#FreeDC you assholes, NG has nothing to do with crime rates.
The drop in gun violence in DC following the Federal deployment starting in mid-August has more or less completely subsided.

An autocracy that doesn't pay its own military and fires its best people creates two things:

1. A weak and demoralized military.
2. A strong and highly motivated rebellion.

These guys aren't autocrating very well. I am ok with that.

Not for nothing Chicago is the home of the original Rainbow Coalition
"After the federal mass-deportation initiative dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz” hit the shelter, a meeting was held the next day. Black residents affirmed they stood with Latino residents and the raid impacted everyone. Afterward folks were less divided by race..."

"It's feminist to be a pick me girl, you guys!"
JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT:

“Being a conservative woman in a law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways shows more feminism than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a woman should be.”

Get the facts folks before your Thanksgiving dinner with your crazy uncle.
President Donald Trump claimed without evidence this week that California’s ballot measure on new Democratic-backed congressional maps, and the voting process itself, was “rigged.”

And regardless, these are extrajudicial killings, which is the point. They would still be extrajudicial killings whether or not they were all running drugs, which, as this points out, is absolutely in no way the case.

Truly cannot wait for this man to face an international war crimes tribunal.
This is the 16th strike of its kind this year — and at least 66 people are dead because of the government’s rash actions.

These extrajudicial strikes are illegal under both international and domestic law.
