Trump's National Guard arrested a student organizer last night in DC for "disorderly conduct". His hearing will be Monday morning at 9:15 am at DC Superior Court, 500 Indiana Ave NW. Be there to show support #freedc #forkoff www.instagram.com/p/DabdKp2lgz6/

It’s still dangerous outside today. Water is helpful. Money is helpful. Giving to folks doing direct aid like @remorahousedc.bsky.social is helpful.

Now THAT’S my Alma mater

A great resource for supporting the immigrants on hunger strike at Delaney Hall, and the people protesting in solidarity with them:

The hunger strike that detainees at Delaney Hall Detention Center are maintaining despite violent repression from ICE is only one of several hunger strikes taking place in detention centers around the country. Do you live near one of them? If you do, you could help spread resistance on the outside.

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

DC’s under attack. Y’all have to get this! We are occupied by multiple violent state forces that put our communities, you guessed it Black & brown ones have been first in line, under severe threat. Know that this is our on the ground reality, nation!

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

ICE wants to expand its concentration camp network in California with a dilapidated Bay Area prison known as the “Rape Club.” buff.ly/sLr7y01

Yall see who ain’t on the list…. Protecting constitutional rights amid federal attacks, I wonder where that happens every single day?

1. The largest medical organization in the United States, the American Medical Association, has reaffirmed that gender affirming care for trans youth is medically necessary. It disavowed the New York Times reporting. Incredible development for trans youth. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The Resistance hacked the crossing signal in Denver. Need sound up.

The kids are alright. They organized this themselves. Thousands of high schoolers said “not in our names” and walked out to raise their voices.

bit.ly/Justice4Julian is the fundraiser for Julian Bailey, the DC man who was killed by U.S. Marshals last week. They’re trying to raise $15,000 to cover funeral expenses and support his children

Rest in power

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

At least 4 homeless folks froze to death in DC during the recent winter storm. In the capital of the richest country in the world. Where we're spending $1.65 million a day to pay for the Nat'l guard to do nothing. It does not have to be this way.

Thread 🧵

They get the axxon api setup to direct feed this shit into their facial rec system so they don't have to carry phones and can free up their hands for more canisters and triggers

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

How is it possible that Dems are still talking about reform? They do not need better training on how to brutalize and document it. None of this needs to exist and the solution is to end it now. You are seeing human beings murdered in the street and want to compromise about paperwork.

The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city. Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

It should not be up to children to fight such heroic battles

any political project that does not have as its goal the destruction of the system that produced that video is not worth a moment of your time

WE HIT OUR MATCH GOAL! You raised $30k for abortion access. With our match, you *doubled* your impact—getting us to $60k this month alone. …Which begs the question: Can we get to $100k? To help us fund abortion in 2026, donate here: dcabortionfund.org/donate

When a disabled person expresses concerns over assisted dying legislation, please listen to them. Don’t speak over them. Don’t assume they want to deny you the right to die. We’re fighting for our right to live. We’re fighting fascism & eugenics. Assisted Dying policies will always target us.

I wouldn’t recommend my kid attend my Alma mater. Which is not how I ever would have predicted feeling.

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.

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...

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.

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.
