"If people need help in Georgia, their guardsmen should be there in Georgia, Fearer said. "We do not need them here. We do not want them here." Why Georgians should pay attention to MAGA's misuse and abuse of the National Guard's deployment to DC, in @ajc.com.

Over here in #TrinidadDC playing NationalGuard GO—gotta catch ‘em all and get them the hell out of my neighborhood and all of DC. #FreeDC

***CAN ANYONE USE A SENIOR TICKET FOR THE MARYLAND RENN FAIR TOMORROW???*** (Saturday, September 5) I have an extra ticket and would rather it doesn't go to waste!

Welp, there you have it folks. The National Guard is not here to help us. They’re here to provide cover for extrajudicial kidnappings and to promote growing authoritarianism. #FreeDC

A DC mom asking the national guard for help clearing a tree blocking her kid’s title 1 school: Her: Aren’t you supposed to be here to help? The national guard: Nope.

Update: Neighbors helping neighbors—we keep us safe! Unsurprisingly, no sign of assistance from the National Guard. #FreeDC

Rhetoricallly wondering if all the National Guard troops in DC will be helping clean up the widespread damage from the storm, or if they’ll just continue aid and abet federal agents and the occupation of our city… #FreeDC

Join me in wishing my favorite curmudgeon, @imgoph.bsky.social, a happy birthday! To say we've had a rough year is truly an understatement, and I'm thankful to have him by my side through all our ups and downs.

We spoke with three Georgia National Guard soldiers patrolling around Wheatley Education Campus during this morning’s arrival to see if they truly understand why they’re here. Spoiler alert: They don’t. They’re being punked right alongside us. #FreeDC www.instagram.com/reel/DcjtFkl...

This morning, @bogrosemary.bsky.social back on her #GoodTrouble bullshit, working on convincing the National Guard to go away. #FreeDC

This morning the Georgia National Guard chose to drive down the street in front of Wheatley in one of their unmarked vans. We ensured they know how the community feels about the militarized occupation of DC. #FreeDC

Free DC@freedcproject.bsky.social · 3w ago

It’s the first week of school in DC and armed National Guard soldiers are teaming up with federal police to patrol residential neighborhoods, including outside elementary schools. National Guard out of DC communities NOW.

Took up some space. Prioritized all the joy. We will win! #FreeDC

Geoffrey Hatchard@imgoph.bsky.social · 3w ago

The Wheatley rally was amazing! @freedcproject.bsky.social & our SCO well-represented, neighbors honked in support, @cmzparker5.bsky.social was there, & the Guard drove through at the end so we could all tell them to go home! Check ABC, FOX, Univision, AJC, & more for coverage! #FreeDC #GoWhales

Inspired by Mike’s post, I built @ngwatchdc.bsky.social . You post a photo of the National Guard and a location, and it will search DC crime data for the last time there was a violent incident nearby.

According to crimecards.dc.gov, there hasn't ever been a daytime violent crime at the corner of 18th & S NW ("ever" goes back to Jan. 1, 2010).

We refuse to normalize this. Join us, alongside @freedcproject.bsky.social, @empowereddc.bsky.social, and @wtuteacher.bsky.social, Wednesday morning as we demand safety for our students without federal policing. #FreeDC freedcproject.org/event-list/f...

Happy first day of school to my kiddo and thousands more here in occupied DC, right? This is just a little over 30mins ago in front of Wheatley Education Campus, PK3-8th, where we’ve been pushing back against the NG and federal agents (FBI today) staging at and patrolling around our school. #FreeDC

"I will say very frankly that the bad taste that this mission left in my mouth," said one Guard member. "It actually embarrasses me to be involved in any way."

As President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C. enters its second year, three guard members who served many months on the mission share their reactions with NPR. n.pr/4zBvnWF

This is the 2nd year our kids have to pass armed soldiers/agents to get to school. @starsandstripes.bsky.social (before it was gutted) alerted us- Now troops from GA and SC are targeting two mostly Black neighborhoods- Trinidad and Anacostia.

There are so many places these soldiers are needed for help with disasters around the country—Gary, Indiana, for example— and instead they’re being put up in luxury hotels and apartments in DC at a cost of 3 million dollars a day, a symbol of the president’s insecurity. www.npr.org/2026/08/24/n...

We are begging political leadership for help! This is at Wheatley EC/Joe Cole Rec. It's not just NG; fed LEOs incl. HSI are staging there, too. @cmzparker5.bsky.social @fixcircle.bsky.social @littlepagem.bsky.social @robertwhitedc.bsky.social @eleanornorton.bsky.social @freedcproject.bsky.social

I stand by not needing any reason at all for not normalizing the militarized occupation of DC, but in case you need just one, how would you feel if this was your block? Your child’s school? @notusmetro.bsky.social @maustermuhle.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/bogr... #FreeDC

There is no excuse for normalizing the military occupation of DC. NONE. NEVER. Not even for your both sides, long read on the nearly year-long, no clear end in sight, authoritarian infestation of our theoretically democratic federal colony.

The military is using my child’s elementary school as a staging spot. One block from my house. We do not live in a free society.

The National Guard is showing up in more neighborhoods; I saw them posted up at Starburst Plaza and in LeDroit Park. But they mostly stand around, hand out water, pose for pictures, and even do some neighborhood cleaning. What they're not is masked ICE agents.

Being a super voter has its perks, but getting messages from industry lobbyists masking as folks who care at all about District residents isn’t one of them. Don’t fall for their spin on the Bottle Bill.

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

Free DC@freedcproject.bsky.social · 2mo ago

For the last year and a half, DoorDash has been silent as delivery drivers in DC have been hunted in the streets and even killed by ICE and other federal police. Now, the company has come out in support of #HR9720 — the blatant attack on DC Home Rule — just so it can earn more money.

“The most tragic thing about what we’re seeing now is that this is entirely preventable,” Sam Trumbull, of @safestreetsdc.bsky.social said of the capital's rise in traffic violence despite Vision Zero pledge:

Road deaths up sharply in the nation’s capital, despite goal of reaching zero

D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser pledged to eliminate traffic deaths in the city. More than a decade later, they still haven’t gone down.

Maybe they should just practice locking the door and turning off the lights and remaining silent while hiding under their desks…or is that just appropriate for kindergartners?
