A federal judge ruled the Trump administration had “exceeded the bounds of [its] authority" in deploying the D.C. National Guard, and lacked the authority to call up out-of-state Guardsmen to patrol in D.C.

So @alexvitale.bsky.social, who wrote THE END OF POLICING (which I cite heavily in my forthcoming book THE OVERSEER CLASS), has been tapped to join Mayor-Elect Mamdani’s Transition Team to work on “community safety issues.”
This is an extremely promising development.

Big Pharma has sent over 500 lobbyists to D.C. with one goal: protect their profits, even at the expense of patients and taxpayers.
They are actively trying to undermine Medicare drug price negotiations.
Costs will keep going up because of their unbridled corporate greed.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Israel has violated the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days—killing 342 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.
That's more than 11 violations every single day.
The genocide never stopped. Palestinians are still being killed.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.
The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.
Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

When federal agents shoot people in D.C., there are few details – and little accountability

Normalizing the use of military troops for domestic law enforcement sets a dangerous precedent.
No President should be empowered to disregard states’ independence and deploy troops anywhere — with no check on their military power.
This federal overreach is not normal or legal.
