    DC Police are under the control of the civilian side of the city, presided over by Mayor Muriel Bowser. How the fuck are they just being turned into the Trump admin’s henchmen? They have no business handling federal affairs.

      DC is fully funded by congress and the GOP has threatened to defund the city. It’s easy to criticize that from afar but going against Trump would mean a lot of pain and a lot of deaths.

      DC needs statehood.
