I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Today House Republicans are going to lie, distort reality, insult our communities, and attempt to dehumanize the people of DC— especially our Black and Brown youth. We are ten toes down for DC. Anyone who tries to say we deserve less doesn't know us.

Here’s all the ways you can take action against Disney, ABC, Sinclair, and Nexstar for silencing Jimmy Kimmel and attacking free speech. Share WIDELY. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC

Nothing about us without us. We're at today's House Oversight Committee hearing about DC to make it clear DC communities don't want Congress's interference in our judges, prosecutions, sentencing, or police. They can't talk about our communities without expecting to hear from our communities.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Tomorrow, college students across DC walkout. Not just for ourselves, but for our neighbors. For everyone this federal occupation harms. You don’t need permission to demand freedom. You just need to show up. Sign up: smvmt.org/walkout #FreeDC @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social

The Trump regime and its federal forces have occupied DC for too long. Over the weekend, thousands marched to the White House to make clear that DC belongs to its people and #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC apnews.com/article/wash...

We need Congress to act immediately to end Trump's occupation and be on the side of DC communities. We're visiting Senate offices today to tell Senators to end Trump's occupation of the District, stay out of DC's local spending, and block ALL attempts to take away DC's local power. Our full letter:

It was just block after block of people coming from Malcolm X Park headed downtown. Lots of energy despite the heat, and cheers from passersby, as well as church bells ringing in support.

Today, we march for a Free DC.

Thousands of people will take action today in opposition to this president’s occupation of DC. Here are the ways Congress needs to take action in this moment. Send a letter in solidarity with DC: FreeDCproject.org/allies

Clearly it's not enough for this fascist administration to hunt down people in the streets. They want to dismantle DC’s fundamental rights and governing power. We will not cooperate.
