Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

"What is wrong with you!"

"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

DC really doesn’t know how to deal with this brand new police state. They are shocked at the massive display of douchery in their streets.

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement.
The President does not run the Smithsonian.
The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law.
Release the Epstein files.

So immediately the Kennedy Center Honors become meaningless and disgraced. People of good conscience should refuse the "honor". Like the Presidential Medal of Freedom, having been given to individuals utterly lacking in any qualities to deserve it.

Anyone who accepts a Kennedy Center Honor in 2025 would have been a 'Good German' in 1939.

Ohio parents of kids with disabilities are receiving letters from the school board demanding they pay β€œextra” for their disabled children.

This is ableism and discrimination at its finest.

They weren’t even given adequate warning. Just 17 days to pay up.
