It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Solidarity from the over 700,000 residents of DC, who know something about taxation without representation #FreeDC
Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

Same in DC. It’s been two months.
Still constant helicopters overhead. Abandoned work trucks where neighbors have been kidnapped by ICE. Armed national guard walking the streets. Feds posting up in former unhoused spaces to keep people away.

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

The networks Stephen Miller intends to dismantle are "criminal justice reformers." Law enforcement is so thoroughly politicized to the right, they won't even push against this.

This is a great piece, but regarding "explicitly vowing to unleash the power of the American state on a vast, inchoate ideological group," isn't "the Global War on Terror" precisely that? Not a nitpick — given violence abroad + foreign-ization of dissenters at home, this is where it goes

To *actually* reduce crime, DC needs ICE to stop kidnapping people, NPS to stop driving recklessly in high-speed chases, our chief prosecutor to be accountable to the people who live here, and residents to trust that police will protect them, not deport them (100% with you on addressing root causes)

This was the most dangerous thing for DC residents as of three days ago: because of record long periods of dangerously high humidity, plus price increases caused by demand from data centers, my last two months of electric bills totaled $741.12
If you live in DC and are active on normie social media sites, you should be flooding the zone with videos of boring peaceful life in the city.

As a former unionized municipal employee myself, I always like to imagine what if teachers got the same media treatment cops do, but in this case it's actually literally correct that you could solve a lot of problems in education by staffing up
The thesis of the article is that because American cops are so terrible at solving murder (and getting much much worse than they used to be), "experts" believe the U.S. must spend massively more money on hiring police and surveillance.

We are going to see a lot of ppl claiming, understandably, that the BBB has now provided Trump w a massive ICE army.
That is incorrect.
It has provided him with the funds to TRY.
A 2017 DHS-OIG report said ICE would need to interview 500,000 ppl to get 10,000 new hires.
Not easy!

The overarching point to this thread and the threads of mine nested in it (sorry abt that) is this:
This is a poorly-designed proposal made by ppl w no interest in even cosplaying as serious policy makers.
Fascism on the cheap by the indifferent.
That does NOT mean be complacent!

Arlo Guthrie used to tell a story about two rabbits on the run from wolves, and they ran down and hid in a hole. The boy rabbit said "now what? There's a wolf over there, there's one over here, nowhere we can go!" And the girl rabbit said "welp, I guess we'll have to stay here. Til we outnumber 'em"
