Professors don't have the mind-control indoctrination superpowers some folks seem to think we do. We can't even get students to read the syllabus.

[Senator Peter Welch @SenPeterWelch]

Looking Latino and speaking Spanish are not reasons for the police to stop and interrogate you.

This ruling from the Supreme Court is a disgrace and goes against our core American values.

@hstreetokstreet @DCAttorneyGen They were literally taken to court for stealing wages from their employees years ago and settled? They were in DC Superior Court yesterday for failing to pay their employees the money they agreed to pay them for their labor. Hope this helps!

This is a reminder that Muriel Bowser is up for election in November 2026.

Don't forget how she threw DC residents under the bus to cozy up to Trump.

@NaTurkNaHindu Wow!!! Congratulations!! ❤️❤️❤️

Just yelled "Run the damn ball" outta nowhere. Getting some reps in for tomorrow

[The 51st @51stnews]

News from takeover week 3: Bowser's "appreciation" for feds, how D.C. fights ICE, what local educators are up against this back-to-school season, and the impact of Trump's actions on unhoused neighbors.

And .. f*ck it, a story about a local Pokémon star.https://t.co/K8WG6dtEVk

@RonDeSantis Did you read the article?

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

There's been lots of protests of Trump's federal surge in D.C., but here's a new one (that will make you healthy): Runners are going to meet up at 14th and U on Sept. 1 for a 4.5-mile Freedom Run against "Trump's fascist takeover." (Missed opportunity for a 5.1-mile option.)

@emilygrebs Congrats and well done!!

[National Homelessness Law Center @homeless_law]

Trump is spending over $1 MILLION per day to have the National Guard harass homeless people. In contrast, providing housing to every homeless person in DC would cost ~ $255k.

The solution to homelessness is housing and supports, not handcuffs and jails. https://t.co/IbUHuGpNbt

Wishing every DC student a first day filled with love, joy, and endless discovery.

We’re rooting for you.

BREAKING: National Guard is set to be armed in Washington DC starting from tonight

Atrocities Keep Getting In Frame Of D.C. Tourist’s Shot https://t.co/zClVGZpJUP

NEW: Trump says he thinks Chicago will be the next city where the federal government intervenes re crime and safety, then maybe New York

[Free DC @freedcproject_]

It is dangerous for the National Guard to be deployed in residential areas — for people here, for Guard members themselves, and for the communities back home which they are supposed to serve.

Armored tactical vehicles should not be on city streets.

[AG Brian Schwalb @DCAttorneyGen]

Let us be clear: armed soldiers should not be policing American citizens on American soil.

Instead of making DC more secure, it undermines public safety and endangers our democracy.

It’s DC today, but the same dangerous strategy can be deployed to occupy any American community.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

BREAKING: In a blatantly unconstitutional move, Trump announces plans for a new executive order aiming to eliminate mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. The Constitution grants states, not the president, the primary authority to regulate elections. https://t.co/0INtgOsScJ
