This is a regime of bloodthirsty pedophiles and oligarchs who terrorize, murder, and commit human rights violations at home and abroad every day to advance their grift. The heartlessness of doing this during Ramadan is extra tragic. We the people need to be organized to wield our collective power.

I can just imagine the idiotic jury conversation about what constitutes stalking and the compromise that was made so they could all go home :(. This is why it’s so important to get jury training DC friends. Don’t let this be you!!!

Operation Epstein Fury is so obvious. Not sure they thought this through.

I just googled it and found out that 2 #DC Caps players in the Olympics played for Canada! Phew! Between that and the gorgeous #HeatedRivalry, I feel like these men should give up their gold medals for lack of sportsmanship and give them to the Canadians, or let the women's team have more medals!

Thank you to @chmnmendelson.bsky.social for being clear that the law enacting DC's Child Tax Credit that the Senate is CURRENTLY voting to "disapprove" of is ALREADY law! The Senate is too late. @51st.news @washingtoninformer.com @postguild.bsky.social

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: 🧵

Photos of Senator Lisa Murkowski and Senator Susan Collins sitting and speaking at the dais. Text reads: "S.J.Rs 102 is Anti-family, pro-Trump, and fiscally irresponsible. Attacking DC's local budget would hurt DC families while advancing Trump's agenda. Tell Senators this week to VOTE NO on S.J.Res 102. FreeDCproject.org/money"

Tomorrow the Senate is expected to vote on a bill aimed at interfering in DC's local tax code.

This move would thrust DC into financial chaos, hurting families and helping an administration that we know thrives on confusion and fear.

Tell key Senators today to VOTE NO: FreeDCproject.org/money

House rejects D.C. tax changes, potentially costing the city $600M in revenue GOP proponents say they want to preserve tax cuts for residents and businesses. D.C. officials say the move would produce fiscal chaos.

Okay, there are still great reporters at the #BezosIsALackey Post, writing important pieces about how the Senate is voting early NEXT WEEK to overturn DC's tax law AFTER people have already started filing, to give people who earn >$1.3M a break. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

The Washington Post slashes its newsroom staff.

The #BezosIsALackey Post has an opinion, lol

Good news and great reporting from @marisakabas.bsky.social! Now we just need Bezos to leave too! Get him to sell it to the @51st.news for $51 dollars @bezosearthfund.org. The passive voice line about millions of customers is hilarious, given their current circulation: www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Journalists have critical skills we need! BUT don't blame "people" and "consumers" for this loss. Bezos killed the Post by: deciding not to pay its workers, offending readers by running his personal opinions, & hiring management that hates reporters. "Consumers" aren't the problem; billionaires are.

And to be clear, paying these reporters is so affordable to Bezos that it's like buying a pack of gum for the rest of us. He's just not going to notice that amount of money, and yet he chooses cruelty and chaos over decency.

In our 6th month of military occupation and federal surge forces, DC is celebrating #TransitEquityDay and the economic noncompliance that beat back the racial authoritarianism of Jim Crow. S/o to Claudette Colvin for paving the way! #FreeDC #BoycottTarget #CongressStopOverturningDCLaws

Hoodie with a DC MPD graphic surrounded by a ring of acronyms for federal agencies: HSI, IRS, DEA, DHS, USSS, FBI, USCP, USMS, MTPD, CBP, ATF, and USPP.

But there’s no coordination with immigration enforcement, right @mayorbowser.dc.gov ? @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social ?

For those who were teenagers during this time and are looking for something more adult with an emphasis on romance, this is the perfect read.

The men who did this were white nationalists- as evidenced by the decision to let racist white South Africans have refugee status and Black Africans die. This was maliciousness not carelessness and those men are not from DC.

Today I joined patriots at the Kennedy Center to make clear that Trump’s desecration of the Center will not stand. It’s not a matter of whether, but of when, his name will come down. We will not allow him to despoil what belongs to the American people.

DOJ report on D.C. police says chief created ‘culture of fear’ The draft report says the main reason “for the misclassifications is a culture of coercive fear that emanates from Pamela A. Smith” and some of her staff.

Trump wants DC's crime numbers to be high so he can seize power here and look legitimate while he does it.

If DC's numbers aren't what he wants, he's willing to go back and erase them.

We condemn this attempt to distort DC's objective police data. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

For allies in West Virginia — Free DC Friends in West Virginia, send a letter to Governor Morrissey right now telling him to recall your National Guard members from DC.

Can't imagine how hard this hits for the NG :( This is a horrible tragedy. They shouldn't have been in DC as props on Thanksgiving. For folks from WV, here is a link where you can demand all the WV troops come home before the next holiday: freedcproject.org/news/for-all...

S/O to Croix Bethune in this clip from @nbcwashington.com

"We don't want to play a 3 hours soccer game. That was insane."

"We're just trying to be the light of the city. I know y'all hear the chants "Free DC" that are going on and the signs that are there."

Waymo Was on a Roll in San Francisco. Then One of Its Driverless Cars Killed a Cat.

We should make the tech billionaires mad by killing driverless cars in DC, right? Waymo Killed a Cat. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/u...

I think you mean "in Congress," or "In the Federal District". In DC, we are getting in the face of federal agents, and giving peoples' pardons to the guy throwing sandwiches at them. #FreeDC

I was the Banksy version of the sandwich guy for Halloween, so I now feel especially connected to this folk hero and appreciative of his lawyer's puns. Also, this entire thread is hilarious. #FreeDC

I went to LA to run a training this summer and almost got hit twice in crosswalks when I had the right of way by Waymo’s turning right. Between the federally-deputized thugs and the techbro-fantasy self driving killing machines, it felt dystopian.

Our entire national democracy will always be at risk until we actually protect the capital of this country.

Everyone across this country needs a free DC. - Kaya Chatterjee
