Wish it was mentioned that AK and IA Govs have a cumulative 150 armed soldiers serving under the “DC Safe and Beautiful Taskforce” that has killed + kidnapped neighbors and is on a spree of harassing families at school pick up/drop off alongside HSI and FBI agents www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...

We are resisting competitive authoritarianism in the US. This is what tilting the playing field of an election looks like. What role did MAGA Abbot and Paxton play in this? Why are so many polling locations closing in TX? This election affects DC, the country, and the world. Contact your TX friends!
The state Department of Public Safety wouldn’t say how many voters are affected. trib.al/iov7Ky1

Our experience in DC— Feds killing, kidnapping, harassing,while Trump tries to tear down community golf courses, the Kennedy Center, the WH— makes it clear how callous this regime is. They don’t care about us, ofc, but they don’t care about anyone or anything but lining their own pockets.
Just had some big black SUV full of 3-letter agency pigs shine flashlights out their windows at us as we walked back into our house. Get out of DC, swine. 🖕🏻

MAGA John McGuire has spent the last 19 months attacking DC, so this fall we’re teaming up with @indivisiblecville.bsky.social and @robertwhite-dc.bsky.social’s DC51 PAC to get out the vote for @tomperriello.bsky.social in VA-05!! When we fight, we win!
First all the trees at Haines Point for the private golf course he’s trying to build and now all the Kennedy Center trees :( We have a lot of plans to stop him. Up next: Join us Saturday in VA-5 to take out MAGA McGuire www.freedcproject.org/midterms
The iconic weeping willow trees outside the Kennedy Center have been cut down by Trump.
The “crime” pretext for a hostile military occupation of DC by Gov Kemp/Lombardo, Reynolds’ troops would be laughable if the “safe and beautiful task force” weren’t killing and kidnapping people. Want to make Trump mad? Read/share the report he’s tryingto bury. freedcproject.org/news/share-t...
(2/3) invited in, by the Mayor or Governor, to HELP. I am awaiting the call. Nobody should be forced to live under these conditions. Like D. C. and others, they will have almost no crime, FAST! The State and City can’t do what I do. Governor Pritzker, CALL! ! ! President
I asked the ambulance driver to not leave us surrounded by agents but he had to go. Luckily with so many witnesses the Feds did not escalate. The “safe and beautiful” task force is a grave injustice. Help us unseat the man who wants to make it permanent: Www.freedcproject.org/midterms.

Due to a 20-cent tax on delivery orders (that helps support food stability programs), DoorDash is now backing a bill that would give Trump more authority over DC and its residents. Delete your account until DoorDash stops fighting to give the regime more power.
This is the 2nd year our kids have to pass armed soldiers/agents to get to school. @starsandstripes.bsky.social (before it was gutted) alerted us- Now troops from GA and SC are targeting two mostly Black neighborhoods- Trinidad and Anacostia.

There are 793 troops from Georgia and 128 troops from Nevada illegally and unconstitutionally occupying the District of Columbia in peacetime for Trump. Helping @keishaforga.bsky.social and @aarondfordnv.bsky.social win the governorships will be a major victory for occupied DC.

Looks like the letter worked.
DC Council called on state govs to withdraw Natl Guard troops by 9/1, citing waste of taxpayer $ and "militarization of civilian spaces" DOJ just attacked them. "Your politically-motivated letter is impotent theatrics not worth the paper it’s written on" www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

I got the DoorDash letter attacking DC home rule over a 20¢ fee. The letter, which dangerously misrepresents HR 9720 as only applying to tax and fee increases, was written by @lgbtqvictoryfund.bsky.social director John Horton. #freedc
This was the worst Congressional attack on DC Home Rule we've seen, and Doordash admits they instigated. DELETE YOUR DOORDASH Account. Mobile: In the app, go to the Me tab. Navigate to Manage Account → Manage Account and enter your login credentials; then, select Delete Account.
Fourth, it’s funny DoorDash cites no hearings on fee as reason to oppose Guess what also had no hearing? Comer’s bill. Federal lobbying team trampling the state/local teams relationship with a jurisdiction over a 20-cent fee is wild. Good luck to them!

The world is burning. The president is having hallucinations about election fraud on live television. ICE is murdering people in the streets. And Rep. James Comer thinks the problem we really need to address is that DC is setting our own local tax rates. #FOH

The real patriots are the (likely disenfranchised) folks at Eastern Market blasting music and shouting at these fascists #FreeDC
Patriot Front came out of their moms’ basements, dusted off the Old Navy khakis, put on the white masks so they don’t get fired from their day jobs, and headed to Washington for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Four hundred self-described patriots, not one ounce of bravery.

Statement from Counsel for Olympian Davey Hearn:
Jeanine Box-o-Wine Pirro right now doing a press conference to justify why her office has indicted three-time U.S. Olympian, David Hearn, for destruction of federal property. Per Pirro: Hearn “ripped a piece of recently installed sealant on the bottom of the Refecting Pool...He damaged the pool!!!"
“Making some wonder” does a lot of work here. I’m wondering when the 10 month long military invasion of our metro stations will end and why Gov Whitmer, Gov Walz, Gov Brashear and Gov Stein sent troops into this atrocious summer surge! Also, will Black and brown people ever feel safe on Metro again?
Metro has been cracking down on fare evasion in the transit system, but thousands of the tickets it has handed out in D.C. are regularly being tossed out of court. That's making some wonder if D.C.'s law is essentially toothless. In @notus.com: www.notus.org/metro/dc-met...
Even if they believed the lie that their troops were only being sent with pistols to the Mall I cannot fathom why Govs Brashear, Whitmer, Walz, and Stein want to use their authority as commander of the National Guard to be a part of this mess. Demand they withdraw: www.freedcproject.org/guard
“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.
I love this so much! Can they now end the US military campaign against DC by giving DC control of our own National Guard?
BREAKING: The Senate has joined the House in voting to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran and block Trump's authority to wage this war. Four Republicans broke ranks in the bipartisan 50-48 vote.
