NEWS: the DC Council has proclaimed that the “D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025” is now officially law (L26-89), effective through Sept. 25, 2026! Regardless of how the Senate votes today, the 30-day review period ended Feb. 11!

Cold, you say? Is it? We said the heck with that, threw off the gloves and beautified Capitol Hill (Barracks Row near Eastern Market Metro). That orange+purple really pops!

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

Fred Trump had dementia and his family set up a fake office so he could think he was in charge while other people made the decisions. Mentioning this for no particular reason at all. Not even sure what made me think of it.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

I don't see a difference between modern domestic policing and foreign military service, so please spare me that entire discourse. It is disingenuous at best.

Abolish ICE!

Troops out of EVERYWHERE!

Power to the PEOPLE!

No worker deserves to be fired for speaking up. Not Starbucks baristas organizing for a fair contract, immigrant workers fighting wage theft, Amazon warehouse workers demanding safety, or federal workers protecting our civil rights. Stand with the #FairHousingThree! share.jwj.org/s/ojEN1A13

MAYOR FREY: “They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is BULLSHIT.”

A year of resistance, wrapped? We’re stronger than a year ago. We know our neighbors. We trust each other better. Capitalism’s end game is to divide, exhaust. We give space to resist, rest, return. 2026 will be hard. But we are here.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

DC residents have been refusing to call that airport anything but National for almost thirty years, we certainly can refuse to call that arts center anything but the Kennedy Center for three

Cacerolazo protests have been done since the 19th century. Most famously in Argentina and Chile. We’re doing them in DC, and you can too. They’re simple, legal. Best of all you get to meet your neighbors. #freedcproject

God is begging you to send these National Guard troops home to be with their families. Stop ruining their lives so that Donald can cosplay fascism.

Tonight we picketed Whole Foods in DC to tell shoppers that their dollars are supporting 🧊 and ask them to shop at Safeway, Giant & local options. I personally love My Organic Market (MOM’s). We’re calling for a #FreeDC — one way we do that is by moving our money away from Amazon affiliates!

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:

We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.

Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

BlueSky people: if you had a #mutualaid request, would you feel comfortable putting it here? A friend in dire need of #rentAssistance — facing eviction if they can’t make it up. And the emergency fund in DC is closed to applications. But also — I don’t want to deal with scammers.

My biggest takeaway from this is that Congress still gets a pension while the rest of us don't.

Reminder that we should have 3 things when we retire, pension, Social Security, and savings. Few people have more than 1 of those.
