Nolberto should still be here. Federal police should not be chasing people through our communities and killing innocent people because of it. Last night in the pouring rain, we came together to remember Nolberto, honor his memory, and demand justice in his name. #JusticeForNolbertoMeza
love that all politicians got the message from corporations that the best we can ask for now is “guardrails” instead of regulations, taxes, etc.
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 5d agoI stood with local and state elected officials to say that we cannot approve any more AI data centers until we have federal guardrails to protect local communities like Saline Township from being run over by the likes of DTE, Oracle, and OpenAI.

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.
