The District of Columbia is under attack today — not from violent gangs or thieves, but by the President of the United States.
The President's weaponization of the Home Rule Act is a direct attack on the 700,000 residents of DC and we will not stand for it.

We see you and appreciate you.
The House Committee on Rules is meeting now to discuss three bills that would interfere in DC in different ways.
DC residents oppose these and ALL attempts to interfere in our local government. Earlier today we delivered the following letter to members of the Committee.

Grateful for this good trouble!
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Thank you @afsc-org.bsky.social for speaking truth to power again and again.
We’ve canceled planned advertising with The New York Times after it refused to allow an ad referring to Israel’s genocide in #Gaza.
Joyce Ajlouny, AFSC's General Secretary, called the refusal “an outrageous attempt to sidestep the truth.” afsc.org/newsroom/new...

We have less than three weeks. Free Leonard Peltier. A juror held anti Native American views, the prosecutor believes he should be free and that the case wasn’t made. A witness recanted. Even if you don’t agree w that, he is not well and in his 80’s. Let him live his final years with his family.

I wrote about South Korea's heroic coup resistance, which is basically a recap of all the incredible BlueSky reporting from today, and how I wish I were in the position to hoist my own representative's ass over a military baricade: www.laura-bassett.com/p/south-kore...
South Koreans just squashed a fascist coup in 6 hours
We could learn a thing or two about how to resist fascism from the people who did it efficiently in the middle of the night.
