The square dance at Pierce Mill on Sat was hours of pure joy. Sadly at 10 pm HSI and US Marshals showed up in cars with blacked out plates But then a dozen+ people stepped away for an hour to document and ensure an Uber driver was not taken by them. So proud of DC. #FreeDC

NYtimes: Attacks on immigrants, Trump personally called into a Kennedy Center meeting to get his name back on, DHS planes, Feds illegally surveilled in MN, & Dr Phil wants Greenland to drill. The only use of the word “audacious” is an article about DSA members running for office in primaries.

lol- Confirming for you that the nearly year long military occupation of our capital that Hegseth says will go to Jan 2029 is not at all about the national guard helping people out during a health emergency #FreeDC

The Tropical Storm Arthur climate disaster scene seems like a good time to remind everyone that DC has been occupied by National Guard from the Gulf South for 10 months. Write to LA, MS, AL, SC, GA, NC, SC govs to send them home: freedcproject.org/guard

But no one can see it has been removed and its rightful name is not visible!

The crowd is giddy about removing the Trump blight from the Kennedy Center. It’s slow going, but it’s a gorgeous night and the vibes are lovely. Thanks @normeisen.bsky.social

The entire mall is a caged faux ballroom of plywood covered in what looks like 3-D Stickers of columns. Military as political props all over and the reflecting pool looks almost as gross as the UFC cage fighting ring thingy

I love serviceberry and mulberry season in DC. It’s delicious and we are lucky @ddotdc.bsky.social and neighbors plant fruit trees :). Also, 10 months of military occupation is exhausting, and everything about the Federal District is a tacky dystopian mess.

Friday news dump alert! For just $1.65 million per day National Guard from 15 states fight crime in DC by hiking in Rock Creek Park! And next week the House votes to spend $2.4BILLION to keep them here until the 2028 election so they can help prevent a transfer of power. “Safe and beautiful!”

In our 6th month of military occupation and federal surge forces, DC is celebrating #TransitEquityDay and the economic noncompliance that beat back the racial authoritarianism of Jim Crow. S/o to Claudette Colvin for paving the way! #FreeDC #BoycottTarget #CongressStopOverturningDCLaws

We were planning to get a donut from #KrispyKreme but the guys with the long rifles at Dupont circle reminding us we are under military occupation turned us around. #FreeDC #EndTheOccupation

On the Metro in DC. Though we saw aimless Fed agents last night, right now there are no bored armed agents of the state roaming, just loads of people heading to meet friends/family, and on errands. I’m repping @altusaid.altgov.info @solidstatebooksdc.bsky.social @freedcproject.bsky.social

At UDC teach-in hearing about how DC residents were stripped of rights in 1800, then had home rule, then in the 1870s in reaction to Black men voting, stripped of rights again until 1970’s struggle for modern home rule @ankitjaindc.bsky.social Kelsye Adams Derek Musgrove @freedcproject.bsky.social

Before dawn on a metro not headed to an airport or Union station is full of people quietly heading to school or work or an errand. None of the phone conversations or frantic text/email typing of rush hour, just heads tilted down to phones & eyes closing sometimes, giving in to the lull of the train

Okay but it looks like the Dishonest Oligarchs’ Grift to Elon (DOGE) is going to run into some pesky little transparency laws.

Climate chaos is heart wrenching and created drought and year round fire conditions in CA. The proximate cause may be lines but the underlying cause is the dirty fuels those lines were carrying. Can the @nytimes.com please speak the truth about this?

The Chinatown exhibit is right next to the amazing exhibit of pre WWII Japanese American Artists. All fire and a may make for a great snow day activity? #Smithsonian #AmericanArt

We’re on Amtrak now if that makes it any better. #ClimateGuilt No one: Me: I admit it! I flew too much this year!

Bright side: I always like seeing DC listed under 'find your STATE'. We should be a state! Dark side: Insurance companies are refusing to cover homes in DC and everywhere. Who will buy an uninsurable house you can't get a mortgage for? #ClimateCrisis www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I took the metro to a #PostOffice and renewed our passports. Every 15 mins they helped another family worried about MAGA policies get a passport. Plus the new electric mail trucks are cool! Post Offices are a much better use of our collective money than tax cuts for billionaires.

Sharing pics from a walking tour yesterday of the lost Slash Run river through DC with @imagineterrain.bsky.social dropping so much local historic knowledge! He’s offering another tour next Sunday! Nice to meet/see you @markjauslander.bsky.social @wvistheduck.bsky.social @sunildasgupta.bsky.social

I came to see the outcast realize her power and refuse to comply with the narcissistic populist but was totally thrilled by the bicycles and trains. #Wicked
