I am dismayed by the news that millions of gallons of sewage poured into the Potomac. The Potomac should be a crown jewel of D.C. — it’s heartbreaking to see it contaminated by biohazard waste.
Protecting the health of residents and our environment must always be a top priority for the District.
the goal is to normalize this, & I just wanna remind everyone that DC is still occupied by feds and the National Guard & have terrorized communities. don’t talk to me about the false flag of ‘reducing crime.’ federal agents firing their guns at civilians ARE the crime.
Went for a walk today and saw them wandering around an abandoned Logan Circle--complete charade. they should be home with their families!
Hey @altnps.bsky.social what ‘Resistance’ have you actually been engaged in? ‘Cause from where I’m standing your social media presence feels performative AF. If you could tell your colleagues to stop fucking collaborating with ICE in DC that would be cool too tysm 🖕🏻
Earlier this year some rando bitched about how ‘DC can’t even keep up its parks,’ so ofc we require federal occupation, posting photos of the fountains at Malcolm X Park…which are run by NPS, who have let this be their reality since 2019 & won’t have budgeting for them until ‘at least FY27.’
If there were any justice in this world, NPS would have all their fuckin land rights revoked in DC. Yeah—the $9mil in renovations is necessary because y’all have failed at upkeep. And how many years has it been since Malcolm X Park had functioning fountains?
An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼
This week I introduced the Safe Community Places and Policing Amendment Act of 2025. This bill ensures the District's policies reflect our values and public safety priorities by prohibiting personnel from engaging in immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant or court order.
There is literally no reason for the military to be in D.C.
The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

The Council already voted 8-4 to fund RCV after voters overwhelmingly voted to implement it, 70% of Felder’s own Ward 7 constituents included. I’m sure the fact that he narrowly won a crowded race by just over 500 votes is totally unrelated to his ‘lack of confidence’ 🫠
Just implement it. Constituencies rarely tell you with such clarity what they want. A government agency rarely says it's ready to go. C'mon.
Voters were clear that this was what they wanted. It’s a good program that expands democracy and the Board of Elections has told us they are ready to implement. It’s time to move forward.
what’s that? Anita Bonds being obfuscatory in her language? how very out-of-character for her
This is a deeply unsurprising response, but I will repeat it yet again: we—DC residents—are unified in stating that we want federal agents and the National Guard out of our city, and they do not keep us safer. This has always been about control, not public safety.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
I believe they’re referring to JLG considering a Mayoral bid to challenge Bowser (or McDuffie, if he runs in her stead), which was just confirmed this past week and which many of us overwhelmingly support.
As @mayorbowser.dc.gov is speaking to the D.C. Democratic Party meeting in Ward 5, there’s been a few interruptions from protesters angrily criticizing her over the apparent collaboration between D.C. police and ICE. They call her “complicit.”
That very MUNDANE action that you don't take because you are too busy fantasizing about being a superhero instead would actually DO something for someone. Your fantasy does not.
People want to talk about supporting our Black, native Washingtonians. Then they strip the very laws that our people have benefited from for decades - and pay lip service in the process while stealing opportunity from straight under their feet. Shame.
First it was single family, then it was new builds, now 2-4 units. The single greatest tool we have for preserving affordable housing and building generation wealth. . All sales going forward will be to be venture capital firms and private equity. This major door to homeownership closed.
To the 31 House Democrats who voted with Trump: I would never vote to disenfranchise your constituents, undermine their democratic rights, or impose harsher penalties on them against their will. Regrettably, you have done exactly that to my constituents and legislative body. Shame 😪
By a vote of 50-45, the Senate has confirmed Jeanine Pirro as the next U.S. Attorney for DC.
Pirro has already shown us she is bad for our communities. DC don't want her — we want power over our local prosecutor, permanently. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Making efforts to improve because there was a whole ass citywide campaign about how the Council can be run and operate better. And it resonated with a lot of people!

This isn't a complete thought yet, but calling provoked responses to psychologically abusive behavior "reactive abuse" doesn't sit right with me.
I think tyrants win in our world so often because we think it's *always* wrong to fuck someone up, even if they deserve it.
Sometimes, they gotta pay.
$170 billion to build hidden prisons with no oversight. To put this in perspective, this is 62% larger than the entire federal prison system.
$170 billion to drag people out of their places of work, parks, homes.
ICE will be the vehicle, the gestapo empowered by the President, to enforce his will, first among vulnerable undocumented people, then among legal immigrants, then among political rivals, then among citizens who speak out against the Trump grift.
