The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city.
Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.

Just over an hour after 3 Supreme Court justices warned that Alabamian Anthony Boyd would suffer psychological torture, he was subjected to the longest nitrogen gas execution in US history, gasping for air more than 225 times. Read my eyewitness account: www.treadbylee.com/p/after-just...
After justices warned of prolonged suffocation, Alabama subjected Anthony Boyd to the longest nitrogen execution in U.S. history.
Boyd was the chairman of Project Hope, a death row-led nonprofit. Its members are left reeling in the wake of their leader's suffocation execution.

This goes to show, policing as it has existed has always been tyranny's foot in the door. If Democratic mayors could justify unaccountable, undemocratic, secretive state violence in some places, it's a much lower bar to justify it everywhere.
Mayor Bowser on Trump’s takeover—“How we got here or what we think about the circumstances—right now we have more police, and we want to make sure we use them”—is such a perfect summary of how such an embrace of policing is exactly how we got here, while refusing to consider that.

In 2014, Israel massacred more Palestinians in 50 days than the total amount of Israelis killed by Palestinians in the prior 30 years. This has never been about a "response" to October 7. Israel has been mass murdering Palestinians for 77 years

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like.
I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.

The Trump Administration kidnapped an activist in the middle of the night. Mahmoud Khalil's detention is a clear violation of the First Amendment. This is the behavior of an authoritarian regime, not a democracy. He must be released immediately.
