Not every day I agree with Rand Paul.
Yesterday was incredible — and today, we keep organizing.
Tomorrow we're headed to the Senate and will host a teach-in about juries with @harrietsdreams.bsky.social. Tuesday, college students walk out. Later this week get trained on non-cooperation, and more. Details at FreeDCproject.org/events.
But the stadium!
Jury duty is a powerful tool for ensuring fairness and justice — and it's a tool that DC residents can use right now.
Join our teach-in on Monday in partnership with Harriet's Wildest Dreams on the Jury Information Project. freedcproject.org/event-list/j...
Truly fascinating graphs about Americans' (inaccurate) perceptions of their fellow citizens. today.yougov.com/politics/art...
A family outside their home. Their deck is loaded with guns.
A man in his living room. His living room is full of guns. There's also a big safe labeled "Liberty."
A man outside his home. The walkway into his home is full of guns.
A woman outside her garage. The front of her home is full of guns, some laid out in a star formation.
IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

I don’t understand why you didn’t fling yourself at him. 🙂
The West Virginia government/lobbying groups spend hundreds of thousands (if not millions) on tourism marketing in Washington DC. TV, radio, internet, WMATA ads etc.
DMV area liberals spend millions of dollars on tourism every year in West Virginia. (Myself included).

Why can they find places to sleep for national guard troops coming from other states to occupy DC, but not for homeless ppl.
In Jan 2020, they used hotels for the guard. Will they do the same this time?
If so, why is there $ for the army to stay in hotels but not homeless ppl?

We are suing to block the federal government takeover of DC police.
By illegally declaring a takeover of MPD, the Administration is abusing its temporary, limited authority under the law.
This is the gravest threat to Home Rule DC has ever faced, and we are fighting to stop it.
Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right.
This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.

Best part, I think, is that he’s trying to threaten his way into the <checks notes> Nobel Peace Prize.

Can't wait to hear it, and so excited to see the Free DC logo. I hope everyone reading this will check out freedcproject.org/allies ! They're a great local group prioritizing joy, taking up space, and organizing.
DC, here are some things I saw be really effective to protect your community when under federal occupation. From a Los Angeleno with love.
First, things to know-
They are about to make up a bunch of shit to justify their existence.
Two, they are going to try and make abusive public examples.
Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is.
Response: one of many beautiful community murals.
Brilliant
A work of art.

@mdlegcoalition.bsky.social
The Administration’s actions are unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful.
There is no crime emergency in DC. Violent crime reached historic 30-year lows in 2024, and is down 26% so far in 2025.
We are considering all options and will do what's necessary to protect DC residents' rights and safety.
DC residents and allies!! It’s time to turn your anger at the federal takeover of law enforcement into action with @freedcproject.bsky.social 🧵
FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:
*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)
Do you feel safer?
