Under His Eye.

Rapidly becoming the most beloved DC sports team!! Thank you @washingtonspirit.com!!! #FreeDC #HandsOffDC #community #Shutdown

Freaking ridiculous. But yay for bike lane Nazi escape routes!

This is what Americans outside DC don’t realize-we now live under constant surveillance and threat and tension. Soldiers with guns everywhere you walk. Fear every time you see tow trucks bec it means ICE is about to kidnap someone. Starting to film every time you see >1 cop car gathered. #FreeDC

Frickin helicopters. They never stop. #HandsOffDC #FreeDC

Fricking hell! “OMB directed agencies to begin drafting RIF plans that would go beyond standard furloughs, permanently eliminating jobs in programs not consistent with President Donald Trump’s priorities in the event of a shutdown.”

Has anyone seen “Mary Shelley’s Monsters” at the chapel in Congressional Cemetery yet?? #DClife congressionalcemetery.org/event/mary-s...

Battle doomscrolling by sharing 5 favorite dishes in DC: 1) Palak chaat at Rasika 2) Biscuits at St. Anselm 3) lamb cumin noodles at Chiko 4) chicken pot pie poppers at Unconventional Diner 5) gambas al ajillo at Jaleo #DClife #HandsOffDC

A side crime no one is talking about is the apparent lack of character limits on Truth Social. Old conspiracy theorists really need threads instead of uninterrupted black text block o’ crazy.

“Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars. Still more, it should not be used, as it also has been, to transfer government authority from Congress to the President, & thus to reshape the Nation’s separation of powers.” -Elena MF Kagan

Everyone should see this photo from Broadview Detention Ctr in Chicago suburbs of masked goon squad attacking a member of the clergy. #ICE #CivilRights #Resistance

Reason #1573 why I love DC and DC residents: this thread😍 (it ain’t going where you think based on the title.) #DClife #FreeDC #community www.reddit.com/r/washington...

Had no idea Boones had expanded their varietals since my college days. #roadtrip

Can’t be a good sign that the Vietnamese guy doing my shoulder and neck massage during this pedicure said “OMG!!!” 5 times working on my shoulders and scapulas? #worklifebalance

My prediction is a shadow docket ruling with no explanation of how they’ve reconciled the two.

Brilliant! #censorship #autocracy #FCCcensorship #1AM

There’s alllllways a tweet. Or 4.

Once again: if you don’t even know basic facts about how DC functions, even those widely reported, why do you think you should spend your time ignoring your constituents to overrule existing DC laws? #HandsOffDC #FreeDC #TheLastColony

And this is EXACTLY why Congresspeople who know nothing about another jurisdiction should try to throw out the laws and usurp it with their own poorly-informed ideas. If you wont even take the time to learn how crimes are or not prosecuted in DC, stay out of trying to fix it! #HandsOffDC #FreeDC

Think about this-can we not find just this small number of courageous and patriotic folks in Congress or SCOTUS: “Would take less than 10 people in congress or 2 SC justices to stop all this.”

Can you ask really nicely please @mayorbowser.bsky.social for them NOT to patrol with giant guns NEAR schools DURING drop off and pickup???

Yup. If you do not care that your House Democrats voted against rep voted to deny DC residents self government and to override their elected officials’ laws, understand they refuse to stop this Administration. They won’t protect you either. #Resistance #handsOffDC #FreeDC

31 House Democrats voted to strip 710K DC residents of self government. 31 House Democrats sided with the coward GOP not standing up to this Administration. 31 House Democrats chose taxation without representation. 31 House Democrats will sell out their own constituents next. Demand answers.

DC folks-you know what to do with this ratio. Epitome of hypocrisy. #FreeDC #HandsOffDC

DC residents-Did you support @repvindman.bsky.social in his Congressional bid after he stood up to Trump? He does not support democracy or your rights-he’s one of the 31 Democrats who voted to disenfranchise us yesterday. To him we’re only colonists to be taxed without representation. #FreeDC

"If You Give A Wannabe-Mobster A Bribe"

Lol. Love this guy. Have watched 2 different videos of him doing this now. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8SSV3Rn/ #FreeDC #HandsOffDC

THIS. Would pay. Except it would probably mix in stupid answers with names of dead people or ones who moved away.

I was heartbroken when Rappahanock Oyster Bar left Union Mkt. Then awesome Yasmine went in that space and was so great but left. Now Fancy Ranch Amish Fried Chicken is mind-blowingly good. Pls don’t run them off too Union Mkt!

A 🧵for current & DOGEd federal employees (& those who support them!): I put my time where it multiplies impact—today that meant a free social media coaching session with @fedsforward.bsky.social leaders Karen F. Lee and Karen Esser. #PublicService #FederalEmployees 1/8

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hear me out here @daveminca.bsky.social… But what if instead of injecting your personal views & will on the 700K+ Americans in DC, you voted to let our politicians & our atty general govern us, pass our laws & enforce them? @freedcproject.bsky.social @ankitjaindc.bsky.social #FreeDC #HomeRule

Use today's events to put common sense gun safety reform on the floor of the House and Senate and we'll see what these ignorant repugnant republican bad-faith actors actually stand for. Again.

Too much political violence.

I do wish someone would reframe these stories and headlines.

Haha. This is inside Joe’s Stone Crabs, a stupidly expensive white tablecloth DC restaurant a block and a half from the White House.

The hypocrisy knows no bounds. There is no consistency with this SCOTUS. No state decisis. All decisions made based on the outcome the Admin wants.

The White House’s claim it was a hazard is a bald-faced lie. It was small and easy to walk by or around. wapo.st/3IdOFvn

Lovely. I knew Americans would not what to do in the face of mainstream media’s censorship and craven capitulation. Thank you TikTokers and Skeeters! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Secc2o/

Every family member who’s visited me in DC saw this vigil outside the White House and amazed they’d been educating folks about nuclear war since 1981. An essential part of the DC experience. #HandsOffDC #1A #FreeDC

City Councilmember Janeese Lewis George (Ward 4) has been the most outspoken since our military occupation! She “slammed both Democrats and Republicans for long ignoring D.C.’s pleas for statehood.” #FreeDC #HandsOffDC wapo.st/45RjdMx

Now I need to know @profanity.accountant

Leave it to our kickass female athletes to bravely support us: “We know these days feel heavy. We also know this city's story has always been one of strength, kindness, and of neighbors showing up for each other, no matter the challenge,” it read. (Cont)

God I love Judge Faruqui!! wapo.st/45Pbej1

I don’t know that anybody but this Admin PR piece is covering the effective and of DC Home Rule yet. wapo.st/4lYQLgE

I’m gutted. Effectively ends home rule. wapo.st/4lYQLgE

The most heartwarming story on BlueSky today. And a look at real DC.

A 🧵on billable hour pricing & genAI: “Clients don’t hire lawyers for how long something takes—they hire them for results.” -- Catherine McPherson At #ILTACON, a stopwatch debate made one thing clear: #SkyLaw #lawtwitter #genAI #BillableHours #ILTA 1/7

“In the past, federal efforts to target crime in U.S. cities have begun with months of investigative work to identify gun traffickers and repeat criminals…. ‘You focus on identifying trigger-pullers and putting them in jail, not low-level people.’” www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
