Thank you for doing this important work. I survived a suicide attempt in 2008, got sober in 2010 and life is good. There is hope and help available. You're awesome! I gave $50 to this tremendous cause. If I weren't a broke drummer I'd give more!

Despite its location two blocks from the busy H St corridor, this area of K - nestled between NoMa and Union Station metros - is a largely residential area, with long-term residents who know each other. This is a startling display.

The tone of this video is completely wild. It's filmed like a high school media class project. It looks like it too; the presentation and graphics are amateurish. And yet it's chilling, because she's a real government spokesperson dismissing reports of abuses in detention with finger quotes.
