Join us tomorrow, August 13 for a strategy session about community safety in DC.

As DC faces up to 45 days of federal occupation, we know it’s going to be up to all of us to help make sure DC’s young people stay safe in the face of even harsher overpolicing.

screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."

he's right and he's right to say it

WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…”

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

Keep that same energy of support for her

They are literally forcing all of Gazans into a concentration camp in what used to be Rafah in southern Gaza, after destroying it. They are now planning on annihilating Khan Younis.

There’s never been a genocide so thoroughly documented as it was live-streamed straight to our phones.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back!

This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

This was why I was so hurt by the other autists in community who rushed to list their accolades and were quick to differentiate themselves from autists who are unable work and pay taxes. The way so many of our own community were saying “does he think we sit in corners and drool on ourselves.” 💔

Just of four of today's headlines.

Make no mistake: This is not, at its core, about illegal immigration or border enforcement.

This is the federal government conducting a deliberate and nationwide campaign of white supremacist terror.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

Starmer's deportation of migrants isn't leadership – it's surrender to hate The government is ramping up deportations and expanding surveillance. Starmer is escalating the hostile environment, writes Munya Radzi.

"His (Starmer's) government justifies its crackdown by claiming undocumented workers willingly undercut wages. But this is a lie built on political convenience.

Undocumented people don’t “exploit the system” – they are exploited by it."

The truth is, WE NEED THEM.

AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists A federal judge has ordered the White House to restore The Associated Press’ full access to cover presidential events.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

Good Trouble!!!
