An amazingly good list of recommendations

Trump takes over MPD and deploys the National Guard City leaders have called the move a "manufactured intrusion on local authority."

In an almost unprecedented move in D.C.’s 50-year experience with self-governance, President Donald Trump on Monday took control of the Metropolitan Police Department, putting its 3,100 sworn officers under his direct command for the next 30 days. 51st.news/dc-trump-mpd...

god that movie fucked me up. shiver

No actually. People should see these pictures.

No fucking cops or corpos at pride. Ever.

The District of Columbia is under attack today — not from violent gangs or thieves, but by the President of the United States.

The President's weaponization of the Home Rule Act is a direct attack on the 700,000 residents of DC and we will not stand for it.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Imagine if "combating homelessness" meant housing people, not brutalizing and disappearing them.

Crime rates in all three cities have gone down, and in Baltimore at astounding levels, in part by treating crime as a public health crisis, rather than a "need more cops" crisis. popular.info/p/the-secret...

exxxcellent

DC is FORTY-ONE PERCENT Black.

Do you understand?

vampire novel! 🦇 yessss

I lived under martial law while I was growing up. I will not minimize the gravity of what the Trump admin is doing in DC. Nobody (and I do mean nobody) should.

The only place in DC where crime is up is the White House.

This is hair-on-fire territory. Not enough journalists are reporting on this massive fascistic threat. #NoFascistUSA

Do not dismiss authoritarian displays as “distractions.” He is putting up guardrails to protect his unchecked power.

Trump Administration Live Updates: President to Deploy National Guard in Washington, D.C.

BREAKING: It’s official. The Trump regime will deploy the National Guard in D.C.

Let’s be clear about what this is.

This is NOT about homelessness or crime.

This is an authoritarian regime using the US military to seize a Democratic city, terrorize its residents, and lock up Black & Brown people.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

the humble hotdog evolved from the hotwolf, a culinary artifact we no longer dare confront

A trans service member forced out at 15–18 years instead of retiring at 20 could lose:
• $1M+ in lifetime pension payments
• $450K–$750K in medical coverage value

Octavia E. Butler said, “We don’t have to wait for anything at all. What we have to do is start.” Word.

The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

Netanyahu announces plan to take over Gaza City in further escalation Proposal that needs to be approved by full cabinet would mean stationing troops in approximately 25% of territory

Atrocious from Netanyahu, who presumably won’t stop until every living Palestinian has been bombed, starved, displaced or murdered. War crimes in plain sight, as Starmer et al look on and whisper the world’s feeblest condemnations. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
