I’m here for the DC City Council’s oversight hearing on MPD, and so are an awful lot of concerned DC residents. The line’s out the door…

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

@raxkingisdead I like the whole Gondor/Mordor thing. All cities should have an evil version right across the river, like DC and Arlington

Tomorrow, February 25th, Councilmember Brooke Pinto, Chair of the Committee on the Judiciary & Public Safety, will hold a public hearing on DC’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) cooperation with federal law enforcement.

SUBMIT YOUR TESTIMONY: freedcproject.org/mpd
You have until March 11th.

Russia is a terrorist state. Strength and peace to the people of Ukraine.

This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to ...

New: this app warns you if someone is wearing smart glasses nearby.

Meta plans to add facial recognition to its Ray-Ban smart glasses. A 404 Media reader made this app after we showed men filming people w/o their consent, and DHS officials were wearing the glasses www.404media.co/this-app-war...

These are the kinds of people who lived among us — and the kinds of people who save the world from evil.

The defining face of the first day of the full-scale invasion is Ukrainian marine Vitalii Skakun.

He heroically sacrificed his life by blowing up a bridge in Henichesk to slow the advancing Russian columns.

This is the fourth winter under missiles and bombs, in darkness and cold. And once again fascist Russia has failed to break Ukraine, no matter what it tried.

Anthem of Ukraine is performed on violine outside Ukrainian embassy in Tbilisi.

The ‘anniversary effect’: Ukrainians live by a trauma calendar As Feb. 24 approaches, Ukrainians feel it on a physical level—with the sudden onset of insomnia, anxiety, and appetite loss. They’re dealing with a phenomenon that pops up near the war anniversary.

Good morning readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

As Feb. 24 nears, millions of Ukrainians suffer 'the anniversary effect', experiencing insomnia, anxiety and loss of appetite.

Each year, Natalia in Kyiv and Mariam in Georgia relive memories their bodies refuse to forget.

He’s not just emulating Pol Pot, he’s killing descendants of Pol Pot’s victims.

If you think a Republican party that has passed two laws in two years trying to steal $1.6 trillion from DC’s local budget and that works tirelessly to protect polluters would have prevented this spill from happening if they controlled the DMV, I have a bridge or two to sell you

The President put out this post maybe a day before he signs a bill attempting to steal $600 million in local tax dollars from DC that we could use to fund DC Water to prevent the next Potomac spill. Spare me the BS that Republicans are better at providing people clean water

ICE is using a Navy war-fighting contract (WEXMAC TITUS) to turn warehouses into detention sites in the US.

They're using mil procurement to skip transparency & local safety laws.

Call your Reps and demand:

1. Why is ICE using WEXMAC TITUS?
2. Where is the oversight?
3. What are you going to do?

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/

This is just unconscionable man

NEWS: the DC Council has proclaimed that the “D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025” is now officially law (L26-89), effective through Sept. 25, 2026! Regardless of how the Senate votes today, the 30-day review period ended Feb. 11!

If Congress overturns our new tax law, it will be an unprecedented financial overreach. Under Home Rule, there has only been one DC law nullified -- the Revised Criminal Code debacle a few years back. Congress has never interfered in our ability to raise local taxes

We expect a motion to proceed on the resolution around 5:30pm, followed by debate and then a vote on the resolution itself. Both votes only require a simple majority. I'm heading to a #FreeDC press conference taking place near the Capitol at 6pm but will update as I can

@wyden.senate.gov on the floor just now "LEAVE DC ALONE!" He points out the expense and chaos that overturning our local tax law would create, highlighting R's hypocrisy on local control and fiscal responsibility #FreeDC

Democratic Senators are currently giving a series of speeches praising the failure of the grand jury indictments against Sens. Kelly and Slotkin. THE ONLY REASON these Senators are not under indictment is the bravery and service of DC RESIDENTS. Who are about to have their local tax law nullified

I'll be live-skeeting the Senate debate and vote on H.J.Res. 142/S.J.Res. 102, expected this afternoon

#FreeDC

The bill in the Senate this week that will attempt to interfere in DC's tax code is chaotic, bad, and should get voted down — but don't take our word for it.

Here's a running thread of the people and organizations who want Senators to VOTE NO on S.J. Res102: 🧵

the culture the joy, the country we’re fighting for

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

i actually teared up when he gave that boy the grammy

Raphal de la Ghetto @ilovesmick All these white people mad about Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance... I hope next year they get Bad Bunny performing the whole set in Spanish. 5:32 PM • 2/11/25 • 6.7M Views
