet article (the one with the "smut kingpin") gwhatchet.com/2024/12/21/t...

Hi! My name's Sean, I'm a software engineer living in Foggy Bottom, and I'm running to represent my neighborhood in ANC 2A. I support labor rights, tenant rights, good transportation, traffic safety, and affordable housing for all. You can learn more about how ANCs work in DC in the link below:

Well, Bruce got the exact number of write-in votes I predicted (not 50...), so I guess I don't owe him an apology. In fact, he got beat by someone who didn't even file a declaration...

Looks great!
