Last minute plug here — today is the first fundraising deadline for the Free DC Slate. There are 48 of us running to take over the DC Democratic Party and fight for the people! If you believe in a Free DC, please throw in a few bucks for our campaign expenses:

A World Cup “peace prize” for Trump, and ICE raids for everyone else? I stood with fans and families today at the No ICE In Our Cup rally. The World Cup should bring joy, not fear.
Today, community members and organizers came together in Columbia Heights! The message: WE AINT BUYING IT!
The goal: rerouting our dollars to small and local businesses!
Genius
Only two nations in the world use cash bail: the Philippines and the United States.
DC eliminated cash bail more than 30 years ago because it's wrong to have one system of justice if you're rich and another if you're poor.
House Dems, DC is watching your votes on H.R. 5214.
We thank all of the members who are standing up for the people of DC! The reps that went to bat for DC help us to stay in the fight to protect our home and each other!
Democrats, VOTE NO on H.R. 5214 and 5107!!!
The House has passed H.R. 5214, a bill to return DC to cash bail.
Cash bail creates two tiers of justice, one for people with money and one without. DC abolished it more than 30 years ago and crime has dropped precipitously since.
H.R. 5214 is wrong and we will continue to fight its passage.
Spirit only having two players across two Best XI’s is wild to me
But hey, more motivation for Saturday
A screenshot of CSPAN's shot of the House floor, showing votes on H.R. 5107. 233 "yea" vote and 190 "nay" votes.
The House has passed H.R. 5107, a bill to undo basic transparency and accountability measures for DC police.
Rolling back laws around police accountability is dangerous and will encourage abuse of power.
H.R. 5107 is wrong and we will continue to fight its passage.
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.
🗣️”Free DC” at the 51st minute, pass it on.

Speaking of @spiritsquadron.bsky.social , shout out to them having Free DC/Free Portland ribbons. Proudly chanted at 51.
S/O to Croix Bethune in this clip from @nbcwashington.com
"We don't want to play a 3 hours soccer game. That was insane."
"We're just trying to be the light of the city. I know y'all hear the chants "Free DC" that are going on and the signs that are there."

Greetings from DC
Our entire national democracy will always be at risk until we actually protect the capital of this country.
Everyone across this country needs a free DC. - Kaya Chatterjee

A photo of a yellow business card that reads: DC residents deserve to have the power over our local government. We are no longer willing to accept anything less. Raise your card and join us in chanting "Free DC" when the clock reaches 51! Prioritize joy. Take up space. Organize.
These were being handed out by @freedcproject.bsky.social outside of Audi Field today
There was a joint Free DC chant here at BMO. Two cities who have a deep understanding of being occupied by their own government. Dope to see and hear.
This attack on our communities is bad for DC and dangerous for the country.
To the unions, grassroots groups, justice organizations, and voters who support these members of Congress, be sure to let them know this is not the leadership you want.
Today @repkimschrier.bsky.social @repdarrensoto.bsky.social @repgregstanton.bsky.social Rep. Norma Torres, Rep. Derek Tran, @gene4va.bsky.social and @georgewhitesides.bsky.social chose Trump's agenda of detention rather than siding with the people of DC.

31 Democrats who voted with Trump and against DC
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. (🧵)
