We are suing to block the federal government takeover of DC police.
By illegally declaring a takeover of MPD, the Administration is abusing its temporary, limited authority under the law.
This is the gravest threat to Home Rule DC has ever faced, and we are fighting to stop it.
We may not have a vote but the Senate can’t ignore our voices.
DC residents are loud and clear REJECT JEANINE PIRRO!
This fight is far from over. Plug in with Free DC today: freedcproject.org/pirro

Our call script is updated to reflect today's context. CALL SENATORS TODAY and tell them NO ON CLOTURE: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Who profits from deportations?
🚨 37% of ICE’s vendor spending flows to publicly traded companies like GEO Group, CoreCivic, and defense contractors profiting from detention, surveillance & deportation.

Vital services and protections for everyday Americans are being gutted thanks to DOGE.
And this is happening in exchange for renewing one of the biggest tax cuts in American history that will predominantly benefit people like...you guessed it...Elon Musk.
See the problem here?
We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

Love this. @tanaytatum.bsky.social is out with another good analysis following the money to identify mispriced risk for investors.

Between 2019 and 2023, GEO Group generated over $10B+ in revenue from Immigration & Customs Enforcement contracts. Today, my team and I released a list of 10 companies with the most significant vendor relationships with the agency, representing over $28B in taxpayer-dollar expenses.
NEW: Shareholders, along with consumers, advocates, and some companies themselves, are starting to play offense and stand up for diversity as a shared value and business necessity.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
Are you boycotting Target this month?
Our key takeaway? DEI should be rooted in business fundamentals, not political trends. When companies waver on DEI or other impact initiatives, they lose trust and credibility, while companies with a long-term vision will always come out ahead.
💡This week we dive into what real DEI leadership looks like by comparing the approaches of two retail giants: #Target and #Costco.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
I’ve launched a resource on Substack that I’ll be updating weekly that focuses on human capital risk. Feel free to share with folks who might be interested: open.substack.com/pub/freecapf...

“We need a gameplan to pass the torch and welcome in a new generation of leaders.”
Well said @janosmarton.bsky.social 👏🏾
I know a lot of burnt out leaders in the social justice space, but we owe it to our causes to nurture new leadership.

Bipartisanship on criminal justice has been a policy triumph. Proven reforms are making communities safer & bringing down prison numbers.
We need more of that, not less, contrary to Matt Yglesias'
screed blaming criminal justice for disorder & Dems defeat:
