Please tell us a band didn’t cover @lizzobeeating.bsky.social’s “About Damn Time” at the president’s parade? Then again, requiring him to get proper licensing (which they wouldn’t have gotten) is probably… illegal.

Four officers placed on leave as D.C. police release body camera footage of Black moped driver's fatal crash The death of 20-year-old Karon Hylton has sparked two nights of protests and violence in the city.

“We have very clear policies about no chasing," she said, according to WUSA-TV. "It should be obvious by now. Why? Because chases can be dangerous.” @MayorBowser 10/29/20

#KaronHylton www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/kar... @CBSNews @wusa9

Incredibly important! Essential to generational resistance, survival, and liberation. ✊🏾

Rest in love, beloved Kiah. Honored to fight for liberation alongside such an incredible freedom fighter.

To our @CivRightsCorps family, we send our deepest condolences. We’re here and ready to support whenever you need. Sending love and light to Kiah’s family and loved ones.

Absolutely! Powerful!!

He pardoned those MPD officers to distract from his J6 pardons.

The DC Police Union Chair is a far right leader who lied in a federal case FOR white supremacists in trials after his first inaguration.

THIS is policing.
