There are more than a million Dominicans in NYC, and yesterday on 6th Avenue I felt every bit of that pride. Thank you for welcoming me in to celebrate the vibrant, beautiful culture and community that does so much for our city. 🇩🇴

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

The National Guard in DC is nothing more than a distraction from the Epstein Files. Raping children is ok. Jan 6th was ok. Murdering classrooms full of children is ok Abusing innocents in LA and now Florida is ok I've never known of a more repulsive, ignorant or disgusting human - ever!

I don’t understand the motivation here. Is he testing this out for future use? Is he trying to get folks used to the idea of martial law for when he uses it to postpone elections? Is he trying to incite violence like he did in LA but failed, or is this just police state stuff?

Just a quick note: Federalizing the D.C. National Guard is not the same thing as “martial law.” I’m not saying that makes it good, but martial law is when the military *supplants* civil government, not just doing law enforcement. Don’t credit him with more power than he has (because he’ll take it)
