Does DC Have a Vichy Mayor?

Washington, Colombia District, Mayor Muriel Bowzer has survived a quick transformation over the past three weeks. What began as a surrender to Trump’s military occupation in the city became something confused, incomprehensible and perhaps even sinister. The criminalization of the DC residents’ regime is no longer – according to its defenders – what is imposed on Bowzer Racist, Sexist Donald Trump. Seems to be what she is quoted Washington Post“Hi”.

Despite the objections to this fraud – this week, she called a message to a press conference for the use of a “welcoming” in the title, the word she says she did not use – and despite the fact that she insisted “Outraged by invasion of our federal autonomy,“Her actions speak louder than her words. First, the Democratic mayor attributed a splash of federal law enforcement agencies for reducing crime in the city-misleading, the right story that ignores the fact that crimes always fall since the beginning of the school year, and that each tendency has been shown since 2023 The crime falls into the city. Then, September 2, she removed as also order Continue coordination with the federal law enforcement agencies “to the maximum extent committed by the law” even after the expiration of Trump’s rapid order. This is not like “indignation”. It sounds like consent to a new reality.

And now, given the possibility of fighting, the bouzer stands in the side. At a press conference after DC Prosecutor General Brian Schwalb – who does not work under his bowler – held the Trump administration to stop the deployment of a national guard in the city, Bower was eliminated, refusing to respond to journalists clearly whether she supports the trial – what is surprising. Probably, according to the source, it was well acquainted with the decision -making process, which came into the lawsuit, it was written and issued regardless of the Bowzer office. Last week, even after the federal court ruled that Trump violated the law by sending troops to Los -Angeles, the Bowzer would not support the Prosecutor General’s step.

Thus, the Bowzer may insist that it is not “welcoming” uncertain activity. But let’s see what she has, through her actions, is already welcome. She welcomed the death of the rules of the house. She welcomed the crippling of the local economy, which lost billions when people decided to stay home rather than deal with the checkpoints or a mocking national guard of South Carolina with live ammunition on the way to dinner. Because of this, we are now seeing a sharp decrease in shifts for servers and cooks and a lost salary. She welcomed the youth curfew for our commercial areas, which now, when everyone remains at home, similar to ghost cities.

Thanks to all that Bowzer welcomes in the city, parents are afraid to go to work and children are afraid to go to school. The number of parents who do not allow their children from school to avoid the risk of abduction of the state, horrific and half-empty class-symbols of this terror. (Of course, the secretary of education did not say anything about it. If there is hell below, Linda McMahon –Who believes AI is a steak -Sus-The passage to invest in a lot of sunscreen.) One high school even cancels the annual Spanish heritage that parents and students and football games are because they are afraid that it will become a ripe ice target.

That’s not all. The mayor of the bowzer can engage in the word “welcoming”, but how else do you describe her silence, because the federal police and ice are openly and systematically engaged in racial profiling? This unconstitutional practice is so widespread that the white resistants have taken over the wearing of Mexican flags on their cars to belong to the ice in them, and it spends ice time and can save people from federal abduction and slave in prison in Salvador or South Sudan. There is no constitution for the authorities on the streets of permanent current.

Co -cooperation with military occupation and strengthening the capital police department, Bowz started Fear in a black community born in the USA too. MPD with its many years of questions of rationalized cruelty is really going out of tether. Trump and his white-Spremocist lyxspit, like Nazi Shrimp Stephen Miller, admire the fact that “black” now love them because they feel safe under the clock. It is not just a lie; This is deeply offensive: an argument that repeats the philosophy of the 18th-century plantation master. This does not consider the meaning in the city where according to data Washington Post. 80 percent People want them to leave.

Bowzer’s defenders – and they are diminishing in front of our eyes – now they raise the ghost of some blackmail, trying to guess that Trump can “have on it”. Nonsense. This line of investigation means a tired justification for the mayor of the Central Center Mike Bloomberg, which seems to be, as often do the center,-throwing toward with weapons. Another excuse they claim is that there is nothing left without the statehood of Bowzer as to accept this posture. Also nonsense. It is true that the federal government can declare a 30-day state of emergency in DC. But Bowzer had grounds, as Ag Schwalb shows, challenge the Emergency Declaration in court: because the city has a violent crime Click on a 30-year minimumThere is no actual emergency – or at least it was not until the National Guard Tennessee began to patrol the streets with a live cartridge.

The Bowzer may approach this in such a way that it protects its voters and resists authoritarianism. It can conduct a press conference every day, emphasizing the influence of military occupation on residents and the local economy. She could say that she was standing with the participants of the rally and the democratic politicians who showed some spine, such as the mayor of Baltimor Brandon Scott, who runs a city where a violent crime dropped to a 50-year minimum. Even if the Bowzer was overcome in the courts, she could still draw a line in the sand that the federal occupation of the cities is absent in a real emergency, an authoritarian, unconstitutional power, almost unprecedented in the US history, and it should be resisted at any cost. INSEAD, WHEN THE MILITARY TOOK Over Union Station – PROBIL BECAUSE When No Word From Bowser On The Trump Regime’s Proclaimed Triumph in Battle for Shake Shack.

Historically, the mayor of the DC is a deadlock concert. Former Popular Measures Adrian fantas throws the city to cool On a yacht with a widow Steve JobsLauren is perhaps the best of them that made the ladder. Hyper-Acbitational Bloomberg Acolyte Muriel Bowser clearly has great ambitions, and it is ready to move to the bodies of its constituents to get to there. .

Clearly, the importance of a widely built free demonstration of permanent current on Saturday, September 6, at 11 AmIn the Malcolm Park (or meridian). The rates are high to show the city and the world that the Bowzer is not a voice – or at least not the only voice – from the constant current.

Don’t think about it as a local protest. Everyone should come: Because if we don’t back down, your city will be the next.
