85% of folks who live outside in DC are black. Trump's actions, like all of his actions, are racist and will harm Black and brown people the worst. That is part of their plan.

Your feelings today about Trump using federal power to target Black youth in the name of “fighting” crime would be the same as they would have been in 1989 toward the Central Park Five. wtop.com/dc/2025/08/tru…

The Washington Post is losing its prestige as fast as Bezos can buyout the few real journalists they have left. But it should still be a tremendous stain on US journalism that so many journalists silently stood by while Israel massacred their colleagues.

Turns out when you flood the streets with improperly trained federal law enforcement, you get more random violence, not less washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…

"I think it’s unfair for the young people in the city. Give them more resources; all these resources that are going to stadiums and other places, why don’t you put a community center, or the community centers that we have, more funding into them?" wjla.com/news/local/dc-…

This is what Trump fans like @byrondonalds @judgejeanine Potomac Fever really want: a return to the days of white slave patrols putting Black people in chains like they are animals. This was never about public safety. It’s about conservatives reminding us who holds the whip.

BREAKING: President Trump says he will invoke a section of the Home Rule Act to take federal control of DC's Metropolitan Police Department and will use the National Guard to fight city crime, which he says is out of control at the same time the city says crime is down.

“If Trump believes DC is not safe and wanted it to be safer, he would stop the mass firings, & stop the cuts on SNAP, housing, healthcare, and education.” Harriet’s Dreams Free DC

Just like the right to an abortion, Democrats only care about DC statehood when they’re in opposition and never when they’re in power.

DC NOW: Noise Demo at corporate media HQ (including. NBC, Fox, Sky, etc) right after Vigil for Anas al Sharif & 227 Palestinian Journalists killed by Israel since Oct23 Goal is to impact sound on news segments & remind them to do their job & stand up for journalism & humanity

This is the 2003 Iraq War all over again. People are not going to greet occupiers as friends. This will likely create more violence, not less. How does anyone still respect David Frum?

The conventional wisdom is that socialists need to moderate to win votes. But Sanders showed in 2016 there is an appetite for socialist policies. That was with the DNC working *against* him. The antidote to right-wing populism isn’t milquetoast centrism, but left-wing populism.

YES! Because shrinking and appeasing doesn’t work with bullies. This should have been obvious from the start.

The Heritage Foundation and the Biden administration were on the same page when it comes to police brutality and the carceral state. Remember it’s not left versus right—it’s the people versus the ruling class, and the ruling class have a very developed class consciousness.

GO HOME FASCISTS

THIS IS WILD THAT WE ARE DOING THE DEVILS WORK on our dime. Mayor Muriel Bowser

So what we are not going to do is blame DC's young people for Trump's fascism. Fascists always blame the victim for their actions. Always. It can be a real event. It can be fake. It doesn't matter. Fascists will do what they want and justify it however they want. THAT IS FASCISM.

This has probably been retweeted a 100 times by now, but this is why Trump and Fox can never be specific about the people purportedly thanking him for the occupation of DC. They learned a few years ago not to rely on unfiltered citizen testimonials (the Pirro link is too obvious)
