In the video, I made out that Trump was waving the Green flag at the start of the race, but who was waving the checkered flag at the end?

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

#AccountabilityIsComing

This regime has done more to defend DHS agents who killed two Americans in broad daylight than it has to ensure you can afford to put food on the table or see a doctor.
 
It's disgusting.

🚨As if DC didn’t already have enough to deal with, today we learned the Senate and House will vote next wk on SJ Res. 102 and HJ Res. 142 to disapprove a bill to decouple provisions of DC’s tax code from the feds.

This would blow a $820 MILLION hole through the financial plan!

Stephen Miller is the architect of some of the worst and most dangerous of the Trump administration's policies. This includes the chaos in Minnesota. I called for his firing years ago, but he continues to serve in this White House. When will enough be enough? He should be fired.

"ICE out of everywhere." Photos of three CEOs in black and white. Brian Cornell is a white man in his early 60s with dark hair slicked back, going grey at the sides. He wears a white button down shirt open at the collar with a dark suit jacket. Christoper Nassetta is a white man in his 50s with light grey hair and a wide smile. He wears a suit jacket and tie. Chrissy Taylor is a white woman with shoulder length hair in polished waves. She wears a professional looking collared jacked. Text reads: "Tell Target, Hilton, and Enterprise to stop cooperating with ICE. FreeDCproject.org/ice-out"

Target is based in Minneapolis and ICE is using their stores.

Hilton is lodging ICE officers, and cut ties with a local operator who kicked ICE out.

And Enterprise is renting the cars that ICE uses in their raids.

USAID was killed with an ink pen.

ICE can be too.

National Nurses United (@nationalnurses.bsky.social) The largest RN union in U.S. history, with more than 225,000 nurses nationwide.

NEWS: @nationalnurses.bsky.social “demands Congress abolish ICE entirely. We will be doing everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people.”

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

ICE is violently assaulting peaceful protestors & entering homes without warrants. They shot an innocent mom in the head & used a 5-year-old as bait.

I voted against funding, but that’s not enough. Abolish and dismantle ICE. If you support this shit, you are sick in the head.

Oh look! Another symptom of competitive authoritarianism

In other news from this bizzaro hellscape upside down we’re living in, this just proves how ridiculous everything is. Compared to the people of the First Nations, EVERYONE ELSE IS AN IMMIGRANT!

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

Hit them where it hurts them - boycotts can work

The video also allegedly shows the CBP agent saying “Do something, bitch” before shots were fired. In private Signal chats, the CBP agent boasted to other officers: “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” If he felt comfortable enough communicating that to fellow employees, it speaks to an irredeemable organizational culture.

This is the second time in three months a DHS agent called a US citizen a "bitch" as he shot her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

Did the turkey also storm the Capitol on January 6th?

Refuse Illegal Orders

Thank you for standing with DC!

D.C. residents deserve the same right to govern themselves as every other community.

Yet House Republicans, who know little about D.C., are pushing bills that meddle in what should be local decisions.

I stand with D.C. leaders against these harmful attacks.

Taking Trump’s lead, House Republicans eye changes to D.C. bail, policing The Constitution gives Congress — in which D.C. has no voting representation — authority over D.C.’s laws and budget.

“This is about using Washington, D.C. as a test case to advance the far-right, MAGA agenda for blue cities across the country,” [Ankit Jain] said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference, steps from the Capitol and flanked by a couple dozen people waving red signs proclaiming, “FREE DC.”

Instead of meddling in local D.C. matters, Congress should pass the D.C. statehood bill. - Robert Garcia, Ranking Member, House Government Oversight & Reform Committee

House Democrats "strongly oppose" the anti-DC bills House GOP are pushing this week:
* H.R. 5214 - DC Cash Bail Reform Act of 2025
* H.R. 5107 – CLEAN DC Act of 2025

Keeping the House Absent, Johnson Marginalizes Congress and Himself

Republicans in Congress quiet quit their jobs. They have not shown up to vote since September 19th. They’ve only worked 14 days since July. It is unbelievably lazy and disgraceful.

Mike Johnson needs to get them back on a plane to DC to do their damn jobs!

BREAKING: Per new reporting, ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting under Kristi Noem. One was discovered to have a history of robbery and battery related to domestic violence while already in training.

Folks across the US: Wake up & realize DC is the proving ground for this admin’s authoritarianism. ICE kidnappings, NG invasions, unlawful demolitions—they test the waters here, then spread their tentacles. Stop feigning surprise when it comes for you & start fighting back in solidarity NOW. #FreeDC

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

A screenshot of a legal filing titled "District of Columbia, Plaintiff, vs. Donald J. Trump et al, Defendants." A photo of five National Guard members walking. Text reads: "Pack the Court: Guard out of DC. Friday October 24. Rally @ 12:30 PM, Hearing @ 2 PM. U.S. District Court. 333 Constitution Ave. NW. FreeDCproject.org/10-24"

Screen grab of an ABC News article. Headline reads "National Guard could stay in DC through summer 2026: Lawsuit." A photo of National Guard members walking past the Capitol building.

Trump's deployment of the National Guard in DC is wasteful, unlawful — and it could drag on for another year if we don't work to end it.

On Friday, DC's lawsuit against Trump will have its first hearing. Join us to make it clear DC wants the Guard out of our communities. FreeDCproject.org/10-24

#Senate floor update: @merkley.senate.gov
began speaking at 6:21 p.m. on Tuesday evening.

As of 7:21 a.m. Wednesday morning he has held the floor for thirteen hours.

Greetings from the nation’s capital, Washington, DC. As a lifelong resident, I can say we know your pain. Solidarity!

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

@altnps.bsky.social @alt-irs.altgov.info @altssa.altgov.info @altspaceforce.altgov.info @altusda.altgov.info

This needs to be amplified. They are planning to not pay furloughed workers.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: We know what the proven strategies are to reduce crime. Soldiers running around on our streets isn’t one of them.

Trump's militarization of DC is not about safety.

It's about suppressing Black leadership, stopping Black progress & criminalizing Black & brown youth.

If Republicans actually cared about safety, they'd invest in prevention, mental health, & community-based supports that keep people safe. #FreeDC
