Read it and weep for what DC has been going through for 13+ months. Yes, it's made us stronger, but already disenfranchised folks who call the District home should not have to endure this extra dollop of authoritarian nonsense.

To me this is the crux of the public disconnect re: "The Law" - the second important point is that people believe that courts of law are courts of justice... and this really fucks people up. "This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice" - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Anti-trans policies are policies of deliberate harm. When they ban surgery, they make sure to provide allowances for non-consensual intersex surgeries. If they ban HRT, they always specify for trans people. They workshop these to avoid being enjoined in courts that might care about you but not us.

South Carolina state law allows governors to deploy the National Guard only under certain conditions like war, invasion, or disaster. None of those conditions were met when Governor Henry McMaster chose to participate in Trump's occupation of DC. Last week the case went to the SC Supreme Court.

It looks like D.C. police officers are now including the names and affiliations of federal agents present at arrest scenes in police reports and court documents. This stems from a transparency bill the D.C. Council passed earlier this year and @mayorbowser.dc.gov unsuccessfully vetoed.

Statement of solidarity with organizations and individuals targeted by Trump’s State Department

Washington DC — Yesterday Donald Trump’s Department of State published a new report that targets 43 elected leaders, unions, and political organizations by name.

In response, Free DC issued the following statement:


“Trump wants people who disagree with him to feel divided and afraid and that’s clearly what this list is about. We refuse to take the bait.

“It seems like Marco Rubio might be distracted by those shoes that are too big for him. For heaven’s sake George Floyd is listed here. Other people on this list include lifelong public servants, people who have spent their lives working for justice, and at least one person who has perfected the art of chocolate ice cream. Between war with Iran, escalating crises in Ukraine, Palestine, and Venezuela, starting a trade war with Canada, and accusing China of election interference, it seems like the State Department should look in the mirror and address its own problems.” 

“This list includes several organizations here in our DC community. We are in steadfast solidarity with local organizations that fight for Black Lives, the DC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, the Claudia Jones School, the National Lawyers’ Guild, and Medea Benjamin. Fear cannot divide us.”

Congress granted funds to restore 988 services for LGBTQ+ youth months ago. But it's still gone. Here's what it looks like when a service like this is ended; almost 70,000 people reaching out for help, then a cliff.
This image shows an area chart demonstrating that calls, texts or chats to 988 by LGBTQ+ youth seeking specialized services through "option 3" rose continuously from September 2022 to July 2025 — then suddenly dropped down to zero, since the option was discontinued. The visualization looks like a cliff.
