It’s freezing cold both in DC and in Texas. Here in DC check in with unhoused neighbors and call the DC shelter hotline at 202-399-7093 if they’re in need of help or extra blankets. And support DC mutual aid! In Texas you can support MA groups throughout the state: #WeKeepUsSafe

Welp, @DCPoliceDept are being sued for stop-and-frisk data, AGAIN! #EndStopandFrisk #StopMPD #DefundMPD #DefundDCPolice – at Washington, DC
The ACLU-DC is suing the District (again) over its failure to release stop-and-frisk data. MPD is required by law to collect this data. The ACLU sued over the same issue in 2018 and settled after MPD released a limited data set.
Went to support OccupyDC at their Mutual aid and caught @MayorBowser slipping! We questioned her about police brutality and Officer Sutton still being employed. When we asked about defunding the police, she left.

I wish folks would stop telling young people how to manage their money. I paid $310 for my first apartment. Based on inflation, it should go for $850 per month now but the rent is $1600. You can’t “personal finance” your way out of of greedy landlords and depressed wages

How about @DCPoliceDept giving the Black liberation protestors their phones back for a fresh start? (Cellphones have been held as evidence following summer 2020 mass arrests — all charges have been dropped)

In other news, America's billionaires could give everybody in the country a $3,000 stimulus check and still be richer than they were before the pandemic. It's past time for a wealth tax.

It’s truly stunning how a president who was impeached twice and lost popular vote twice appointed a third of Supreme Court & a fourth of federal judiciary
