Once, in elementary school, I forged signatures on a petition to ban heavy textbooks which we had to carry home. Even with the 200 signatures, the motion didn’t pass.
Wanna know how bad the Arizona legislator's petition forgeries were? Here's the examples from the Austin Smith indictment.

This is an important piece, but it leaves out a key detail - commercial vehicles (incl vehicles “used in commercial pursuits” are prohibited from the B-W parkway. That is part of why this selective enforcement can happen in the first place.
NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill.

the pet food bank near me has been having to close early from running out of food, so if this is your lane this is another way to help
With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

The agent telling Alex to move away has been at the two stops I witnessed yesterday & Tuesday. A clear pattern here of ICE targeting people during morning commutes.
I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.
