D.C.'s falling violent crime stats, as seen in a new @washingtonpost.com graphic.

There's no denying the city had a spike in violent crime in 2023, as President Trump was campaigning for president.

There's also no denying that it already has receded.

Trump's attempt to militarize and federalize D.C. is an incredibly dangerous acceleration of his fascist takeover of the nation

AND

It's clear he's pursuing it to distract from the Epstein Files

His craven personal self-preservation is driving this escalation and that makes it all the scarier.

This Fourth of July, I am thinking about the 139 civil servants who took an oath to uphold the constitution and the EPA’s mission, and were placed on leave for raising concerns about issues such as deregulating asbestos and lead exposure.

This is un-American. The 1st amendment exists for a reason.

EPA just suspended 139 staff for signing a “Declaration of Dissent” against Trump-era policies. Escorted out like criminals—for defending science and climate truth. This isn’t discipline—it’s a purge. Authoritarianism in a lab coat.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Unitarian Universalist here, ready to fuck this up real good.
So, liberal parents who can ground their beliefs in religion (many do) can opt out of:

- abstinence only education
- Baby Olivia videos
- reading Ayn Rand
- any class that talks about Donald Trump or this Supreme Court

This is going to be fun.

(And by "fun" I mean "utter and complete nonsense").

Justice Sotomayor’s dissent in today’s birthright citizenship case is a wake up call for all of us: “No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates”
 
SCOTUS is essentially deciding to look the other way as Trump infringes on our rights and breaks our laws.
