Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

no strategy, no rallying cries, no CTA, just a blended onslaught of federal and state actors with confusing criteria for inclusion. it's "here, have an unreadably tiny bulleted list, so we can say both 'get off our fucking backs' and 'hope this pleases you elon' at the same time"

they rolled up a hundred deep at the doe and are entirely halted by the skinniest baldest brownshirt cosplayer, already wounded with a children's colorful band-aid on his neck. "what could we possibly do?? there was one guy there, saying no!"
