We asked MPD for a full list of who is policing DC under Trump’s federal takeover. They replied with badge numbers REDACTED---resisting accountability.
We've made the badgeless roster searchable and public:

Banning Covid vaccines, making burning the flag something you get thrown in jail for, and the prolonged public torture of Garcia… that’s 3 shattering headlines after I’ve been awake for 5 minutes, fuck

Wife: I’m going to go grocery shopping today.
Me: sure, let me just run by the store right quick to make sure there aren’t any fascist check points set up between here and there.
This is real life. #FreeDC

Here are 3 things you can do to help DC right NOW:
1️⃣ Ask your reps to support the termination resolution (freedcproject.org/termination).
2️⃣ Pressure governors from WV, OH, SC, MS, LA, AL & TN to not send troops.
3️⃣ Fly DC flags, post #FreeDC signs, & MAKE NOISE until this hostile takeover is over.

I wasn't too concerned about more federal agents in D.C. or even National Guard. Those have limited impacts.
I'm *very* concerned about a takeover of the Washington, D.C. Metro P.D.
Policing is different. A full-scale takeover? With access to officers and MPD intelligence files? That's scary.

Trump is invoking Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, which authorizes him to seize control of the entire DC police department for a maximum of 30 days.
This is insane stuff. D.C. is not in the grip of a crime wave. Crime has been falling for three years now. Violent crime is at a 30-year low.

We are seeing in real time why DC needs the full power and protection of statehood.
Deploying the National Guard to a state without a request from state leaders is unlawful.
The fact that he could do it in the capital city is a massive vulnerability to our entire national democracy.

DC statehood shows Dem weakness goes back a while.
Occasional lip service, but barely even that, and effectively took the stance that hundreds of thousands of US citizens should be disenfranchised because it’s unfair that they’d elect Dem Senators, which would make the Senate less disproportionate.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.
Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
