Data doesn’t support your hate speech. Undocumented migrants crime rates are way lower than the citizenry. And by law, simply entering without docunets is a misdemeanor & not a felony. Get educated. reason.com/volokh/2025/...

The privileged don’t get it. They have not lost their jobs, or had loved ones disappeared. They are not struggling to make rent or mortgage. They still have their health insurance. So they don’t get it.

We are in a fascist state of affairs. Dunno, why you keep using the future tense. Please don’t wait till they dump you in prison without a trial to declare it. Speaking up while you have your privilege is more useful.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

First, we will regain our dignity instead of being drawn into the muck by a fascist collaborator. Second, after 30 days, Trump needed a Congressional approval, which he doesn’t need now thanks to Bowser! Finally, she was screwing the residents before this as well & it’s time for her to go.

My comment has nothing to do with purview. Of course DC does not enjoy the sovereignty. Should not stop the Mayor from at least speaking up. She has been in an appeasement mode, right from the beginning. That strategy won’t help us anymore than speaking up will.

6% of DC voted for Trump. It’s repeatedly rejected him. His hatred for DC is white-hot. What he does Monday comes exclusively his from hatred for nonwhites and other citizens who reject him. It has nothing to do with violent crime rates in DC—which are plummeting dramatically.
