Saw an image today that got me hot. First time seeing it. I was born & raised in DC. The symbolism of architecture and monument in the city becomes like bone to folks who grow up around it. You know it’s there, you feel it, it shapes you, but you don’t too often meditate on it.
Only after I’d gotten older and had left DC for NY, did I come to appreciate the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial. I walked past it one day when back home with my kids, and it struck me. It’s my favorite now.

Mind-blowing to think that control of the US federal government is in the grip of a repugnant, racist, neo-fascist, lifelong conning failure and his gang of other mediocre humans, many from his own family, and all because of a minority of voters.
This mewling silver-spoon slumlord dork, whose greatest achievement was buying the 666 bldg w/ inheritance from his sociopath/felon father, heads US crim justice 'reform' (etc) because he married a 5th Ave ditz with a fake jawline & fake tits. Weird shit.
