Thank you for welcoming me in to celebrate the vibrant, beautiful culture and community that does so much for our city. 🇩🇴

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

I don’t understand the motivation here. Is he testing this out for future use? Is he trying to get folks used to the idea of martial law for when he uses it to postpone elections? Is he trying to incite violence like he did in LA but failed, or is this just police state stuff?
Trump announces he's taking over the DC police department to rescue the city from "crime, bloodshed, and bedlam."
Violent crime in DC reached a 30 year low in 2024 and is down sharply again this year.
