Trump just said he is “cleaning up” American cities at his news conference. He’s not wrong. With nothing else to do, National Guard soldiers are quite literally picking up trash in DC…

srsly @srslynvm.bsky.social

Hot take: I do kinda think police would be better served cleaning up trash. I’d rather have Portland police clean up roadways and landscape areas, we’re already paying them as public servants and according to Trump’s NG in DC, cleaning up trash is a crime issue.
