Protests often get the attention, but D.C. residents have been engaging in smaller acts of resistance to Trump's federal surge into the city. They are recording ICE agents and calling in thousands of sightings to a tip line, helping scared families get kids to school, and more.

Happy Labor Day, everyone!

STATEMENT FROM COUNCILMEMBER ROBERT WHITE: URGENT CALL TO END FEDERAL OCCUPATION IN D.C.

Today outside the U.S. Capitol: Members of the D.C. Council joining Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Rep. Glenn Ivey to condemn the federal surge. “What is happening is devastating to our community. It is unacceptable and cruel and has no place in this city or country,” says CM Janeese Lewis George.

This morning I stood with Free DC organizers, Council colleagues, and members of Congress to make clear that we want the surge of federal forces out of the District, NOW. This occupation is unnecessary, expensive, and dangerous and I am unequivocal: FREE DC.

NEW: We are suing to block the unlawful deployment of National Guard troops to DC. Armed soldiers should not be policing American citizens on American soil. The forced military occupation of the District of Columbia violates our local autonomy and basic freedoms. It must end.

DC residents pay more federal taxes per capita than any state and fought and died in our nation's wars. We deserve the right to set our local laws and an independent Attorney General accountable to the people of DC. I strongly oppose the 13 anti–DC Home Rule bills in Congress.

Not one toe stepped in D.C. City Hall. Not one consultation with D.C. City Council or law enforcement. Not one public hearing. Not one voice from D.C. heard. Just another power grab dressed up as “public safety.” Since our colleagues seem more concerned with pleasing the White

The DC I know is worth fighting for. I’m Janeese Lewis George, and I’m running for Mayor.

Today, I introduced the Save Oak Flat From Foreign Mining Act, my first bill in Congress.

I’m proud to introduce my first bill in Congress: the Save Oak Flat from Foreign Mining Act. It’s time to protect sacred land, honor Tribal sovereignty, and defend Arizona’s water from foreign corporations.

ICE is a lawless agency under this Administration – operating with no transparency, no accountability, and open disregard for basic due process. No family in our community should live in fear, and I will not rest until we get clear answers and accountability.

Donald Trump just gave the title of Oak Flat—a sacred site to Indigenous communities in AZ and NM—to a “FOREIGN-OWNED” copper mining company. These are public lands that have been protected for generations, as communities have warned mining and drilling would destroy this sacred

America first is letting foreign companies come into the US to mine copper?

NEWS: Pete Hegseth is invoking "national security" to exempt the oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico from having to follow endangered species laws. FYI there are only ~50 Rice's whales left in the Gulf. They are at risk of extinction. notus.org/climate-enviro…

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters

🚨Republicans just voted 50-49 to hand the Boundary Waters to a foreign mining company that will pollute its headwaters & ship every last mineral to China. Now it goes to Trump's desk, who has financial ties to the billionaire behind the deal. They're not even pretending

The fight over the roadless rule has long focused on the West, but its repeal could fragment some of the last pristine forests in the eastern United States. bit.ly/4sIA8cc
