"Nearly everyone involved in this effort is a woman: the work of finding missing family members, like many other forms of labor for incarcerated people, is largely carried by women."

The hypocrisy of honoring a figure who is known to have created community spaces that were then a target of police terror while staying silent on the current police terror MPD is inflicting in cooperation w federal surge LEOs is maddening. It's giving pink washing. Which is right on brand for Pinto.

Threatening to arrest governors for seditious conspiracy. Getting dark fast.

Malnourished people are easier to control and the Trump-Republican Regime knows it.

National Guard arrested someone in DC. This is a direct violation of posse comitatus and a huge escalation. m.youtube.com/shorts/ewVvI...

What role are D.C. police playing in immigration enforcement? Residents are struggling to find out — and advocates and even some elected officials say that local lawmakers haven’t done enough to provide oversight and accountability, @maustermuhle.bsky.social reports.

WATCH: “A MASTER PLAN” Usually stoic Kushner silently panics as Witkoff spills the beans on the Trump regime’s war profiteering in Gaza - they’ve been working on for ‘TWO YEARS’🤔 (But don’t worry, apparently $50 Billion is “not a lot of money”! 💰🙃) PSA: This slip-up should be a big deal.

🤦🏼‍♀️

Interesting: Councilmember Anita Bonds has a new bill to change the rules on D.C. ballot initiatives. Probably most notably it would prohibit initiatives from having more than one question. This is likely in response to Initiative 83, which had two: ranked-choice voting and open primaries.

what will remain of the U.S. public sector is prison guards, ICE violence workers, soldiers and cops.

Let's go Brandon!

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire?? Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

Miss Major didn't need the government's permission to be herself — and neither do any of us. We'll honor her trailblazing legacy by keeping up the fight for full trans freedom, for as long as it takes.

ICE is still riding with MPD & kidnapping neighbors. FBI & other feds are still popping up. They’re still setting up checkpoints on major commuter roads. Secret Service had their cars parked on the exact patches of grass tents used to be on. National Guard is still wandering around, fully armed.

We need $1600 by Oct 28 to help keep a recently housed neighbors power on. This will allow him to start a payment plan he can manage through SSI payments. Cashap: $RemoraHouseDC GB: givebutter.com/remorahouse Thank you all!! Love & solidarity!

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Rest in power, Mama Major! 💜🙏🏽 It was a blessing to live in the same earthly timeline as you. A true freedom fighter, you never stopped reminding trans people—especially Black trans people—of our worth and our power. Because of Major, our foundation is unshakeable and our liberation inevitable.

Known as a surrogate mother of her community, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy leaves behind a legacy as a fierce advocate for trans and LGBTQ+ rights.

I wish people in this country would be honest about the country.

Remember that all of this is in defense of a detention center where people are being held in horrible conditions after being kidnapped off the street for no reason.

Update: The push to hold a referendum on the changes the D.C. Council made to Initiative 82 this summer is official. A critical hearing before the D.C. Board of Elections is set for October 22; after that, proponents will have very little time to collect signatures from voters.

I can't describe how pissed off this makes me. To put in perspective: the Democratic party has negotiated with the fascist MAGA party to take away more rights in the continuing American trans genocide to fund the military occupation of our cities in preparation of martial law.

We know more about the massive military-style raid on a Chicago housing complex thanks to the reporting of @southsideweekly.bsky.social, @blockclubchi.bsky.social, and neighborhood resident Eboni Watson who chronicled the event. Among the emerging questions: what's real estate's role in this?

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that his office would launch undercover operations targeting what he called “groups affiliated with left-wing political violence” in Texas. Paxton cited “transgenderism” and “antifa” as driving forces behind the supposed threat.

Big protest from immigrant organizers in the Wilson Building today demanding an end to MPD cooperation with ICE. A spicy banner, too.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

This morning, hours after a federal judge ruled that it would be illegal to federalize and deploy Oregon National Guard troops in Portland, Trump deployed federalized California National Guard troops in Portland. 1/16

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

An “immigration judge” is not an actual judge in the judicial branch. They are a DOJ employee. As Judge Young, an actual judge, made clear in one of the truly essential parts of his Tuesday ruling. www.lawdork.com/p/judge-will...

The @washingtonpost.com's Emma Uber & @teoarmus.bsky.social caught @mayorbowser.dc.gov in a bald-faced lie. On Tuesday, she said "ICE is not patrolling with MPD." Confronted that day with video of ICE patrolling with MPD and abducting people handed to them by MPD, she was forced to change her tune.

As credible local reports have suggested since the end of the federal emergency takeover, @mayorbowser.dc.gov's office confirmed to NYT today that MPD is still proactively cooperating with HSI, including non-arrests. Bowser is a disgraceful MAGA collaborator. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/u...

Neighbors FYI

Oh my!

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

🚨 D.C. must have autonomy 🚨 The ongoing attacks against D.C. are a threat to our entire democracy. We urge Congress to protect D.C. and vote against any bills that aim to weaken D.C.’s ability to govern itself.

Listen and decide for yourself. But I have to commend Phee for using her platform to call out abusive, manipulative, and dismissive tactics from the WNBA. (Part 2/2) #WNBASky

Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview. She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

My friends, neighbors, and I are the enemy within. Nothing will stop our rise for collective liberation from your miserable projections.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

On National Day of Remembrance for Boarding School Survivors, we honor those children and reaffirm our commitment to strengthen Tribal sovereignty and deepen our respect for our trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations.
