Feds and National Guard are occupying our streets with the full cooperation of DC police and our mayor Join us, @dcw1mutualaid.bsky.social, @mdcdsa.org and the rest of the Anti-Criminalization Collective to learn how we got here and what we can do about it SUN Sept 7, 2 PM RSVP bit.ly/occupieddc25

Muriel's never met a bus she won't throw us under.

"My constituents are getting assaulted and disappeared off the street and that's cool by me and I'd actually like more of it" -- @mayorbowser.bsky.social

The mayor of DC just went on tv and said “we greatly appreciate the surge of officers.” We are all we’ve got, pals.

DC folks especially those in the Takoma area! Join us Sunday at Rhizome DC for crafting and conversation around the current emergency and policing in DC. Make a protest sign, abolitionist art, or bring your own project. Supplies, and snacks provided, any level of crafting skills/know-how welcome!

In DC, you can join folks at @remorahousedc.bsky.social, @claudiajonesschool.bsky.social , @freedcproject.bsky.social , @harrietsdreams.bsky.social, @blmdc.bsky.social , Pan African Community Action (PACA), Stop Police Terror Project, your ward's mutual aid, & bookstore communities (mine's Sankofa).

"My brother has gone missing. There’s no other word for it." ICE is joining D.C. police patrols. Moped drivers are an early target. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

🚨ESCALATION ALERT🚨 Trigger warning: police violence. Masked agents (including ICE) brutalized & kidnapped a community member at 14th & R St NW this morning. Agents tackled the man, tased him, pinned him down, hit him in the head repeatedly, and then other agents dragged him away. 1/

This is the DC police choosing to collaborate with the feds. Not being forced. Choosing too. Like they have consistently chosen to work with them for decades. Because there is no daylight between them, their tactics, or their violent goals.

To be clear DC police do this all the time, there are videos from 2018 of people sitting in front of their homes getting questioned and frisked. And it's clear right now that MPD is actively cooperating with the feds and even directing them on where to go

They are getting away with this because of the complicity and cowardice of DC officials and police. Black and Brown DC residents are in danger. It's up to all of us to keep each other safe.

Bowser collaborates with the Trump admin proactively and enthusiastically. She’ll pay lip service to autonomy while welcoming the Feds doing everything she wishes she could do with our local police

🚨Federal agents swarmed DC last night (8/9) again. Feds from multiple agencies, including the DEA, FBI, HSI (ICE), ATF, Marshals, and Border Patrol, were seen at: - Benning Road - Bloomingdale/ LeDroit Park - Deanwood - Dupont Circle - Georgetown - Navy Yard - Shaw - The Wharf

It's important to be angry about this and to also recognize that federal law enforcement is consistently used against DC residents. Figuring out whether the cop detaining you is Park Police, ICE, or MPD is a dangerous game many people have to continually play.

URGENT: DC to clear many homeless encampments tonight (Thur, Aug 7th). Please spread widely and share with media. My hunch is that this is @MayorBowser working with @realDonaldTrump , but I cannot confirm that yet.

GIVE YOUR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS WATER & CASH

The ICE agents aren’t insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals, they’re the police. This is what the police look like, this is how the police operate.

Crowd is in the hundreds and has taken over about a block and a half of Penna Ave. This is a totally peaceful protest that is for some reason surrounded by police cars on either side

Might be cool is someone noted that, yet again, the Council's own Office on Racial Equity found that expanding pretrial detention would *decrease* the safety of Black DC residents -- dccore.tiny.us/PeaceDCPrint

As the military invaded DC this weekend, Brooke Pinto quietly pushed forward plans to repress free speech, criminalize DC residents, and help Trump enact his agenda in DC. CALL TODAY Tell Council vote NO on the “Peace DC Amendment Act” and the Residential Tranquility Act" Full post: bit.ly/3HLUBew

Really doesn't seem like we should have to tell folks that if police start to get violent at a protest sitting down is not a good strategy, but uh, just in case, probably don't do that

Some reminders about resistance and repression in DC from our event earlier this year with @blmdc.bsky.social and MXGM DC (See the full post on Insta bit.ly/3TkXLbD)

I don't care what you think about PSL. That letter is dangerous. What Hawley is doing is setting the stage to do the same to all Left groups.

🚨UPDATE: The vote was postponed yesterday. It is now supposed to happen TODAY (6/12). Which means there is still time to protect DC sanctuary laws! ✊🏽NON-DC RESIDENTS: Call & email your rep NOW: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

UPDATE: We have confirmed that ICE was involved in the enforcement this morning. It is deeply fucked up that park police is working with ICE to target brown people on mopeds who are just trying to work.

That MOTHERFUCKER AIMED RIGHT AT HER AND THE PHOTO JOURNALIST

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

ALERT: Weird Fed activity on 16th & 14th St NW between Allison & Spring this morning (6/8). Two park police agents & two masked cops wearing vests that only say police stopping people on mopeds. One person arrested so far. Could not confirm what kind of enforcement activity. 1/

LAPD firing impact munitions at Los Angelenos while DHS arrests their neighbors.

Reminder that the original request to close the circle didn't come from the feds, it came from D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith

As part of her proposed budget for 2026, Bowser is pushing to repeal a 2019 law that limits how and when city agencies – notably the Department of Corrections and Metropolitan Police Department – can cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts. 51st.news/bowser-moves...

Send ACLU-D.C. executives a reminder that union rights are civil rights! actionnetwork.org/letters/c70b...

This is so fucking shameful

Mayor Bowser is attempting to undo the Sanctuary Values Act. Escalating the danger for our immigrant neighbors escalates danger for all of us. We are here this morning together with the ICE Out of DC coalition to oppose this attempt to obey in advance.
