Organizers have warned about the GRU, NSID-and the many other DC Police units that rebrand but never change their violent tactics-for years. Even when they fail at their own supposed goals, MPD and the US Attny for DC keep showing they don't actually care x.com/StopCopTerrorDC/status…

New: DC courts keep tossing out MPD gun cases due to unconstitutional searches. Rather than adapting, cops seem to be doubling down. I took a look at why these tactics, as exemplified by notorious “jump out” searches, are ineffective as well as illegal. Link in thread…

In fact, Securus, the nation’s largest prison telecom corporation, recently defaulted on $1.3 billion of debt! But there is still so much more work to be done. Read more about the issue on the #Right2Hug website. 10/ 11 right2hug.org/how-corporatio…

The added cost of trying to stay in touch, forces 1 in 3 into debt, with women carrying 87% of the cost burden, and disproportionately women of color. All while prison telecom providers and their investors get rich. 5/11

Unfortunately, for millions of people across the country with an incarcerated family member, staying connected is much more difficult. A 15-minute phone call can run as high as $8.25, a 25-minute video call up to $15.00, and basic emails cost as much as $0.50! 3/11

Prison telecom is a $1.4 billion industry. While corporations & private equity firms profit, millions of families across the country are suffering. Today, we’re discussing how corporations profit off family separation and what communities & advocates are doing to fight back! 🧵

Wow! @AnitaBondsDC just suggested the District should “insinuate” to parents receiving “entitlements” that if your child isn’t in school, it may be harder to get your benefits.

Why did the cop go to work early? He wanted to beat the crowd.

Us: Make driver’s licenses accessible to recently arrived migrants. @BrianneKNadeau & @charlesallen: Did you say more moped restrictions? We got you!

An exponential increase in the number of mopeds on D.C. streets has left many residents concerned about a lack of accountability for dangerous drivers. A bill introduced in the D.C. Council on Monday could change that. wapo.st/3QmA3uI

Just want to uplift, as the Gaza solidarity encampment at GWU grows and passes the uni admin's deadline, that there's also a campaign to stop DC gov and NPS from evicting a nearby encampment of unhoused folks in the lead up to America's 250 bday. x.com/StoptheSweepsDC/status…

CALL TO ACTION!!! DC Government, the National Parks Service, and US Park Police will be evicting homeless encampments in Foggy Bottom on May 15th. Use this link to email them and tell them to STOP THE SWEEPS!!!! bit.ly/STSFoggyBottom

The scene outside the #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner #WHCD Many attendees had a very bad time trying to get in, with protesters lining the street and asking them why they’re complicit in the US media’s genocide-washing. Feel free to use these photos & credit us.
