Upsetting, infuriating, heartbreaking.
Yet another DC resident denied #parole , despite excellent grid scores and a recommendation for release.
“The barriers [to parole] are increasing. It’s time for DC to take this back,” said Washington Lawyers' Committee’s Stacey Litner.

You probably got bored of me saying this for the past 6 months, but; WE REALLY NEED ESIMS! #ConnectingGaza

This Friday, a Council of DC committee will consider the Initiative Amendment Act, which would severely constrain citizens' ability to propose ballot initiatives. This is an anti-democratic and cynical bill. The Council should not take away direct #democracy . How to oppose it: 1/3

RIGHT NOW: Hundreds chant “Free, free Palestine!” in front of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Headquarters in Washington DC #ShutItDown4Palestine

DC Action happening at 4:30 PM March 13!

Another pro-Palestinian demonstration here at a D.C. Council hearing demanding consideration of a ceasefire resolution. Rev. Graylan Hagler and Andy Shallal once again tried to talk to Phil Mendelson before getting removed from the room. Now they’re chanting outside, loudly.

MPD bike cops surround both sides of #FreePalestine protesters. MPD indicates arrests will be made. Yes, that’s Bagshaw walking by.. The People’s State of The Union (SOTU)

“Biden’s Legacy is Genocide”

BREAKING: #FreePalestine protesters shut down Pennsylvania Ave outside Capitol with giant Palestinian Flag. People’s State of The Union (SOTU). #SOTU2024

BREAKING: Hundreds - including several Veterans - block Biden’s #SOTU2024 route on Constitution Ave to demand he #StopArmingIsrael and call for a #CeasefireNow

So telling that Eric sees the 100+ primarily BIPOC folks who came down to the Wilson Building to oppose secure dc on their own time and dime as not real DC residents or workers.

But we must remember the #UsNotCrimnibus movement is strong!

Together we removed or mitigated many of the most harmful parts of #SecureDC , incl:
- pretrial detention
- DNA collection
- felony theft
- anti-mask ban
- police transparency & accountability
- police violence
- & more

DC Council passes #SecureDC 12-0, blatantly ignoring the will of the people, who have massively mobilized over the past months to oppose this hyper-racist crime bill & its many grotesque predecessor bills.
