And if insurrection isn’t enough to disqualify someone from office by impeachment and conviction, then all other democratic institutions and processes exist more due to whim and inertia than as functional components within a constitutional system.

Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed.
This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda.

Some serious BS!!!
The Trump administration canceled grants for street safety, pedestrian trails, and bike lanes, citing that the projects “aren’t designed for cars.”
Trump Cancels Trail, Bike-Lane Grants Deemed ‘Hostile’ to Cars
The Trump administration canceled grants for street safety measures, pedestrian trails and bike lanes in communities around the country this month, each time offering a simple rationale for yanking back federal aid: the projects aren’t designed for cars.

It’s not just “where the government is.” It’s a real place with real people living in it. Reducing it to some playground of the elite and powerful is inaccurate and often racist

the dc metro area has a heart and a soul and it beats like so many others but the rest of this country treats us like our lives are just some background character for the Real Actors that are Politicians for some reason.

REPORTER: Gabbard has submitted a criminal referral. Who should the DOJ target?
TRUMP: It would be President Obama. And Biden was there with him ... the leader of the gang was Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. He's guilty. This is treason.

It is not supported by local immigrant justice groups.
Many local immigrants and immigrant justice groups have asked them to change the location because it puts the Latino community at risk. They said no.

It looks like the National Park Service paid Arcus Group $71,600 to install the fencing at Dupont Circle: www.highergov.com/contract/140...
It stayed up for less than 24 hours — in large part because people visibly and vocally rejected it, and demanded it come down.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

For people who live here, shutting down Dupont Circle for “safety” reasons would be like shutting down the Beltway to prevent car accidents — absurd, disruptive, and completely out of step with our community.

Now that a judge ordered the return of the $500m dollar building that MPD helped steal, do we get an apology from my CM, Brooke Pinto, for calling the thieves “new leadership”? Or a hearing on how MPD helped steal a building? Will MPD help return the building? #USIP @maustermuhle.bsky.social
Today I asked D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto about MPD’s role at the U.S. Institute of Peace yesterday evening, and she said police followed their “usual protocols” for claims of unlawful entry. But she says she is “reviewing the circumstances” around the call.

Also known as death flights. This is exactly what happened under Pinochet and Videla. Both of whom were supported by the US or-at least in Argentina's case- Henry Kissinger.
1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
