We are facing the most serious threats we've ever seen from Washington, DC.
This administration is demonizing us for a simple reason: We get in its way when it tries to destroy public lands and wildlife.
We need all our allies with us. Please give now ➡️ bit.ly/4raxigL

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

You know what's scary? Drowning in plastic! 😱
But a bipartisan, commonsense bill, the Research for Environmental Uses and Sustainable Economies (REUSE) Act, takes an important step toward tackling the plastic pollution crisis.

There's a sign wave to support immigrants at the same intersection this afternoon. Hopeing we get a good turnout.
Also, this video should be credtied to Raphi Talisman, who was on his way back from dropping his child off at school when he came upon this. He's a professional photographer.

ICE is making communities LESS SAFE. Hyattsville, MD, just outside of DC during a busy rush hour morning commute this week. Unacceptable!

Anyone who thinks ICE is making communities safer needs to see this. During a brutal "arrest" an ICE agent accidentally drops his gun and kicks it towards bystanders before brandishing it at civilians in a busy intersection during morning rush hour. Terrifying.

MSNBC frames this as "an unexplained phenomenon" so:
This administration is trying to silence people by charging them with bogus felonies. And grand juries - people like you and me - are refusing to return indictments based on bogus charges.
Phenomenon explained.

Grand jury rejects yet another felony indictment in Trump's D.C. crackdown
In at least three cases so far, grand jurors have refused to approve felony charges against people the administration said assaulted law enforcement.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I am 100% sure that crime in DC has skyrocketed under trump's invasion. It may have reduced petty theft, but these masked goons are themselves breaking laws and causing serious injuries and harm. Not to mention all the lawlessness in the admin itself.

Trump’s DC takeover produces moderate drop in crime — and huge spike in immigration arrests | CNN Politics
In the first week after Trump’s DC police takeover, the city saw a moderate drop in reported crime — and a far larger surge in arrests of immigrants, a CNN analysis found.

I've lived in + around DC most of my life. Yes, we had crime. But the street crime was mostly about desperate people doing desperate things. Not monsters feeding on pain. These 'troops' are the monsters inspiring fear + inflicting pain for fun. I've never felt less safe.

It's not about protecting us; it's about silencing dissent.
Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...
More people in Ohio need protection from violent crime than there are people in D.C.
Governors of three states — Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia — are sending members of their state National Guards to D.C. to … well, theoretically to combat crime but, if the past week is any in...
