I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:

“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”

It’s time for #RowdyAudi and a #FreeDC!

Wave your yellow cards and chant “Free DC” with @freedcproject.bsky.social and @spiritsquadron.bsky.social at the 51st minute. We won’t stop until DC is the 51st state.

Washington Spirit games have become a massive bastion of protest against Trump's military takeover of DC. Thousands of people chant "free DC" at the 51st minute of every game now.

These were being handed out by @freedcproject.bsky.social outside of Audi Field today

A photo of a yellow business card that reads:

DC residents deserve to have the power over our local government.

We are no longer willing to accept anything less.

Raise your card and join us in chanting "Free DC" when the clock reaches 51!

Prioritize joy. Take up space. Organize.

Today would be a really great day for both @eleanornorton.bsky.social and @mayorbowser.bsky.social to step down. DC is in a crisis and we deserve so much better than someone who completely fails to meet the moment AND someone who chooses to side with a mf'ing dictator rather than her District.

State of DC: ICE and MPD are starving out Mt Pleasant community members - people are too scared to come to the weekly neighborhood Catholic Charities food distribution.

Traitors to the city they swear to protect.

Last night at the @washingtonspirit.com game, the crowd completely erupted in "FREE DC!" -- a beautiful, powerful moment among many horrifying ones. I 💙 DC.

DC feels overwhelming right now — helicopters, sirens, bad news by the minute — especially if you're sitting alone at home.

Joining groups like Free DC reminds us we’re not alone, and that together we can protect the place we love. freedcproject.org

Turns out the real unity is in leaving your constituents behind.

I hope that if we ever have a election for mayor again in DC, there are relentless attack ads about Bowser skipping town when the district was taken over by a fascist dictator

Maria Langholz @marialangholz.bsky.social · Aug 14

I actually don't care at all what the "family commitment" is that Bowser has in Martha's Vineyard. Do you know how many families are being torn apart and people are losing their homes today?
