Proposing analog to,”racism can explain every weird thing in America” is, “women are busy working for money is the secret reason everything we miss about a society is now dying.”

I don't want to dunk-quote on this person, but actually, this is a perfect illustration of the problem. we can't become accustomed to or expect or concede constant monitoring from armed troops as we go about our business. it should always make us recoil. there's danger in it becoming unremarkable.
screenshot of a post that reads "Not to be all "you're getting sold" National Guard troops spend all day standing in out of the way corners of DC. Not great that they're standing in front of a ballot drop box, but c'mon, people, use some common sense. They're not stopping anyone from dropping something off." it is a quote-post of a post from the DC Council that says "this is clearly not acceptable" and features a photo of national guard members standing around a ballot box in Foggy Bottom

DC folks, if you film an arrest, especially one involving federal agents or National Guard, please make a report to Film the Police DC. @harrietsdreams.bsky.social and @dcmigrantmutualaid.org can then take action to help arrestees #WeKeepUsSafe www.filmthepolicedc.org

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.

Increased police-ICE connection fits neatly within the general stance many Americans have which, as I've said many times, boils down to "deport the bad ones and let the good ones stay." The problem is that those are not real categories and the Trump admin doesn't believe in any "good ones."

it I had to cite a key moment from Trump's speech, it would be this one. it is a threat not just to the Iranian government but to the Iranian people, and in that sense it contravenes both the international laws prohibiting war and the international humanitarian law that protects civilians

i guess Hannah-Jones(es) choice was between a better, whiter public and a worse, less-white public, not privates; that's an issue in DC too and the public charter system (which I think is pretty good here) worsens it by siphoning off families along the bad school/engaged parent frontier

Since we're all talking about schools, tomorrow the D.C. Council will vote on a ceremonial resolution recognizing 30 years of charter schools in D.C. Recall that charters came to be because of a partnership of congressional Republicans and D.C. advocates concerned about DCPS.
