DC: ALL HANDS ON DECK🚨 Today, ICE shot and murdered a responder in MN. SHAME! ‼️MOBILIZATION TODAY JAN 7 @ 4pm‼️ 🗓️: TODAY ⏰: 4PM 📍: Hancock Park - 800 C St. NW

NEWS: D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto, joined by her 12 colleagues, has sent a letter to Chief Pamela Smith asking for answers on MPD's cooperation with federal agents on law enforcement/immigration enforcement. She says answers would help "ensure accountability & bolster public trust."

People are being forced out of DC. The cost of living is too high, and Trump is waging an all-out assault on the District. It should be easier and more affordable to build a life here. That's why I’m running for DC Council in Ward 1. Join us: aparnafordc.com/donate

Trump hasn’t “chickened out” on his tariffs. He is — at this very second — inflicting great harm on American workers, families and the entire U.S. economy. my latest in the Washington Post www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

there's a distinct information quality asymmetry. it's much, much easier to churn out easily digestible disinformation than it is to research and create something that strives toward truth.

ICE went to the home of a 61-year-old man with poor health and after his family informed ICE agents that they needed a warrant signed by a judge, dozens of ICE agents instead showed up in an armored vehicle with a battering ram and flash grenades and took him by force.

Excited to see the eviction defense guide I wrote for @51st.news translated into Amharic, one of DC's most widely spoken languages, and published by @ethiopique202.bsky.social. Hope it's helpful to folks.

This Haaretz piece of IDF soldiers’ confessions of human rights violations absolutely wrecked me www.haaretz.com/opinion/2024...

as an aside, it’s funny that there are so many cops and buyers who are just gun collecting. for people who are planning for the end times it seems unwise to live on a lightly defended weapons cache.

Crime reporting be like

finally

love how the guardian doesn't mention that the only reason this law exists is to punish trans and intersex people.

for years scholars wondered how many toddlers you can run over with tanks before your country is considered "Bad" . probably about 4 million

remembering maybe one of the last pre-covid media things I went to and someone saying to someone “so how’s your billionaire?” “oh fine he mostly leaves us alone, how’s yours” and it sinking in that this was the state of the jobs that there were

hugely discrediting to conspiracy theorists that there’s an actual foreign-born billionaire doing all this while *overtly* attempting to control what you see online, buy an election, run software in your car, and put microchips in your brain and they’re like 🤷‍♂️

The 2024 election is upon us. Millions of ballots have already been cast. Mail-in ballots are being returned. Early voting is taking place. And dozens of rumors are spreading. So, let me re-introduce our framework for diagnosing how many “evidence-based” rumors mislead:

We need 10 new tents for folks on our route! As it starts to get colder and the city continues to evict people, shelter is super important. If able, please purchase tents off our wishlist so we can get them out to the folks who need them. Link to WL: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

People need to get away from the idea of politicians as heroes and embrace the idea of politicians as cowards who must at every turn be bullied into having good politics

"Evictions are on the rise in DC, with an estimated 1,493 people set to be forcibly removed... we rounded up tips from lawyers, tenant organizers, and housing advocates for when you or a neighbor are facing an eviction." @abigailhiggins.bsky.social for @51stnews.bsky.social 51st.news/what-to-know...

Hannah Arendt noted that this is the fertile ground needed for fascism.

Unfollowing toxic social media influencers makes people less hostile! In 2 experiments, we found that unfollowing extreme influencers: -Reduced partisan animosity by 24% -Increased satisfaction with X -Led people to share higher-quality news Effects lasted for 6+ months. osf.io/preprints/ps...

going to open a weed store called “mids”. it’ll all be ditchweed and low dose edibles. i’ll sell at a premium to people who have work tomorrow and make millions.

Around the world, Uber is slashing its drivers earnings so it can claim to be profitable. It’s using tech to find out which drivers are desperate enough to accept lower pay for trips and continuing to fight to make sure they’re contractors, not employees.

One of the biggest ideological influences for JD Vance is Curtis Yarvin the reactionary blogger who has said the only problem with Breivik the Norwegian Nazi terrorist that killed 77 people, mostly kids, is that he wasn't more effective. So that's cool how America is this close to electing him

This stat is so jarring to me that I thought I was misreading it at first: www.cnn.com/business/liv...

a lot of people love to talk about revolution and camaraderie and "the commune" and then can't speak to a Normie for five minutes without losing their mind. i have bad news about the people who will also be in the commune

dc is going to drive itself off of an eviction cliff with this shit. this could be voted on as soon as tuesday.

this would shake out differently if the online left wasn’t rejoicing over the indictment. idiots like this guy can’t even come up with their own analysis beyond being against whatever the left is for.

In April, USAID and the State Dept.’s refugees bureau concluded Israel had deliberately blocked humanitarian aid. By law, Biden would be required to cut off weapons shipments to Israel. But he ignored them. 📽️ See the full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV9J... 👀 Read the story: propub.li/3Xxtvfe
