Yep.

It's also when, on an otherwise peaceful evening, a large group of National Guard stands by DC residences with rifles--as they did last night at 4th and E. Cap. @mayorbowser.dc.gov @chmnmendelson.bsky.social @thehillishome.com

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Standing here in the pouring rain, and the scheduled D36 just disappeared from the map when it was supposed to arrive in 6 minutes. Now it’s 17 more until the next one. I will defend transit use until I die, but @wmatagm.bsky.social ‘s rah-rah needs to address that the bus system is still subpar.

Not sure. When I did a search on Charlie Kirk quotes, this is one of the first hits I got but I didn’t find this one either: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump's militarization of DC is not about safety.

It's about suppressing Black leadership, stopping Black progress & criminalizing Black & brown youth.

If Republicans actually cared about safety, they'd invest in prevention, mental health, & community-based supports that keep people safe. #FreeDC
