El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
Thanedar is the 11th incumbent member of Congress to lose renomination this cycle. That's the most for a non-redistricting cycle since 1948 (of course, this year is arguably a redistricting cycle too). centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/...

With one day left until tomorrow’s 5pm filing deadline, there are a total of *51 ANC single-member districts* with no candidate having pulled papers (as of 5pm, Aug. 3). This equates to 14.8% of all SMDs—interested DC residents can run as official write-in candidates on Nov. 3!

This means that 18.8% of the District’s 345 SMDs don’t have any candidate running yet… dcboe.org/getContentAs...
Every act of defiance- big or small, every refusal to let this regime change our hearts, every time we speak out or show up, matters. Come bask in some community spirit and help collectively heal some broken hearts.

Brad Johnson@climatebrad.hillheat.com · 10mo agoThe neo-Nazi ICE goons that @mayorbowser.dc.gov collaborates with are targeting the DC Bilingual elementary school. This morning, they conducted their third abduction during school drop off time in front of the children #bigballsgoonshow
Many of them volunteered to be here, because the pay is so high. Feel free to ask them, there’s no reason they should feel comfortable being here.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayWhitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Dark days ahead if Pirro is too tethered to reality to continue to serve as DC’s US Attorney
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"
James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
TODAY @ NOON: Trump's "DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force" has now made more than 13,000 arrests, often based on illegal searches and rights violations. When those cases come to court, Jeanine Pirro is breaking legal ethics. Join us at noon as we mark one year of DC's occupation: bit.ly/free-dc-aug-3
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
Every El Pasoan knows where they were on August 3rd, 2019. Today remains a solemn day, and despite the passing of time, seven years later our community continues to feel the pain, loss, and devastation from the senseless violence of that day.
Say Julian Bailey’s name in the same breath as Alex Pretti and Renee Good. They were all senselessly murdered by Trump’s federal agents.
Free DC@freedcproject.bsky.social · 4d agoJulian Bailey's widow finally received the autopsy report in his death this week. The findings? U.S. Marshals shot him six times in the back. www.wusa9.com/article/news...
Trump expects Jeanine Pirro to serve his agenda, not justice, and it's on crystal clear display today.
Accurate. So we will be mobilizing voters to get them the fnck out

@jocelynbenson.bsky.social please speak out about this! Gov. Whitmer has been a huge disappointment in her compliance with Trump's establishment of an occupying force in our DC neighborhoods
Free DC@freedcproject.bsky.social · 5d ago.@JocelynBenson.bsky.social If you were MI Gov today, would you bring your troops home from DC before school starts?

Mine is: it's our city but the 700,000 people in DC have no say in it because we have no vote. We need to be a state, not a colony. @togetherfordc.bsky.social @dcfpi.bsky.social
“As for Bowser, she hopes the Grand Prix will become an annual event.” So glad we’ll have a new mayor by next summer.
