Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

That's not at all what's happening on the ground here. Fed law enforcement is acting in far more aggressive ways than in the past. As a resident, the troops are more philosophically problematic but the feds are doing more harm.

Yes fed law enforcement is always here but they have deployed in meaningfully different and far more aggressive ways during the surge/occupation. I'm not making a legal argument as to their presence but descriptively this is not business as usual or just "enhancement" as Mayor is calling it.

Sunday evening witnessed armored vehicles, camo agents, long guns and auto weapons used to supposedly execute a warrant down the block. I've lived here 15+ years, seen plenty of law enforcement activity, but never like this. Shocking to hear this deemed mere "enhancement" of normal MPD activity.

Thank you!

The "federal v local" tension is sometimes of interest. Looking at this closure in that light is simply obscuring the animosity that is the guiding force here.

This "federal v local city" framing of the closure of Dupont for Pride is completed detached from what this admin is doing here, now. Who are these "all Americans" you think are crying out for the closure of Dupont Circle during WORLD PRIDE (and why aren't the USians attending part of that "all"?

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.

Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

I hope you are able to get your online donation portal up and running asap!

Good time to remind people that SSI recipients, by law, cannot keep more than $2,000 in savings and keep receiving payments. By definition, by design, they cannot afford to not receive a check.

This is going to be like JD trying to ski in Vermont times 100,000 type A dc school parents

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Last month, our investigation of notorious landlord Sam Razjooyan revealed allegations of a slew of deceptive practices. Now we're asking: what could the DC government do to make life harder on landlords like him?

The city has the tools, but isn't using them.
