You would think that after witnessing immigrants being kidnapped off our streets, ARMED national guards being deployed to our city — often time surrounding our children— these COWARDS who voted in the name of crime and safety would realize that these bills have NOTHING to do with crime and safety.
Congressional Democrats voted today to sell out Washington DC and their constituents, as numerous Dems backed bills advancing the Trump takeover of DC. After meeting with our Council and saying nice things, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and leadership *declined* to whip a No vote on the bills

For folks in DC: this takes away so much of our people power.
For folks outside of DC: Watch what is happening here, and take note. Already, they are moving #ICE to other cities and doing the same tactics there.
Reach out to your member of Congress and tell them to vote no on these bills. #FreeDC

Mayor Bowser, "shared priorities" with this administration means having masked agents disappear our neighbors in the middle of the night.

It means soldiers with assault rifles in our neighborhoods.

It means arresting children.

These are the priorities of a dictator. DC does not share them.
Bowser welcomes federal law enforcement presence indefinitely
Bowser issued an executive order Tuesday requiring local coordination with federal law enforcement “to the maximum extent allowable by law.” The order gives no expiration date.

@uninoticias.bsky.social covered a kidnapping we witnessed. There were‼️20‼️armed HSI, FBI, US Park Police, DCDSS, MPD, & US Marshals (including a propagandist!) for one person who is just trying to support his family. Thankfully, DC residents are resisting! #FreeDC www.univision.com/local/washin...

NYC says Free DC. Let’s be clear: this is a white supremacist power grab to seize more control over our lives, to distract from the MAGA regime’s crimes, and to enforce their Jim Crow agenda. None of us are free until we all get free. Take action at our link in bio.
