Donald Trump has announced a press conference that will pretend to address a *fictional* rise in crime in Washington DC. In reality, it is just a big barrel of bullshit that will be used as a pretext for an authoritarian takeover of the city.

Also worth noting: They’re killing the media industry *first*. Techbros have been very clear that their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible. This is nothing more or less than an attack by the 1% upon the rest of us that, if left unchecked, will crash the global economy.

highly recommend "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1949). but be prepared for shocking newsreel footage within the feature film--tour de force of filmmaking perhaps at that time (?); powerful now when we are accustomed to slick synthetic movie violence & brutality we know to be unreal, meant to entertain.

After high school I attended Columbia College. I later moved to LA and spent 14 years writing TV shows for Paramount. Some of them ran on CBS. Now when I meet new people, I tell them I spent those years selling clean urine to parolees.

The American people sent us to Washington to unrig the system and make the economy work for them. Trump is doing the opposite—threatening economic stability, cutting media deals that reek of bribery, and turning the White House into a crypto casino. Americans deserve better.
