A recent collision of a red-light-running, 14-ton armored vehicle with an SUV isn’t the biggest news involving the federal takeover of Washington, DC.
But it’s a tidy metaphor reflecting the counter-productive, heavily militarized display that Trump has embarked on while overriding democracy.

Trump's military occupation of DC crashes into reality—literally
Armored vehicles running red lights, feds busting residents for pot. All coming to a city near you.

This is such an outrageous not to mention idiotic lie. This whole charade would be a joke were it not also so dangerous.
Stephen Miller on DC residents: "For the first time in their lives, they can use the parks, they can walk on the streets. You have people who can walk freely at night without having to worry about being robbed or mugged. They are wearing their watches again."

Two hundred and forty-nine years later, many of the grievances levied against King George III apply to the reign of Donald Trump.
Here’s a look at how Trump stacks up against the Mad King.

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump.

The SAVE Act doesn’t save anything. Its main effect is to make it harder for women to vote, especially those like me who changed our names when we married.

What is happening in the US is a modern form of 1933 Book burning - Elimination of information on DEI & climate change
Next will be the Department of Education, i guess.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
