Yes. and I would like to believe that we will see that be a priority. However Trump is going to pardon everyone on the way out.

So either states need to prosecute (difficult) or we need real effort put into tribunals that ignore Trump's pardons, and I don't see Dems doing that for low level thugs

That would be nice (I don't believe him, but still)

The worst part is the guards will never suffer any meaningful consequences, when they should be spending years in prison

218 can unfortunately. You need 4Rs to.have some backbone, but alas

My kids’ school is on lockdown. Because of ICE. On fucking Halloween.

I hope every one of them is fucking miserable.

Yet here we are. And very few will refuse orders to go bash some heads

“There is a reason why federal agents know exactly where to do detentions and jumpouts. MPD has surveilled Black and Brown people in DC for years, and their collaboration has given feds a demographic and cultural map of our communities.” @dcmigrantmutualaid.org

A MPD cop lying? Say it isn't so. Honestly I'd be more surprised at any truth telling in a police report about a gun being fired.

“Wait till you get to the coloring portion of the test…it’s hard. You can only crayon inside the lines. Tiny lines. Let Jasmine try doing that”

Pretty sure he's referencing "law enforcement that is uniformly opposed to this", which is obviously and clearly untrue through their actions.

The actual people who did something (notably not law enforcement) deserve all the praise in the world.

“I have a lot of close contacts in law enforcement, and almost to a person, none of them support these actions

BULL and SHIT.

Thanks!

Oops, she blew by the match. No worries, donate to a local food bank

Honestly surprised he didn't have it dumped at Langston Golf Course. He seldom passes up an opportunity like that to be racist

He did call the cops, the guy was handcuffed and held for a bit. Unsurprisingly he is now suing the city

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

I just assumed it was AI slop from a different country. I assumed that was Dutch :-)

I assure you that there is zero chance a MPD officer will be held accountable. They are not held accountable for much more violent and obvious violations of the rights of DC residents. They are vaguely the good guys when compared to ICE/DHS, but they still are pretty bad

If they thought they weren't voting for that, they are as dumb as a box of rocks

Yes, but this is true of any education program of the past 30 years. Actually having standards is a good thing

learn things to pass classes. My district basically makes it impossible to fail, regardless of whether you learned anything in your classes. This seems bad.

I realize that I'm obliged to comment that it sucks that the state is not going to support schools and teachers in helping students meeting the new scores. That said I fail to see the problem with raising the low standards to slightly lower standards. I'd kill for students to actually have to

I sort of feel like if you protest with a mask to hide you identity you should probably not wear your rather distinctive glasses

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I bet a candidate could do well with “yeah, I said some awful things online when I was younger, but I see why it was wrong, and I’m familiar with extremist spaces online, how young men get radicalized by them, and what we can do about it.”

Less good is “it’s wrong of you to care about what I said.”

My 'I am not a Nazi' shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by what's under the shirt

“doesn’t have nazi tattoos” is actually an even lower bar than it appears at face value when you realize that most artists (correctly) won’t even *do* nazi tattoos, so you kind of have to go out of your way to find someone willing if you decide you want one.
