I'm Rachel Martin, host of Wildcard from NPR.
I've spent years interviewing all kinds of people,
and I've realized there are ideas that we all think about, but don't talk about very much.
So I made a shortcut, a deck of cards with questions that anyone can answer,
questions that go deep into the experiences that shape us.

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone.
Local opposition continues unabated as the Trump administration attempts to take over policing in the District of Columbia.
Bruce Givens of Maryland was in the city of Washington protesting this weekend.
I am out here because Trump is a fascist.
He is taking over our country.
He's literally shredding the Constitution.
And PR's Brian Mann has more on the story.
Some policing experts say they're alarmed by Trump's chaotic bid to assume control of Washington's street cops.
Rosa Brooks is a former Washington, D.C.
Reserve police officer who teaches at Georgetown Law School.
I think it's actually quite dangerous, right?
Whenever you have lots and lots of armed people and lack of clarity about who's in charge,
you have a really risky situation.
Brooks is also troubled by Trump's statement that he wants this intervention repeated in other American cities.
