For every mayor concerned about how this push might affect your city, now is the time to do a professional review of your police department and weed out the fascists at every level, contracts be damned. You'll have a contractual out for fascists.
The administration celebrating Wounded Knee is congruent with the administration asking for dismissals or one-day sentences for cops convicted of civil rights violations. It’s part of a coordinated message.

An organizer from CASA whose name i did not catch spoke about the way ICE is ravaging her community. A man detained on his way to a dialysis treatment. Her own nephew in ICE custody: they do not know where he is. Her voice is full of emotion; I don't know how she held it together

Nevertheless, she says, we can and will win. We will use our power as jurors, consumers and workers

Rev Kieth Burns gave a firey sermon on Trump's "violations of justice and compassion." God, he declares, is not pleased! And yet, this struggle has brought the community together and shone a spotlight on DC's status

Afterwards, we heard from the first Black female mayor of DC: Sharon Pratt. She linked our current crisis with the Declaration of Independence, signed almost 250 years ago, which she correctly describes as an act of treason. The Free DC movement is a continuation of that tradition

Trump plans to attend the US Open Mens Final. In NY. Tomorrow. If he's announced to the crowd, he'll be booed. Apparently, under pressure from Trump's team, the Open has emailed broadcasters asking them to censor protests.
I hope there's so much sustained booing for so long, that play gets delayed.
