As a DC native and current nearby resident, I’m a little concerned that opening your post with this level of melodrama is not going to be helpful in the long run. The police presence here so far is all for show at visible locations, and is nothing near as bad as it was in 2020, nor as bad as it is almost definitely going to get, and soon. Do you not think people who have heard these overwrought doomsday laments will call it hyperbole when we are actually being asked for our papers or prove our business in town to get on the Metro?
That said, I am grateful for the visibility you are bringing to our local issues here and only wish it didn’t come at the whim of a dictator to help him distract from his current Epstein and economic woes. If you are sincere in this empathy, perhaps you will take a stronger stance on DC statehood and the level of representation in their own government the citizens of this country deserve.
His idea of crime is wildly different from rational thought.
That is a fact.
Yes distraction that is practice all the time it's time we understand the rhythm
All eyes on DC? Let’s take advantage of this. DC-ers, put big signs up everywhere: TRUMP IS A LIAR. CRIME RATE AT AN ALL-TIME LOW.
