Living in a Federal Police State (again)

Yá'át'ééh my relatives. In the past few weeks the Federal Government has sought to take over DC policing and deployed the Nation Guard throughout the District. Many people find this shocking but, as a Native man who moved to DC from the Navajo Reservation, I see this for what it is; just more of the same. I invite you to grab your favorite morning beverage and join me for My Second Cup of Coffee.
