What’s craaaazy to me is that a Minnesota state rep was ASSASSINATED and nothing even remotely close to this happened there
Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped.

Some police are wearing “HSI police” vests (Homeland Security Investigations)

Little Rock, the capital city of Tom Cotton's home state of Arkansas, has one of the highest violent crime rates of any city in the United States.

D.C. doesn't even crack the top-10.

We are seeing in real time why DC needs the full power and protection of statehood.

Deploying the National Guard to a state without a request from state leaders is unlawful.

The fact that he could do it in the capital city is a massive vulnerability to our entire national democracy.
DC statehood shows Dem weakness goes back a while.

Occasional lip service, but barely even that, and effectively took the stance that hundreds of thousands of US citizens should be disenfranchised because it’s unfair that they’d elect Dem Senators, which would make the Senate less disproportionate.

For all intents and purposes, D.C. has now lost local control of its police department.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

one thing im totally baffled by is how many people around me are totally blasé / not attuned / not frightened by the political situation? maybe if you're not directly affected it's easier to ignore & just think things are normal? the disconnect is so insane

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Right wing “Christians” are attacking bishops who call for mercy, defending or giving Nazi salutes, and giddily cheering for deportations, all while continuing to pretend that THEY are the ones who are being persecuted.

Damn them all to Hell.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Back in August, when @propublica.org and @documented.net obtained these training videos, this is what Leavitt had to say about Trump and Project 2025:

“As our campaign leadership and President Trump have repeatedly stated, Agenda 47 is the only official policy agenda from our campaign.”
