The term ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion life is returning to normal’ Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 10 October, Israeli forces have killed more than 360 Palestinians in Gaza; according to a UN official, at least 70 are children www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

I'm co-organizing a toy drive. If you can donate, thank you. If you can share with others, thank you. Toy Drive list: bit.ly/48pJUrK Teen Gift list: amzn.to/4rDn7BG

Times are hard. I had my window busted out my car this week. It is both a sign that people are on the brink and it happened to cost me some unplanned money out my pocket. There are tents for $50 on this list, and it can help keep a person warm in the snow. Smaller donations make a difference too.

Remora House needs tents in DC. It’s actually important to move on these requests quickly because of need, supply chain issues, and how manufacturers manipulate prices. Let’s do this for folks without housing in one of the most militarized places in the US.

Looking for places to give that are local and directly support people….

I am overall positive about this development. wary of the crime narrative surfacing so early and without provocation. Please don’t go touting putting kids in cages as a positive resume builder. Please hold the line on community involved, restorative, noncarceral solutions to increase public safety.

This is a very sweet (if very Christian-centric) trans-led mutual aid project that connects anonymous gift givers with unhoused or in-foster care trans kids. www.transanta.com/about

thanksgiving is tomorrow and MoCo Pride Center is still $900 short of their fundraising goal for the chosen family holiday dinner if you have a few dollars, please consider helping some of my neighbors enjoy a warm, delicious, and love-filled thanksgiving feast www.zeffy.com/en-US/peer-t...

Stay safe DC

@nwslsoccer.com you failed here. You need to immediately stipulate in your charter contracts that you won’t accept flights from these airlines. This is not what my money as a fan will be used for. @gothamfc.bsky.social @washingtonspirit.com

We're seeing some confusion about this, so let's talk about it. Home Depot has been complicit as ICE snatches day laborers out of parking lots. At minimum Home Depot is turning a blind eye, and there have also been rumors they may be more actively complicit. Organizers including #weaintbuyingit 🧵

Hey y'all! This didn't get great traction last time. A friend of FTP is struggling and needs help after being sketchily turned away by some other local organizers. We now have a smaller short-term goal to keep her phone on. Please share and support! Feel free to send us donos labeled "for M" for her

DC absolutely needs statehood so that the people who live there aren't ruled by goons they never elected. A genuine ongoing scandal and absolute betrayal of the principles of the country.

Can confirm

Of all my posts, this is the one that I wish would be shared widely. I hope people will donate to Bryan's legal defense, but even if you don't, it's important to be aware of the human rights horrors that are going on around us on a daily basis.

We're at Union Station, vets. Show up

🚨ALERT: 4 people have been detained in Bladensburg this morning, on or close to Baltimore-Washington parkway. All from work vans. Park police were involved. We recommend staying clear of this area. 1/

Well I guess the bright side of no representation is I don’t have to worry whether my rep will ever betray me and the rest of the country with cowardly nonsensical deals with the let’s starve children, kill sick and disabled people, terrorize trans people, and bring back concentration camps party.

Another world is possible, if we fight for it

DC Council handing the feds the tools with which they can terrorize our children.

I want to double-tap this, and we can see it viscerally in the policing of young Black teens who try to exit the Navy Yard stop of the Metro here in DC.

Who knew it would all be comedy?

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

She’s consistent, I’ll at least give her that.

So imagine this. MPD working with Feds pull you over for tint. Feds start shooting. You try to get away but can’t. Bullets through your passenger seat and jacket collar. MPD arrests you for felony fleeing. MPD omit the shooting from your arrest report. washingtoncitypaper.com/article/7732...

@mayorbowser.dc.gov is either lying about continued collaboration of mpd and the feds or she’s uninformed and ineffective as an executive. It’s one or the other. Because less than an hour ago I saw the kidnapping posse snatch someone off the street in Petworth, with MPD right by their side.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Miss Major has passed. A life well lived. We must celebrate her and the gifts she bequeathed us all. RIP Miss Major.

In the Baltimore Sun today we ask Governor Wes Moore to cancel Avelo Airlines' contract with BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. He can do it today. It doesn't require the assembly. It will help stop ICE & help our patients and neighbors. Please share widely. www.baltimoresun.com/2025/10/11/w...

So I’m a vegan. A woman on the street asked me for help with getting her food from the Popeyes we were in front of. Four pieces of chicken cost 20 dollars?!? I thought yall said that meat, fast food, etc was so much cheaper. What is going on?!?

I am a Carolina alum. This institution is doing all it can to be an embarrassment in my bio.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

"Almost 2/3s of all prison leavers are re-arrested and more than half returned to prison within 36 months of their release… The answer, we at the CLF believe, is universal basic income… From a prison abolitionist perspective, UBI has enormous potential as a tool for dismantling oppressive systems."

D.C. doesn’t have its own prison, so its residents are sent to federal facilities all over the country. This is a bad system that serves no one, Askia Afrika-Ber writes. This writer is a D.C. resident currently incarcerated at USP Hazelton in West Virginia, published here via More Than Our Crimes:

With dems like these, who even needs a right wing

ICE murdered someone in Chicago yesterday. It seems the news cycle has moved on from the federal takeover stuff, but it’s very much still happening & escalating.

Palmetto State Abortion Fund still needs to raise about $7,000 overnight for a client whose funding fell through. Please consider contributing if you can—your contribution will directly help a person in dire need.

DC residents and allies across the country will rise up on Saturday to demand an end to DC's occupation. BE THERE! Get your friends, neighbors, congregation, and community to join the national event this Saturday at 11 AM in Malcolm X Park. Sign up at bit.ly/we-are-all-dc

Get her Jade

Yall know what to do

Really frustrating to see what a strong response to the threat of military occupation looks like compared with the total capitulation from our mayor here in the District.

I read the code. We just need a petition.

It turns out the answer to “why is Mayor Bowser doing this” is “because she wants to.”

Resign and get out of my city now you spineless fascist bootlicking embarrassment

Share this tweet if you are down for a national walkout.

Oh we been telling y'all about Muriel too. Just nobody cares about little old DC. Still don't.
