There's a sign wave to support immigrants at the same intersection this afternoon. Hopeing we get a good turnout.

Also, this video should be credtied to Raphi Talisman, who was on his way back from dropping his child off at school when he came upon this. He's a professional photographer.

It's not just one agent. It's the agency:

ICE is making communities LESS SAFE. Hyattsville, MD, just outside of DC during a busy rush hour morning commute this week. Unacceptable!

Anyone who thinks ICE is making communities safer needs to see this. During a brutal "arrest" an ICE agent accidentally drops his gun and kicks it towards bystanders before brandishing it at civilians in a busy intersection during morning rush hour. Terrifying.

I understand the fear, anger, and pain you're feeling. I feel them, too. But non-violence is basically the whole point of society: coming together with rules that foster mutual safety and success. We need to be - and elect - builders, not destroyers.

He did condemn her killing. I hate him, too, but let's stick to the truth. There's already enough to be upset about - we don't need to make stuff up.

Grand jury rejects yet another felony indictment in Trump's D.C. crackdown In at least three cases so far, grand jurors have refused to approve felony charges against people the administration said assaulted law enforcement.

MSNBC frames this as "an unexplained phenomenon" so:

This administration is trying to silence people by charging them with bogus felonies. And grand juries - people like you and me - are refusing to return indictments based on bogus charges.

Phenomenon explained.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Sweetie, I froze everything in January. Lucky? No. Just realistic. This was never a serious administration trying to govern. It's always been a heist.

Trumpโ€™s DC takeover produces moderate drop in crime โ€” and huge spike in immigration arrests | CNN Politics In the first week after Trumpโ€™s DC police takeover, the city saw a moderate drop in reported crime โ€” and a far larger surge in arrests of immigrants, a CNN analysis found.

I am 100% sure that crime in DC has skyrocketed under trump's invasion. It may have reduced petty theft, but these masked goons are themselves breaking laws and causing serious injuries and harm. Not to mention all the lawlessness in the admin itself.

Let's tie CEO and worker pay to each other! Any company that pays its CEO more than, say, 10-15X their lowest paid employee (including contractors and hourly workers) gets hit with a punitive tax rate, with those taxes going directly to social services.

I want to see CEO pay tied to worker pay, such that any company paying its CEO more than, say 10-15X its lowest paid employee (contractors and hourly workers included) is taxed punitively, with those taxes going straight to social services.

JD Vance and Pete Hegseth visit National Guard troops amid DC protests over Trump's crackdown Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have visited National Guard troops at Union Station amid protests in Washington.

I've lived in + around DC most of my life. Yes, we had crime. But the street crime was mostly about desperate people doing desperate things. Not monsters feeding on pain. These 'troops' are the monsters inspiring fear + inflicting pain for fun. I've never felt less safe.
