Washington is teeming with attorneys, and there’s a few ways they can help vulnerable members of our community.

Jeanine Pirro is currently speaking at MPD 3D. A questioner in the live audience asked her if she was trying to get our billion dollars back. She had no idea what they were talking about.

I am supporting @freedcproject.bsky.social's Senate Lobby Day next MONDAY. RSVP at the link below to join us in meeting with Senate offices and asking them to vote NO on the bills advancing the DC Trump takeover freedcproject.org/event-list/d...

JUST IN: A new class action lawsuit challenges ICE's warrantless immigration arrests in Washington, D.C., which they say are occuring without probable cause and based largely on perceived ethnicity. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Our statement on Trump's most recent Executive Order, promoting the death penalty in DC.

When the President calls for the DOJ to target his political opponents—AND publicly—that’s a sign we’re heading for increasing authoritarian behavior. We’re going to have to fight like hell to protect our democracy.

Keya Chatterjee on No Kings and #FreeDC: We're gonna have some Go-Go music when we come out on October 18th in DC! We are going to prioritize joy because that is what is going to get us through this movement is joy and community. @freedcproject.bsky.social @keyachatterjee.bsky.social

“Imagine if Congress declared Wyoming a Federal Natural Resource District…managed by the government and no longer have congressional representation. Republicans would of course be appalled. Disenfranchising 600,000 people who live in Wyoming would be immoral.”

“You can introduce DEI laws but at the end of the day you are not going to erase Black people from the District of Columbia or any other place.” Thank you @repsummerlee.bsky.social for your clarity of conscience and conviction. #FreeDC

D.C. parents! A few readers have told us their children are struggling emotionally with the federal takeover and increased local law enforcement presence. We’re wondering: What strategies have you found to support your kids? And what information might help you in this challenging moment?

Thank you @reprashida.govpeeps.us for your compassion, courage, and commitment to justice. From DC to Detroit, we are in solidarity with every person under attack by this administration. #FreeDC

Let’s be real here: if we’re going to talk about crime in D.C., let’s talk about the orange collar crimes coming straight out of the White House. ⬇️

"You can be quiet." Republicans have been consistently rude and disrespectful to DC leaders at today's Oversight Committee hearing but Rep. Nancy Mace was by far also the weirdest about it.

Rep. Eli Crane does not know the difference between the DC Attorney General (@dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social) and the U.S. Attorney for DC (Jeanine Pirro). Rep. Crane seems to think Pirro is doing a pretty bad job.

One of the Dems who voted with Rs to support Trump's attack on DC was a VIRGINIAN: @gene4va.bsky.social. To our fellow grassroots groups, as well as unions, justice organizations, and voters: let him know this is a shameful betrayal and not the representation you want.

Yesterday 29 @housedemocrats.bsky.social chose to side with Donald Trump over DC. We did not ask for this. It will not make us safer. And fueling this fascist president's agenda is dangerous for our entire country. (🧵)

You might think it should be a non-controversial belief among Democrats that "DC should be able to self-govern. But 31 House Democrats just voted to give Trump and Congressional Republicans full control over DC's sentencing laws. Shameful, heinous behavior from Vichy Democrats

DC is made up of vibrant communities and hard-working people who are the backbone of our culture and economy. We are small business owners, veterans, teachers, nurses, police officers, and civil servants. We are Americans who deserve the same freedom to govern ourselves that other Americans enjoy.

🚨ICE Alert 🚨ICE has been spotted at the intersection of 14th St NW and Missouri, with various arrests since this morning. Please avoid the area if possible.

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.

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.

To the 31 House Democrats who voted with Trump: I would never vote to disenfranchise your constituents, undermine their democratic rights, or impose harsher penalties on them against their will. Regrettably, you have done exactly that to my constituents and legislative body. Shame 😪

Today 31 Democrats chose to side with Donald Trump over DC. We did not ask for this. It will not make us safer. And fueling this fascist president's agenda is dangerous for our entire country. (🧵)

Thank you @scanlon.house.gov + @robertgarcia.bsky.social. The bills before the House this week about DC are not about improving safety. They will only show us who is willing to help Trump with his agenda of destruction. Congress, you can either side with the people of DC or you side with Trump.

Trump’s threatening a national emergency if DC’s mayor doesn’t comply with ICE agents striping people from their homes and separating families. He’s dead set on trying to turn our nation's capital into a political battlefield but we refuse to let it happen. It's time to Free DC.

Abuse of power is Trump saying that if DC doesn’t help him with his unlawful agenda that he’ll retaliate against us. Demand Congress condemn this wannabe dictator. Act now: freedcproject.org/news/make-ca...

Another Jeanine Pirro felony case just crumbled. Prosecutors claimed DC resident Scott Pichon assaulted guardsmen by spitting at them, but moved to withdraw the charge “after reviewing the evidence.” Judge: “The way this is supposed to work is the U.S. Attorney’s Office does its due diligence.”

This week the House will vote on four bills attacking DC. Nine more are in the works. No one in DC wants these measures. They will not support our safety. We want every Democrat to VOTE NO on all of these bills. Make calls today and tomorrow to 30 priority reps: freedcproject.org/news/make-ca...

Back on the Hill this afternoon. Tonight, the Rules Comm will vote on 4 DC bills. It’s anticipated they will be on the House floor Tues & Wed. Bills would: - Eliminate the Judicial Nom Commish - Allow 14yo to be tried as adults - Allow police vehicular pursuits w/ no guardrails

Fun fact: If you threaten to declare an emergency because someone isn't doing what you want, that's not an emergency. It's just a tantrum.

If Donald Trump tries to conduct a complete federal takeover of DC, Congress should reject it. The deployment of the National Guard was a failure. DC residents don’t deserve this. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Trump's occupation of DC has "horrific 'mystery agents'...cosplaying as police so they can kidnap non-white people with impunity." That's not just the perspective of our community members. That's the perspective of MPD Officer Daniel Hodges.

House Republicans played D.C. Council this week, advancing 14 bills targeting everything from the District's traffic cameras and criminal justice laws to how residents chose an attorney general: 51st.news/house-republ...

Which side are you on @congressmin.bsky.social? From DC to the OC, Trump's agenda of detention and deportation is wrong and needs to be stopped. But five different times yesterday Rep. Min chose to support Trump's attacks on DC. That's not what any Democrat in Congress should be doing right now.

Thank you Rep. Robert Garcia for your solidarity with DC communities. We are calling on every Democrat in both the House and Senate to reject ALL attacks against DC's local power and policy that are moving through Congress right now.

No young person should have to choose between going to school and staying safe. Educators, administrators, and staff face a choice — either protect and defend students, or stand by while their rights and safety are stripped away. Get organized to fight back: bit.ly/immigrant-students-action-kit

@freedcproject.bsky.social: "You have to be able to have dissent in the capital in order to curb authoritarianism. You have to be able to do that and because we are uniquely vulnerable, it is a danger to everyone in this country, and therefore everyone in the world...”

Our demand remains: ICE OUT OF DC. NATIONAL GUARD GO HOME. Trump's control over MPD has now expired but the federal occupation of DC is still going strong. Agents are still harassing and detaining people — including this morning in Columbia Heights.

Today is the day that Trump's formal control of MPD is set to expire. We need all collaboration between MPD and federal forces to end immediately. 51st.news/dc-police-wo...

This is a lawless administration. People in DC can see that better than anyone. They are violating our Constitutional rights, stealing from the American people, and illegally deploying the military on domestic soil. Any committee tasked with ‘Government Reform’ which ignores this is a farce.

House Oversight Committee currently debating a bill to extend the congressional review period for all DC bills to 60 days. Congressional review days are only counted when they are in session. Congress averages only 147 days per year in session. Y’all, do the math.

A party that is breaking the law left and right shouldn’t be telling DC how to do anything. We're at the House Oversight Committee this morning to make it clear DC communities don't want ANY interference from federal forces or this Congress. Our home, our rules, always.

The House member who wants to let Trump appoint D.C.'s attorney general (currently elected by residents) mistakenly says it was the city's AG who didn't prosecute two-thirds of arrests in D.C. That was actually the U.S. Attorney for D.C. – who *is* appointed by the president.

People confront Trump at a DC restaurant. He smiles at the camera as they chant “Free DC, free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time.” Trump’s masked agents have snatched residents & he’s unconditionally backed Israel’s genocide of Gaza. Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance seen alongside.

Today, students from Georgetown, Howard, GWU, and American University walked out against Trump’s unlawful military occupation of DC. They’re united with DC residents and allies across the nation to stop this wannabe dictator’s power grab. ✊🏽 Stand with us. #FreeDC #WeAreAllDC

The walkout at American University has gotten massive. Hundreds of students are joining the call for an end to Trump’s occupation of DC and a stop to all attacks on DC’s autonomy.
