There’s so much more to this city than setting up pretextual checkpoints, harassing black and brown youth, threatening citizens for filming you, or tearing down pro-immigrant posters and replacing them with dildos in Mt. Pleasant. thebighunt.substack.com/p/a-dc-walki...

Fuck this
As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down.
In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...

It would be neat to have a mayor who felt as passionately about home rule and freedom as she does a football stadium.
Trump really has Bowser figured out. She's never been comfortable with the more left-wing politics of the council; she vetoed fare evasion decrim, delayed the sweeping reform bill so that Congress could kill it. And all she cares about is her football stadium legacy item.
DC this week has been a microcosm of such consequences, objected to by figured like Bowser without any whiff of how her objection to DC Council's legislation on criminal justice was in fact future permission, amplified by Biden and Trump, to send Federalized goons into the District to provoke fights

The best organizer is a bad boss, and if there’s any silver lining, it’s the hope that the news today will spur democrats to nut the fuck up and make DC and Puerto Rico states the first chance they get.

SKINNER: No, a DOGE guy named “Big Balls” got pounded into hamburger by a pack of rowdy teens, so the president is turning you into a traffic cop.

Congrats to the FBI agents who graduated from Quantico so they could bust teens on 4-wheelers and old dudes brown-bagging in the park.
As Trump shifts federal agents on to the streets of Washington, local leaders call it "unnecessary" and point to the stats

Today's announcement will put untrained and unaccountable members of the military in an untenable position in our communities. It’s unnecessary, unwarranted, & a dangerous escalation of power in the Nation’s Capital simply because he can.

Every story quoting Trump saying this is to "rescue our nation’s capital from crime" needs to note that violent crime in D.C. is down 26%, murders are down 12%, juvenile arrests are down 20%, and ask who will get hurt from a domestic military deployment and what this "crackdown" is really about
