“The force would consist of 600 National Guard troops, split into two battalions of 300 based in Alabama and Arizona, each covering half the country. Troops would be on permanent 24/7 standby, with the first 100 soldiers ready to deploy in 60 minutes, followed by additional waves within hours.”

Statistics show crime has reduced in DC. I've seen several people on TV today stating they don't "feel comfortable" in DC at night. This seems to be a case of perception. Every one of those people that I've seen on TV are white. White people are scared of Black people. It's just that simple.

I don't want to fearmonger but as a born and raised Virginian: if they are successful overturning Obergefell, they will call the Loving ruling into question next. Do not let them.

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

DC Is the Test Case. America Is the Target. The Capitol is occupied. This is eerily similar to an insurrection organized by the same man on January 6th, 2021. The difference? Last time, Trump was armed with civilians; now, he has a police force. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...
