Governing by Police The Metropolitan Police Department in DC has been an essential component of Washington politics since its founding.

When President Trump declared that “crime is out of control in the District of Columbia” he echoed the guiding principle of DC policing uttered by Missouri Senator James S. Green back in 1858: “We must protect ourselves.” www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/gove...

Because certainly there's no reason why this history might be terrifyingly relevant right now, here's a link to preorder @stschrader1.bsky.social's "Blue Power" on how police in the US organized to exempt themselves from democratic oversight and control: redemmas.org/titles/48838...

WE WON: "This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall w/in..this district court squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in US..have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally “yes, they do.”"

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

The chance of seeing the National Guard on the streets of yet another U.S. city made me think of @stschrader1.bsky.social and his excellent book Badges without Borders.

Can Donald Trump Police the United States? In a trial over the legality of the President’s deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles, there may be a definitive answer to where his power ends.

Trials are rare these days, so we should pay attention when a judge holds one.

Yet what Judge Charles Breyer held last week was something else—a big chunk of it was a judge wrestling with the reality of a president with no power to set up a permanent, national police force.

Me in @newyorker.com.

Trump's 2 innovations in State Capitalism should get far more attention(imagine if left wing US govt did it!)
1 MP Materials: govt takes equity share & guarantees minimum prices & demand for a private company

2 NVIDIA: govt takes cut of revenue

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

For all of the educators trying to deal with AI, I did a deep dive in early June and these are the four articles I decided to assign to my students.

Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

Predictable, but no less shocking or reprehensible: Trump just signed an executive order urging states to forcibly institutionalize homeless people, defund Housing First, criminalize encampments, and cut aid to cities that don't comply.

Unreal. Academic freedom is dead.

So the next President will be able to dismantle Homeland Security without Congressional approval?
