If you've spent money to travel to the National Capitol to attend Trump's Inaugural only to find out you're not invited anymore, I have some recommendations for things to do while you're in DC
You might take the time to visit the Viet Nam Memorial as many of your generation - maybe even you - participated in that non-declared war. You might also note that the man you came to see inaugurated managed to get five deferments from being drafted for that war.
I followed you on Twitter. I was suspended. Truly, I don’t even know why. And I don’t care. I won’t try to appeal. I don’t have a voice over there. Never did. Anywho, I miss you and all that you write. I’m over on threads, but it doesn’t get me where I wanna be. I will keep reading what you write and you send it. Thanks so much.
The official weather-caster for Monday’s Inauguration reports, “DC will be colder than a hunted witch’s tit.” 🥶 The Oath of Office will be indoors to avoid Trump’s icy C-cup snapping off while his hand rests on his Inauguration Bible - now on sale for just $99!
While they're at it, a stop at the National Museum of African-American History and Culture could offer a little perspective to balance the Faux News narrative about who is deserving and who is not. Who knows, they might join us in the regret of putting an incompetent elderly white felon in the place that an astoundingly-capable woman of color should have been.
Too bad he didn’t have the huevos to brave the cold! But you know how “Prentend Dicktaters” are! Look at Putin. Xi. Orban. Et fuckin’ al. They’re craven cowards, either with corpse like skin slathered with girlie orange makeup or some other porcine hue, that are frightened to DEATH of defending their Country in a time of fascistic war. Mostly it is the poor, the vulnerable, and those without resources whom serve their Country honorably—not goofy elderly golfers, big bellied, lil schmucks who rack up gilded trophies at their own ostentatious, chandeliered creepy as hell motels! So laughable if it weren’t so damned freakin’ tragic! I loathe you donald. I truly do.
Yes, I saw two farmers who came from the west and said Trump doesn't understand that you couldn't just leave and not feed their cows. So who's at home feeding the cows boys. Probably your wives. And who says those white farmers aren't backed up by hard working women.
who GAF what those mouth breathing moronic imbeciles do with their day? If someone is stupid enough to actually spend money to watch this pathetic puffy sorry excuse for a human being, pontificate for an hour, after voting for him b/c eggs, while the rest of us watch our rights ignite and burn along with everything this country stands for, that someone can go fk themselves.
Is Loudermilk the one who gave the tours in the basement of the Capitol where a guy was taking photos of entry and exits? I saw the clip but didn’t know who it was.
I was in DC today for the People's March, which was wonderful. People of all ages and a big tent of issues being expressed -- fighting for LGBTQIA+, reproductive, and immigrant rights, climate change, anti-militarism and anti-genocide, abolition, and more. It was good to be with kindred folks. I used to live in DC. One of my favorite statues is the one of Einstein in front of the National Academy of Sciences, near the Vietnam Memorial.
Tomorrow would be a great day for someone at DOJ to leak Volyme 2 of Jack Smith’s report so the stranded MAGA folks have something entertaining to read over the next couple days.

Absolutely brilliant writing and so well articulated. This really needs to be posted everywhere.
Love it.

Follow Allison on Bluesky. She's mainly posting on there now.
This is the way. Fuck threads. Dont let Zuck have any of your data.
Don't forget about the Holocaust Museum! You might learn a lot there!
Side note, i ordered a copy of Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl, so I have a reading companion next few years.
"You might learn a lot there!"
Well now you've just scared them away.
Went. Wow. Wordless.
I already learned it in school when it was taught in the old days.
If only the people who need to read this would be the ones reading it.
Well done and spot on!!
It’s really sad that those who need to read and comprehend this won’t or can’t understand it
Allison, this is a great composition. Well done 👏 I'll be sharing. Thank you for all you do.
AG, this was so funny. “Not in the fuckin’ club”. Perfect. Not sure they will get though.
Really enjoying your work.

You are so right, Mstr_Midnight. A significant omission in an otherwise strong essay. And we really needed President Harris!
I have a suggestion of what they can do if they’re stranded and no longer invited: go fuck themselves.
In the Face,( according to Elon), I think him adding in you face is the stupidest saying Ever! Maybe it's a S African thing?
Agreed. I think it’s just an idiot thing.
It’s from Tropic Thunder, a “comedy” to satisfy every young male’s lack of taste.
Kate, aha, thanks. Was wondering WTF that nasty, anatomically impossible phrase came from.
Thanks Kate! 😉
👏👏👏

"So laughable if it was so damn freakin tragic!" True words haven't ever been spoken Laura😥
If it Wasn't so damn freakin tragic! Damn you auto correct
Thank you, my compatriot! Enjoy our last day as a Democracy. But we’ll set ‘em straight, as I won’t rest until they’re all dispelled…,
Yeah. Too terrible, isn’t it….

Something for them to think about as they drive home instead of going to the inauguration.
Not wives. Immigrants are feeding the cows.
Great suggestions and beautifully articulated….too sad maga won’t (can’t?) read them.

I'm not sure you picked up what I was putting down in this piece. Loudermilk, Harrison, etc.?
Is Loudermilk the one who gave the tours in the basement of the Capitol where a guy was taking photos of entry and exits? I saw the clip but didn’t know who it was.
Yup. Likes to show off sconces as I recall
IYKYK 😉
I sure did. 100%. 😉
This piece was hilarious. I especially loved the mini WWII history lesson.

Thanks so much for showing up for the rest of us who can’t get to DC.
Don't forget to stop by to salute those Supreme Court Justices who valued allegiance to one man more than they valued women....or democracy.
Or the constitution they swore to protect. But there is no money to be made with that, right?
Very good advice. Are we making pamphlets to hand out?
Tomorrow would be a great day for someone at DOJ to leak Volyme 2 of Jack Smith’s report so the stranded MAGA folks have something entertaining to read over the next couple days.
Love this!
