Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov, Gov Whitmer et al: from here on the ground we cannot tell who was sent here for 250 and who wasn’t, they are all just occupying forces

Have the people who make statements like this ever considered that our current "cars for everything" model isn't actually working for anyone? ​Forced car culture destroys personal and public finances, kills ~44k/year in the US, and is the number one thing our emergency services have to respond to.

Governor, when will you show any concern for the safety of DC residents and recall your armed National Guard troops from our neighborhoods? #FreeDC

It’s like hey man cool form letter does your mom know you send fake shit like this people? Is she a Nazi too? bsky.app/profile/adam...

America 250 really is a temu dictator world fair

DC is a city under occupation. If you are in DC, take a friend and have a chat with your nearest occupiers about why their presence is a bad thing for democracy. People everywhere, please send a letter to the 24 governors 🤯 who have sent troops here and tell them to GTFO freedcproject.org/guard

easily the most censorial time of my life right now, no one in charge really seems to give a shit though

🧵 Spent some time this morning with a few friends on a green line tour of occupying National Guard forces. First stop was Columbia Heights, where the 4 troops from North Dakota ran away from us after telling us they were “under a directive not to be filmed” #FreeDC

“it turns out that ordering people back to the office full time is a power and status move. It’s a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/o...

Waiting to cross the street & a teen doing tricks on a Lime ebike hopped up over the curb & almost crashed into me. Then I got the light & started crossing in the crosswalk, where a driver of an SUV didn’t look for peds before turning right on red & almost hit me. Were they equal threats? 1/2

Pro tip to DC taxpayers: If you walk by the Unjolly Green Giant Reflecting Pool, you stand a good chance of getting arrested by (checks notes) someone who doesn't live, work, or answer to anyone here. @thehillishome.com

Is DC “Safe and Beautiful” yet? Did this do it?

It’s Father’s Day, and @kevinbogardus.bsky.social deserves recognition. We are so glad you are the one who takes Izzy to spirit games, snuggles with James, and gets treats for Malcolm.

Cars are death machines

Ban cars

Happy Election Day, DC! Be sure to vote for the actual FREE DC slate, not the deceptively named one!

DC, we have the right to vote free from intimidation. That includes the presence of police, federal agents, or soldiers near our polling locations. If you see them at or near voting locations, document what you see and then call or text 866-OUR-VOTE to report it.

Bicycling is an inherently safe activity. Cars make it unsafe, scary, and nerve-wracking and that's what prevents many people from riding. It's pretty simple!

For our #bunchdc fam: Election Day is Tuesday, and early voting runs all weekend! Ranked Choice Voting tip: If a candidate hates bike lanes & loves dangerous driving, DON'T RANK THEM AT ALL. Ranking them last - still helps them. Only rank candidates you like! #vote #bunchfam #cargobike #bikedc

Free DC has been adamantly opposed the Guard's deployment since the day Trump sent them. These soldiers are a danger to people here as well as to free and fair elections. For occupying soldiers to take one of these flags as if it's a souvenir is insulting and disgusting.

Months after telling staff that the E&E News brand was not going away, POLITICO is shuttering six publications. A statement from PEN Guild's leadership: This is unacceptable.

We are increasingly seeing National Guard soldiers detain community members and call MPD to arrest them. The three incidents pictured here have happened in just the last week alone.

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Looking forward to when the ICE assholes and their collaborators get what they deserve.

Defund, abolish, prosecute. And then deport them and their collaborators to a prison in a foreign country.

hey markwayne, why don’t you send the pedophile rapist you work for to stay at delaney hall?

The world is watching in horror as ICE terror unfolds in another U.S. city. Solidarity with the people resisting inside and outside of Delaney Hall.

join the national guard where you can be used as a political prop by an old pedophile while you meander between whole foods and the nike store in 110 degree heat while wearing your full military kit

Sharing this again because it needs to be seen and this one has captions

Here we are in Trump’s America. Lunatics with guns get to threaten everyday Americans and somehow tell us we are safer for us.

I took this video right before ICE pepper sprayed the crowd at Delaney Hall, including Senator Andy Kim. ICE was dressed like they're going to war, with weapons and an armored vehicle. That's because we are the enemy to them. We just keep standing up to this repression. @north.dsanj.org

Check out the Free DC Slate @freedcslate.bsky.social instead, for candidates who prioritize folks who live here instead of folks who make our lives worse through their extraction.

There's always a slate of mostly incumbent party members running for Democratic State Committee. This year that's "Democrats United to Free DC". Avoid them and stick with "Free DC Slate" if you want change in the local party.

Julián Bailey was a Black man shot to death in DC by U.S. Marshals for unknown reasons this February. His family’s FOIA request for security camera footage of his killing was denied, also for unknown reasons. More people should be making noise about this

10 years ago I would have driven a giant dirty diesel pickup truck to the library to transport my kiddo and these books. 🤦🏽‍♂️ It's only a 3 mile round trip! And easy task on an e-bike. #OneLessTruck

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

Never trust billionaires.

Rank “grave concern” right up there with “we need to study that” in the hierarchy of deflections from Bowser. She’s a lame duck right now and *still* shows zero spine when it comes to standing up for the people of DC. All that political capital going to waste. Not surprised, just disappointed.

I was a safe streets advocate prior to becoming a father 3 months ago, but holy shit has my fear and anger towards the threat of cars grown to a tremendous energy ever since. If vehicular violence claimed my daughter from me, I have no words for what I'd do.

Spotted in Petworth, outside the Safeway:

For those who don't know, every year police from around the country come to DC and commit crime sprees.

Flights of less than 350 miles should be a train ride. 🙃

At least 79 kids have been harmed by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s immigration crackdown. In most cases, they were going about their days when officers shot chemical munitions near their homes and schools and into their cars.

"The war in Iran has cost U.S. taxpayers $25 billion thus far, the Pentagon tells Congress" Reminder: Spending Trump’s proposed military budget could: -Globally: End hunger -In the US: End homelessness, cover the uninsured, provide universal pre-K, & power 50% of households with solar. ht Semler

Just in case anyone forgot, the National Guard is still in DC ans ICE is still in Chicago, LA, Portland, Minneapolis and beyond…

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

I mean, why not give up the car entirely?

Palestinian photographer Saher Alghorra was awarded the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography for documenting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. His photos are worth seeing, so here’s a gift link:
