The DC Council will hear public testimony today on MPD’s performance over the last year. DC has seen too much cooperation between our local police and federal forces this year, and witnesses today will share the impact of this and why it needs to end. #EndTheOccupation #StopCooperation

If you're in DC and heartbroken/enraged, I'll see you at the ICE protest at 6PM at Hancock Park (650 Maryland Ave SW, L'Enfant Plaza Metro just off the mall). It'll be cold, but if folks in Minnesota can do it, so can we. Snow won't start until a few hours later.

@freedcproject.bsky.social Is there a vigil in DC for Minneapolis today or tomorrow?

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

I canceled Disney+ because Disney/ABC is colluding with Trump to strip away our First Amendment rights to free speech #BoycottDisneyABC

House Republicans had another opportunity to remove the Medicaid and SNAP cuts from Trump’s Tax Scam. And once again, they didn’t. The GOP is making changes to the bill to ensure it will pass and they get to take away more Americans’ healthcare — because the cruelty is the point.

Trump administration has deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with no meaningful process and against the wishes of her father.

Musk is dismantling a small but important independent agency that supports economic development in poor but stable nations. Employees at the Millennium Challenge Corporation were informed that they would be offered early retirement or deferred resignation following visits from Musk’s staffers.

Extremely disappointing and yet unsurprising.😡

This is what overreaction looks like. I encourage all feeling pressure to push radical changes to check in with the communities that support you.

The USG will spend more taxpayer money this week purging mentions of DEI from outdated web pages then it would ever have spent in a year pursuing DEI.
