Join us tomorrow, August 13 for a strategy session about community safety in DC. As DC faces up to 45 days of federal occupation, we know it’s going to be up to all of us to help make sure DC’s young people stay safe in the face of even harsher overpolicing. Register: bit.ly/free-dc-youth-strategy
The District of Columbia is under attack today — not from violent gangs or thieves, but by the President of the United States. The President's weaponization of the Home Rule Act is a direct attack on the 700,000 residents of DC and we will not stand for it.
The President taking over local control of MPD & putting the US military onto the streets of DC under the guise of public safety is wrong. It’s an extreme, outrageous, and dangerous move for our city and the safety of all our residents. (1/5)
There’s such a constant stream of bad that it almost gets normalized, but there are still things that stop you dead in your tracks.

Trump to deploy National Guard to D.C. and federalize city police
The news comes on what the president is calling the "Liberation Day" of D.C.

This is happening with such ease because everyone has just accepted DC being a colony. There was a trifecta where we could have gotten statehood. And now here we are.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 12mo ago"So we're getting this information from multiple sources [...] within the mayor's office and within Metro Police Department, that President Trump, come tomorrow, will deploy the National Guard along the streets of DC." www.wusa9.com/video/news/n...

The 51st@51st.news · 12mo agoThree days remain to hit the goal in our campaign to hire @maustermuhle.bsky.social full-time. We know there's a ways to go, but with less than half left to raise...we could reach it easy peasy if each person who donated asked one friend to give too. givebutter.com/SsQ8CG

The Senate passed a tiny, logistical fix for DC’s budget and President Trump endorsed it. Now the House is ignoring it, wrecking DC’s finances out of pure apathy. It’s unacceptable. The House must act.
Tomorrow! Join us for Enrollment Saturday from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. ✔️ Get help enrolling/re-enrolling for the 2025-26 school year! ✔️ Join the Bunker Hill PTO for a playdate (complete with bubbles and chalk, of course) in the BHES playground! 📆📆📆
It's garden exploration season! 🌱💕 I'd add Franciscan Monastery, US National Arboretum, and Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens to this list as a few more *free* options in DC!
