The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Festive at 14th and T NW for the #WorldPrideDC parade! #worldpride2025 #worldpride #loveislove

Hey, #MAGA: I would be really sad if there are thunderstorms the day of the fuhrer’s parade - next Saturday. Really, really sad. #sarcasm (photo @swarmin_swedes)

A study in symmetry at the Palais Royal today: #Paris

When sworn into office, the President, members of Congress, and Supreme Court justices – representing the three branches of U.S. Government – swear on a Bible to uphold the Constitution. That’s the law.

This. #economics101 youtu.be/vAwBDzGxpi8?...

A few snippets from #museelouvre in #Paris :

Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team has set its sights on the National Gallery of Art. Emissaries from Doge visited the premier cultural institution in Washington DC — which houses world-class collections of European and American art. www.ft.com/content/8bbe...

The Coulée Verte in Paris inspired NYC’s High Line: a reimagined garden scape and public park using derelict, elevated train tracks as a canvas. It is a beautifully tended and peaceful place, close to Bastille, where you can escape the crowds. I come here every time I’m in Paris – at least once.

#Paris churches and cathedrals during #Easter week:

U.S. officials sent migrants to a prison in El Salvador, calling them gang members. But we found little evidence of criminal backgrounds or links to a Venezuelan gang.

Ah, Paris. The happy dog lady passes through Le Marais, daily:
