What is the average crime rate in a federal prison?
As Trump is attempting to turn our cities into a federal prison system, sure, some crime may be reduced. But ultimately, we’ll all be inmates in Trump’s occupation.
Is this freedom?
Meanwhile, white collar crime is exploding. But Trump doesn’t care about that because he is the lead felon that is shaking down and extorting people and businesses for his own benefit.
Terrific post, Terry. So good to hear interviews with “regular folks“ instead of always talking with those in the echo chamber. If I never had to hear anything more from idiotic words of JD, Hegseth, Rubio, etc., again, it would be too soon. Please continue with your brand of Real Patriotism.
I viewed this report yesterday. It’s excellent, clearly delineating the use of crime in DC as propaganda. The Trump administration doesn’t care about solving crime, they only want to intimidate people and to appear powerful. It’s all performance and lies.
my husband and I were just in DC last week for the day. We did talk to the people of DC —the vendors on the street, the red cap at Union Station, the workers, the regular people who live there… Everyone was upset about the guard being in their city. I didn’t talk to any of the guards, but I felt kind of bad for them because it’s such a show and tell theatrical exercise. we stood for a while in front of the Lincoln Memorial reading his beautiful words and I thought wow what would he say today? Great report Terry. 🙏 so much.
Appreciated this video. Well done. I could see and feel the emotions of the citizens you talked with. Terry, you have an exploratory yet gentle and respectful way of talking to people.
That was wonderful and oh, so necessary. Editing Vance directing people to talk to a resident, and then you doing just that with such articulate, feeling people was exactly what we need right now. I hope a lot of people see this. Thank you, Terry.
Thanks for finding residents representative of DC who are open and honest about how they feel. Not one of them feels safer in the current situation, they have anxieties not knowing what’s coming next. This segment of your Substack along with your interview of the former Chicago police superintendent are two of your best. Right up there with your Sunday poems.
Terry, you do such great work. Thank you, for taking the pulse of these everyday Americans and showing the disastrous consequences of the Trump movement.
This! This is the type of reporting everyone should have full access to! No leading sound bites, no leading questions, just a clear hard look at what is happening and how it is affecting the people directly! Thank you!

Spot on, Wendy!

Well written!
Terry’s gift for reporting has always been gentle while honest in asking the important questions…

What a shock- I can't believe DC looks like Addis Ababa now with soldiers on every corner policing thier own citizens :(
