Terrorizing children is not keeping DC safe or beautiful. But then that was never really the point, right. Intimidation is the goal.

DoorDash seems to not care that ICE agents are shooting their workers while they on the job. Community members are the ones who have gotten Wilber medical attention in detention and legal support — without a single shred of help from this multibillion dollar corporation profiting off his labor.
An NBC News article reads: “Garcés Perez, who Lincoln-Goldfinch said lives in Austin, is a DoorDash driver. In an email, a company spokesperson confirmed Garcés Perez was making a delivery at the time, adding that DoorDash is investigating and would not release more information “at this time.””

Let’s be clear—health care is a human right, not a privilege. This is yet another attempt by the Trump administration to kick hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Americans off their healthcare. Millions are already struggling to access healthcare—and this is their plan? We will be fighting back.

Flock Safety’s surveillance network has been expanding for years. In recent months, we’ve reported on growing concerns around how US law enforcement is using its cameras, as allegations of misuse pile up. Here’s a deep dive into how we got here.

U.S. Park Police killed someone today in a high-speed chase near Woodley Park. DC leaders prohibited these chases — but last year, Congress overturned DC’s law as part of this regime’s psychotic desire to hunt people. DC leaders know what DC communities need. When Congress interferes, people die.

ICE once again using releases as an opportunity to murder people of color. They "released" a mentally-impaired woman into freezing temperatures in the middle of nowhere without adequate clothing. She froze to death. That's not an 'accident.' That was pre-meditated murder.

Threats like this are meant to get people to obey in advance and give up in advance so the regime's work of oppression and control is as easy as possible. DC, we are so much stronger than this historically unpopular, incompetent fraud. He is weaker than he wants any of us to realize.

🚨🚨 TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION is alive and well in the U.S.!!! 👀👀 D.C. residents who live in the nation's capital pay taxes but have no voting representation in Congress to help decide how our taxes are spent. As we work to fix our democracy, this HUGE hole needs urgent repair.
Flyer that says "I am a DC resident. I pay federal taxes. I have no vote in Congress." Picture of DC license plate saying "Taxation without Representation" Call to action: If you have representation, will you use it for me? Tell your members of Congress you support DC statehood."

Ten car chases. Six crashes. Park Police have new rules in Trump’s D.C.
