New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

DC guards were not likely going to be violent towards DC residents (like CA guards were reluctant to harm LA residents). So they are bringing in kids from the red states for what now looks like a de facto occupation which could get even uglier …

Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

'A plurality said they believed crime rates in U.S. cities have “increased a lot” (37%) or “increased a little” (18%) since 2020.' Or, put another way: More than half the U.S. population believes the opposite of the truth. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Do Americans back Trump’s takeover of DC police? Here’s what a new poll found

Trump announced he would federalize the capital’s police department under the Home Rule Act, a 1973 law that grants the president emergency police control for a 30-day period.

As DC was taken over by Trump’s secret police, where were congressional Democrats? They weren’t in DC and some weren’t even in the US. Instead of fighting back against the authoritarian takeover here at home, 22 House “Democrats” were being spoon-fed lies about Gaza on a trip paid for by AIPAC.

A useful WaPo map of where Trump Storm Troops are actually operating in DC. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... If you know DC, what this map tell you is: They're making the gaudy show of strength in areas where it matters least and will do least good. Except for sheer spectacle.

Creating a "national police force" was for decades a right-wing bogeyman, the feared unconstitutional federal usurpation of states' rights, the very thing "support your *local* police" and fetishizing elected sheriffs was all about.

"Republicans are a death cult" isn't hyperbole, it's a statement of fact. Why would anyone want to know *less* about our Earth? Because knowing about changes to our climate, storms, land, water, and air saves lives and makes lives better, and they hate that, they want death and destruction.

"But crime in DC is down!" isn't a direct counter, because the fascists define "criminal" not as "person who committed a crime," but as "person I hate, due to their race, gender, religion, political stances, or whatever I feel like."

People’s brains are fried by the 15 stories a year of a cyclist hitting a pedestrian but completely ignore the 40k per year that are killed by cars. News is news because it’s different from the norm. But the process of reporting tricks our lizard brains into thinking what’s in the news is common.

Trump refused to call the National Guard on January 6 and lied about it under oath. In DC there are only two people who can deploy the guard, the president and the secretary of defense. These are the 14 times they denied the guard on January 6.
