Sharing! I did not know seeing a political ad in Bangla could bring gleeful joy. I almost wish I lived in NYC just so I could vote for a hashi khushi New York. Imagine having someone who cares enough about the people of NYC to learn their languages and then voting for Cuomo? I can’t help but judge.

Feel this. I hoped my spicy & speculative climate romance novel wouldn’t manifest its premise. The prequel is unfolding BEFORE it’s out in Oct, though. Also, preorder my novel if you want to see how love, and the movement, wins anyway in my imagination! Pre-orders help! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

WTF. A woman in DC was killed by Trump’s military parade— run over in NE by a truck carrying a tank that had no business on a DC street. As far as I know no media have asked Trump if his birthday parade was worth this woman’s life. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Hey quick q DC fam, has anyone seen the tanks leave?

Yup. And if you realize this is authoritarianism, then get your caucus in line to stop advancing authoritarianism. Dems voted against democracy in DC yesterday. DO NOT vote to repeal sanctuary in DC TODAY. DEMAND A NO VOTE ON H.R. 2056. Call them: (202) 224-3121

And @freedcproject.bsky.social has been spending our week trying to convince Dems not to vote with Rs to overturn DC's sanctuary. Tell Dems to fight back against this fascism: call Katherine Clark's office right this minute and urge her to get her caucus in line: 202-225-2836. VOTE NO ON H.R. 2056

Congress STILL has our local funds frozen. And now they want to make the police less accountable WHILE tanks roll into DC? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social needs to have a word with these Ds trying to substitute their judgement for the judgment of the people we elected in DC. That's not democracy.

In 2020, when Trump deployed the military in DC for his Bible photo op, the next group deployed was Federal Bureau of Prisons guards. There were some in our neighborhood pointing weapons at people. They told me they had no training for dealing with civilian populations, and they seemed terrified.

It's important for people to remember what happened in DC and Portland in 2020. Trump has already shown he will send the military to put down protests in cities. He also used forces from various federal agencies including DEA agents, Secret Service, and prison guards.

DC had a joyous Pride celebration yesterday despite Trump’s bday tanks rolling in across town. Hate the fascism. Love the noncompliance and solidarity in the streets. #FreeDC #FreeDavidHuerta #FreeKilmarAbrigoGarcia #FreeUsAll

A sure sign that Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center is a roaring success is when we see events being sponsored by such leading corporate benefactors as “Moxie Pest Control”

ICE attacked the wrong person—SEIU California President David Huerta—while he peacefully observed. Now 750,000 furious SEIU members are rising in outrage. “Wrong side. Wrong state. Wrong union.” This isn’t just overreach—it’s a full-blown assault on labor and civil rights.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

Now that a judge ordered the return of the $500m dollar building that MPD helped steal, do we get an apology from my CM, Brooke Pinto, for calling the thieves “new leadership”? Or a hearing on how MPD helped steal a building? Will MPD help return the building? #USIP @maustermuhle.bsky.social

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie. The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

Give this a read. Yes, home rule is just one of many places in which the current clown prince regime is completely ignoring reality. The attack on the fundamental value of self governance is particularly gross, though, and it's yet another reminder that DC needs statehood, yesterday.
