I am not writing this post only to black people living in Washington D.C.; I am writing this to blacks all across our nation, plus to people of any race across the U.S. who intends to take a stand against the new authoritarian government in our nation. It is time we put non-essential concerns away and prepare for the police state which is coming for us, and indeed, to a certain extent is already here.
We were actually forewarned of increasing militarization through the actions of ICE, which uses Gestapo style methods as Nazi, Germany did during the reign of Adolph Hitler. Consider the similarities with the terrorist organization ISIS, whose members hide behind masks just as we have witnessed with ICE agents on our own soil. ICE has been allocated billions of dollars through the Big Beautiful Bill, and it is very evident the Trump administration places its priorities (on targeting non-whites). Of all divisions in government, ICE, (the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement), received the most funding with the bill's passage on July 4, 2025.
Recently, Trump employed the National Guard to Washington D.C., and commanded its forces to carry around in public automatic weapons--a further effort to intimidate its residnets. This is happening right now in Washington D.C., our nation's capital! The crime rate in Washington D.C. has been declining the past several years, and this rate decreased 26% percent from previous statistics. That is no small feat! The operation in D.C. is not only racist; but yet again, another slight of hand tactic to distract from the Epstein files. Additionally, so was the meeting between Trump and Putin in Alaska, which grandiose fanfare amounted to a bunch of nothing. Therefore it served its purpose well to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein issue Trump wants so badly to disappear. Now these new antics of a scared white supremacist will increase the crime rate by uping negligent homicide and manslaughter as his goons continue to engage in lawless tactics against D.C. residents. This threat will eventually make its way to all Americans--the illegal or unwarranted use of force by an increasing police state.
What in the hell does it take for American citizens in the United States to wake up? Someone getting mowed down by some scared National Guard member who fears brown skin people? It will happen -it is only a matter of time. And it will no doubt happen multiple times. Do you not know that around the world, people in other nations are horrified by what they are witnessing through their news about the U.S., yet our very citizens here remain blind, disinterested or hoodwinked! It doesn't help to have virtually worthless national news stations such as ABC, CBS, and NBC where the majority of their broadcasts is devoted to quirky videos, new gadgets, and best recipes. Our nation is crumbling before our eyes and too many people and media outlets are acting like all of this is normal. None of this is normal!
Americans are living in some of the most dangerous times in decades. The Trump administration is NOW the biggest contributor to the unsafety of Americans, whereas before it was threats from "regular crimes". Ironically, Trump, a 34 count felon, continues to drums out chaos to overshadow the Epstein files, and has declared a "war on crime" in Washington D.C., yet this very same man should be sitting in a prison. His fear of prison is one of the reason he intends not to leave the White House in 2028. He would even take this country to war just to avoid facing punishment for his crimes.
If he could get by with it, Trump would just assume to execute homeless people just so his "residential locale" looks better. Where are the homeless to go? Do not believe Trump's b.s. about trying to find the people shelter, he could not give a rat's ass about them. No attempt will be made by his wicked administration, or the police force to help the homeless find adequate shelter. His one and only goal is to make them invisible, so his residence looks good while he reeks of bacterial sh*t.
Trump is a quintessential narcissist, and in his sick mind, all of the planetary bodies orbit around him. Only someone depraved like him would take advantage of a man's blood splatter from an assassination attempt so as to appear injured himself. To date, no medical report has been released on his rotten ear, because there is nothing in it, unless a doctor stated he is a foaming sociopath.
According to the constitution, we all have right to protect ourselves, even to bear arms. We are living now in a country where people can masquerade as ICE agents, however, they may be actually "regular" criminals. Because these goons refuse to identify themselves or show their faces, citizens are clueless to who is accosting them, or forcibly entering their homes. Now "regular criminals", including rapists are taking advantage by mimicking the American Gestapo. Also, ICE agents have been already physically assaulting people daily, sporting masks everywhere they go. By law, these people are suppose to identify themselves, and not to be maskless. The government is hiring any for ICE who can fart and chew gum at the same time--the major requisites for the position.
All of the uncertainty has made me come to a realization; that the time has come for me to bear arms. Actually, I came to that conclusion in January 2025. I feel a need to have protection more than ever. I would suggest black people be vigilant, and from what we are seeing from D.C., we should take steps to protect ourselves. We simply do not know what may be coming our way, but we do know this--a lot of these measures by Trump is fueled by racism, starting day one in the White House, January 2025. Whether black, white, Asian, Native, Hispanic, or of another ethnicity, the time to consider protection is now. You do not know who may come at your door, unidentified, or accost you on some street. Anyone opposing this authoritarian regime is at great risk.
For the love of God people, vote in the midterms. Get registered to vote if not registered--impeachment of Trump will save lives!
