On September 17th, federal agents and National Guardsmen swarmed Bruce Monroe Elementary School in Park View during school drop-off and recess.
An image of federal agents gathering in front of a Washington DC elementary school. Text reads “Tell mayor Bowser no feds on our streets, no troops at our schools. Email the Bowser Administration and demand an end to MPD’s collaboration with the D.C. Task Force.”  In the lower left corner is a QR code that links to a web page for contacting the Mayor.Una imagen de agentes federales reunidos frente a una escuela primaria de Washington, D.C. El texto dice: Dile a la Alcaldesa Bowser - No queremos federales en nuestras calles, no queremos soldados en nuestras escuelas! Manda un correo electrónico a la Administración de Bowser y demanda un fin a la colaboración entre la policía local (MPD) y el Task Force D.C. federal!
En la esquina inferior izquierda hay un código QR que enlaza a una página web para contactar a la alcaldesa.

i don't like this take of people basically ignoring the guard or going on with their lives equals people have accepted them. What exactly is it you want me to do when i see them every ten seconds and i still have to finish walking to work?

New: We pieced together dozens of violent incidents from the ICE agents seen in viral videos from Virginia this week. They've roamed across multiple states, but are most often working in Chicago. We also verified the identity of Martin Lagunas, the fed who pointed his gun at a woman on Monday:

Cops love these shock gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it.

The D.C. Task Force is surveilling and intimidating Washingtonians. Why are MPD and federal agents taking photos of community members on the sidewalks of their own neighborhoods? What are they doing with these photos? 1/2

We spoke with Mitch McConnell today for 20 minutes, and he said to withdraw the National Guard from DC, to stop sending violent federal agents to patrol our streets, Mayor Bowser should resign, and we should protect Families not Feds.

Arrests at the reflecting pool have captured the country’s attention, but this federal overreach is nothing new for Washingtonians. Swipe for more about the occupation D.C.
A picture of four federal agents in vests standing in front of the Reflecting Pool in washington D.C.’s National Mall. The Washington monument is in the distance. Below the image is text that reads: “If you care about the Reflecting Pool arrests you should care about the federal occupation of DC. 

At the bottom is the image is the logo for Families Not Feds/Familias No FederalesThe text reads: On July 9th, former Olympic canoe racer David Hearn pleaded not guilty to outrageous, politically motivated felony vandalism charges. Hearn is one of at least four Americans who’ve been wrongfully arrested by federal agents at the behest of the Trump administration, in an effort to cover up his botched “renovations” of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. 

The Reflecting Pool arrests have captured the nation’s attention, but this overreach and abuse by federal law enforcement is not new to the 700,000 residents of Washington, D.C.  

For over a year, federal agents and the National Guard have occupied our streets under the guise of the Make D.C.Safe and Beautiful Task Force. The text reads: 

D.C. is experiencing a “summer surge“ under the guise of “security“ for America’s 250th. Federal agents have increased “high-visibility patrols,” and over 5,000 National Guardsmen are deployed on our streets. 

If you’re outraged by federal agents on the National Mall, you must be outraged when these same federal actors arrest, brutalize, and disappear Washingtonians, all with the full support of Mayor Bowser and the MPD. 

Protect Families Not Feds.

For D.C. residents, masked white supremacists terrorizing our streets is not new. This is everyday life under occupation by the “Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force.”
This image contains a version of the “They’re the same picture meme.”  In the upper left corner of the image there is a federal agent masking his identity with a brown baseball cap, mirrored sunglasses, and a gaiter covering his face.

In the upper left corner of the image there are multiple men shown. Each is wearing a brown baseball cap, many are wearing sunglasses, and each is wearing a gaiter covering his face. 

Below these images is text: “Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.”

In the bottom half of the image is Al image of Pam from The office. At the bottom of the image is the text: “They’re the same picture.”This image shows dozens of members of the “Patriot Front,” a white nationalist supremist group, walking the streets of Washington, DC on July 4, 2026. This image shows the masked DEA agent shown in the meme, walking the streets of Washington DC on June 30, 2026.

This July 4th, the Trump Administration celebrates the troops and federal agents that terrorize our streets. But we know the truth, the “Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force” is a racist and violent occupying force. 1/2
An image of Secretary of Defense Hegseth standing in front of uniformed National Guard. Everyone is saluting, although Hegseth’s form suggests he’s shielding his eyes from the sun. 

Above this image are headlines from news outlets reporting on Hegseth’s recent publicity stunt in DC, praising the Guard for a park restoration. 

Below the image reads “The ‘Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force’ they want you to see. The Trump Administration sanitizes D.C.’s federal occupation during ‘Freedom 250’ propaganda events. An image of the federal agents that regularly patrol DC’s streets, using pretextual stops to harass and arrest out neighbors. These agents are shown wearing masks to hide their identity, wearing gear that conceal what federal agency they’re from, and engaging in illegal activities such as filming lawful observers. 

The text above the image shows headlines from news outlets reporting on the death of a bystander, killed as a result of a high-speed chase instigated by US Park Police; the harm to our neighborhoods caused by the ongoing federal presence; and the anger of residents at our electeds for the close collaboration between The DC Metropolitan Police Department and federal agents.

Justice Jackson is right. This is thankfully the end of the road for President Trump and his allies' unconstitutional attempt to rewrite the 14th Amendment. Birthright citizenship is a settled case — again.
"Of course, the ultimate irony is that for all the talk about the detestable Dred Scott decision, the Government and the principal dissent propose a return to its core tenet. Their bottom line is that, for certain people, being born on American soil will not suffice to confer citizenship. It is that odious conclusion that the Citizenship Clause plainly rejects, as the Court explains. Ante, at 26. I add only that the Fourteenth Amendment's universalist aims should forever be the death knell for this kind of claim-one that seeks to make bloodline the marker of birthright. The America that was reborn from the rubble of the Civil War simply does not countenance that inequitable result. Thankfully, a majority of the Court remembered this today, and has dutifully preserved the most basic animating principle of our Nation's founding-that all human beings are created equal once more." The quote is attributed to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, reaffirming the right to birthright citizenship.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

On June 20th, U.S. Park Police and other unidentified federal agents killed a moped driver in Woodley Park by engaging in a dangerous and reckless high speed chase. This horrific event is a direct result of Trump and Mayor Bowser’s “Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force”. 1/2

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.
