Julian Bailey, 43, is the man who was killed by U.S. Marshals in DC earlier this week. This is a message from his family. #JusticeForJulian

Roses are red Violets are blue If you’re born here You’re a citizen too

D.C. police identified a 43-year-old man who died after he was shot by a U.S. marshal in Northeast. Law enforcement arrived near the Minnesota Avenue Metro station after a woman said a man with a gun threatened her in a convenience store.

“As of Wednesday, 42,264 [DC] residents had already filed their local tax returns.”

this is one of those cases where I think no, even rhetorically, you don’t go there. you draw a bright red line and when someone talks about denaturalization you laugh in their face and say “what are you taking about, we don’t do that in America” instead of dunking on their side’s immigrants

Kidnapped August 28th.

Megathread of posts and articles about the invasion of DC that has been ongoing since August 2025: 🧵

for everyone unaware, Congress is trying to interfere with DC’s local tax laws because they refuse to leave any part of DC untouched by their machinations

A lot of these guys couldn’t get elected advisory neighborhood commissioner in DC. They’d be talking and their neighbors’ inner monologue would go Nope. Anyway, the U.S. Senate is considering whether, in the middle of tax-filing season, to force DC to adopt new local tax policy.

a reminder that DC remains under occupation

Almost time for disapproval resolution live-skeeting, part 2. The Senate will be convening at 11am to debate and vote on overturning DC’s local tax law because it’s not enough of a giveaway to billionaires #FreeDC Here’s yesterday’s thread if you want to get caught up:

I'm attending Janeese for DC Mayor's event, “LGBTQ+ Community Listening Session” - sign up now to join me! #TeamJaneese www.mobilize.us/janeesefordc...

There’s a case to be made that today (Feb. 11) marks the *30th day* of the congressional review period for the D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025, which means it becomes law effective Feb. 12 (regardless of how the Senate votes)

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

US Marshals murdered a man in NE DC this afternoon. The only sourcing for this article is law enforcement so take the narrative with appropriate skepticism wjla.com/news/local/s...

The #Senate stands adjourned until 11:00 am Feb. 12 2026. At noon, the Senate will vote on passage of H.J. Res. 142, D.C. Tax Disapproval Resolution.

From paving over Black Lives Matter Plaza to making sure MPD cooperates with ICE, I’ve given the President and Republicans everything they’ve asked for, so I’m truly baffled that they would screw DC over like this.

How's Congress interfering in DC life this week? They want to overrule a DC local tax policy that would decrease child poverty and raise much-needed revenue. www.americanprogress.org/article/over...

Yesterday @freedcproject.bsky.social went to Murkowski's office. Her comms director lied and said he was a policy guy, then told us no one who knows anything could meet with us. Then the scheduler came out, refused to take us seriously, accused us of being aggressive and called the cops on us +

I'll be live-skeeting the Senate debate and vote on H.J.Res. 142/S.J.Res. 102, expected this afternoon #FreeDC

Last chance to call these Senators -- vote is expected in two hours #FreeDC

McConnell (and JD Vance’s) absence today means that we need *3 GOP senators* to join all 47 Senate Dems in voting against (or present) the disapproval resolution (H.J. Res. 142) nullifying DC’s tax legislation when it comes up for a vote today (~4:30pm)! Collins + Murkowski + ?

They’re still here in DC

Vote is expected at 4:30pm. This resolution would undo DC’s new local child tax credit. It would be the first time Congress has ever struck down a local tax law. It would blow a huge hole in DC’s budget for the second year in a row. Please take 5 minutes to make some phone calls.

Except DC, which seemingly never counts: “More than 2,500 National Guard members remain in Washington, D.C., in response to Trump’s ordered deployment, but under a nonfederal status. Their mission — part crackdown on crime and part sanitation duty — is expected to last until the end of the year.”

Meanwhile, the Senate, in which DC has no representative, is about to rewrite DC's tax laws in the middle of filing season and, oh yeah, blow another hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars hole in DC's budget a year after Speaker Johnson's $1 billion hole in last year's. www.dcfpi.org/all/congress...

Good morning ☀️ TODAY the Senate will vote on whether to overturn DC’s local tax law. If you’re against robbing the poor to feed the rich, please call some Senators before 2pm #FreeDC docs.google.com/document/d/1...

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced. Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

DC jurors stay resisting.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

DC Chief Financial Officer Glen Lee:

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and Council Chair Phil Mendelson:

The bill in the Senate this week that will attempt to interfere in DC's tax code is chaotic, bad, and should get voted down — but don't take our word for it. Here's a running thread of the people and organizations who want Senators to VOTE NO on S.J. Res102: 🧵

idk i think in a time when it feels like nothing matters & all is futile it might actually be time to double down and write your stories & make your paintings & sing your songs & do your art. create the things that make us human and share them.

“They just told me where to stand, and they said: ‘Don’t move. Stand here and be one with the grass.’” A fun read:

Age verification? I remember when you only needed to dial seven digits to make a *local* phone call.

Why are you playing ball with fascists?

Tomorrow the Senate is expected to vote on a bill aimed at interfering in DC's local tax code. This move would thrust DC into financial chaos, hurting families and helping an administration that we know thrives on confusion and fear. Tell key Senators today to VOTE NO: FreeDCproject.org/money

When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liam…even if that wasn’t actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit. Every kid impacted by this administration’s cruelty is another Liam.

after giving it a lot of thought….good bunny

(did that couple really get married at the Superbowl halftime show, please tell me that was real)

Pretty sure it wasn’t actually Liam. But it was a clear homage.
