4TH DEATH in DC facilitated by local entanglement with federal cops. This loss is a horror, going mostly unnoticed so far. Thx tho @wtopnews.bsky.social for active voice -- sadly, an unusual practice for a city where Black men foo often "die following police involvement." @freedcproject.bsky.social
To best of my knowledge, we still don't have the name of the man US marshals killed in DC yesterday. But PLEASE NOTE that US marshals responded to this call to local police and they killed someone shortly after showing up. wtop.com/dc/2026/02/u...

According to a report leaked by @dropsitenews.com, the US, Israel and members of the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) are designing a mass detention camp, cynically called a “planned community” in Gaza. As Jews who know our history, we know the plan for a concentration camp when we see it.
