Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
Cool . Credit the photographer
If you want to send them any cash I suggest think if that’s something you endorse
Your local NPR affiliate is still calling it the Trump Kennedy Center if you live in D.C.
Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square
It’s a robot.
Cool. My electric mixer stirs faster than my finger

Currently trying to get door dash granny to bring me a burger. She’s busy apparently
They’re gonna hit vacuum on our taxes tomorrow . Those of us in the district of Columbia have zero representation in how our dollars are spent. But they’ll happily suck them up. I’m personally fed up with this shit
Fascinating
In the 1940s, notorious "underground queen" Odessa Madre ran a nightclub where she dealt in drugs, women, and drink. I got to write about the building, which is now home to D.C.’s only Black-owned LGBTQ+ club.

they blew up a school
My friends/family thought I was unreasonable for cutting people out of my life for voting for him. I think it was the most rational think I have done in my life.
He’s created a crisis cycle. We’ll be too busy worrying about the annihilation of an ancient society to worry about all the child rape
Working on my CV
So now on a new bi- weekly cycle of fear and abuse. Would be nice if congress would get their thumbs out of their mouths
Very very embarrassing to be a US citizen at the moment
No, waited for Leica until the 240s came out and got old and “ Affordable “
Approaching the 20th anniversary of the last time I pushed a roll of tri-x or any other stock through my cameras and then souped the film in my basement darkroom. Decades move faster than they ought to.
anyone attending the white house correspondents dinner is a fucking traitor
The correspondents dinner is the most corrupt meeting in Washington DC. You shouldn’t be partying with the people you are covering. I believe this to be true under both democrats and republicans. The dinner is corrupt. The participants are corrupt, the entire event is a tragedy.
Folks were banging pots and pans outside my building a couple hours ago . Just practicing?
Trying to keep them Happy
The death of April fools day as a thing is something I don’t mind in the least. The real world is dumb enough to.
Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General.
Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist.
Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.
