"For first time, two leading Israeli human rights groups accuse Israel of genocide in Gaza" "Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI), announced it was joining B’Tselem in calling Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide.” amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/28…

Urgent: We have learned that Trump is planning "7 nights of action," rounding up homeless people and attempting civil commitment or arrests for as many as possible. There is no space in shelter right now.

It's important to be angry about this AND to also recognize that federal law enforcement is consistently used against DC residents. Figuring out whether the cop detaining you is Park Police, ICE, or MPD is a risky game many people have to continually play.

To be clear, DC police do this all the time--there are videos from 2018 of people sitting in front of their homes getting questioned and frisked. And it's clear right now that MPD is actively cooperating with the feds and even directing them on where to go.

This is the DC police choosing to collaborate with the feds. Not being forced. Choosing too. Like they have consistently chosen to work with them for decades. Because there is no daylight between them, their tactics, or their violent goals.

As DC deals with a federal take over of police and increases it’s cooperation with ICE and clearing homeless encampments multiple sources tell NBC4 Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser has left town for Martha’s Vineyard

UPDATE : DC to target 25 encampments tonight, including MLK library.

Video of evictions at Washington circle. These folks weee told last night they could stay until Monday.

NEWS: MPD is no longer in Washington Circle Park. An estimated 10 tents between 22nd and K down to 26th and L NW were removed by MPD officers and DPW. DMHHS and federal officers were not on site during this. Street Sense Media 🧵

"My constituents are getting assaulted and disappeared off the street and that's cool by me and I'd actually like more of it" -- Mayor Muriel Bowser

Bowser did not directly respond on whether the results will be shared with the federal gov., potentially allowing it to target encampments. “We don’t expect that we’re gonna have homeless encampments, and we are gonna work to make sure people can come into shelter,” she said.

Appreciate this reporting from @emmauber7 but baffled that it doesn't mention that this also violates DC law, not just MPD policy. The law was significantly weakened by the Council last year but still only permits car chases if "immediately necessary to protect another person"

Federal law enforcement and National Guard are occupying our streets with the full cooperation of DC police and our mayor. Join us on Sunday in-person or virtually to learn how we got here and what we can do about it. SUNDAY Sept 7, 2-4 PM REGISTER bit.ly/occupieddc25

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.
