Baltimore Mayor to Trump: Don’t Send Your Troops

/

When Brandon Scott took office in late 2020 as one of the youngest mayors in Baltimore’s history, he pledged to reduce the number of homicides and incidents of gun violence. That year, there were 335 reported homicides in the city of roughly 600,000 people, making it one of the most dangerous cities per capita in […]

Shoulder-Checks and Smoking Weed: The Petty Crimes Being Prosecuted Under Trump’s DC Crackdown

/

“Good afternoon,” is how Magistrate Judge Heide Herrmann welcomed detainees into DC Superior Court room C-10 when it was their turn to stand in front of the bench on Monday. But at 8:37 p.m., it was hardly “afternoon” anymore. Nor was it a good day for most of the inmates. They had been brought over […]

/

Wednesday’s fatal shooting of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was greeted with widespread grief, horror, and shock by many MAGA and right-wing figures, some of whom counted Kirk as a friend or cited him as an inspiration for their own work. But while many simply expressed their grief for Kirk and his family, and politicians on […]

The One Crime Trump Doesn’t Seem to Have a Problem With? Domestic Violence.

/

Speaking at the Museum of the Bible on Monday, President Donald Trump repeated one of his favorite falsehoods as of late: That his deployment of the National Guard in Washington, DC, has virtually eliminated crime in the nation’s capital. That is, of course, not true. But if that outright falsehood was not egregious enough, consider […]

Baltimore’s Mayor Slams Trump Troop Threat: “What We Want From the President Is Very Simple.”

/

President Trump is planning to ramp up his federal reach into local enforcement after first flooding the streets of DC with National Guard troops, and this week he promised to send troops to more cities—including Baltimore.

Trump Threatens to Invade More American Cities

/

President Donald Trump’s DC takeover has proven to be broadly unpopular among residents and seemingly counterproductive. But the president has never been deterred by facts—and he is now setting his sights on additional cities where violent crime has already been falling. The Washington Post first reported on Saturday that the Pentagon has for weeks been […]

Trump’s Military Occupation of DC Crashes Into Reality—Literally

/

Watch out, Chicago drivers. A recent collision of a red-light-running, 14-ton, mine-resistant armored vehicle with an SUV on Capitol Hill isn’t the biggest news involving the federal takeover of Washington, DC, but it’s a tidy metaphor reflecting the counter-productive, heavily militarized, anti-crime display that President Donald Trump has embarked on. Overriding Washington, DC’s, democracy in […]

I Live Where DC Crime Actually Happens. Here’s What Trump Is Missing.

/

On August 3, someone was shot about five blocks from my house in Washington, DC. Just two nights before, we had called 911 because of gunfire nearby—not an unusual occurrence. A week later, someone was murdered six or seven blocks away, in broad daylight. My neighborhood also has the usual urban scourges: porch pirates, the […]

As Feds Flaunt Trump’s Takeover, DC Pushes Back

/

In a small park in northwest Washington on Friday, a group of what appeared to be eight federal agents posed for a picture in front of an anti-ICE banner. Then they tore down the sign and departed with it. In its place they appeared to have left a dildo. We can’t be sure how much […]
