Be sure to check out Mayor Bowser's other Kid Zones as well.
Research shows curfews don't work. Anyone who says otherwise is ignoring the data and spinning the illusion of safety for other people who also ignore the data.

About 15% of all U.S. hospitals are Catholic and their current policy is to provide zero trans healthcare including to adults. There have also been multiple accounts of trans people being turned away entirely for unrelated issues because of who they are. So suck the Pope off harder please
more “critical” minerals for policing, surveillance, and militarism means fewer for civilian purposes like renewable energy
perhaps the most frustrating thing about living through All This is that literally all of it was preventable and foreseeable if anyone in power had bothered to listen
I don't think that people are mean enough to ICE cops, actually. Some of you have them as family members. What are you doing to shame them?
Also if you can catch domestic terrorism charges for edgy zines or peacefully protesting in a forrest, then you might as well go all the way.
The American populace is being police into more extreme forms of dissent. The ruling class is digging their own graves.
The US dropped more than 7.5 million tons of bombs on Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia between 1965 and 1975
What actually makes the economy strong & inclusive is investing in the workers who power the economy. The mayor's proposed budget gives workers the short end of the stick inc. cutting paid leave for medical needs and slashing Pay Equity Fund for childcare workers.
Honestly, the problem with our society is that there simply have not been enough consequences for racists or rapists
John Brown did nothing wrong and should have been able to do more.
I’ve found it useful to think of disability less as a static category some people are slotted into at some point in their lives and never leave, and more as an identity that can be useful and enlightening as your body and mind and conditions change.
We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8
We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.
Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...
people who speak like this should not be in positions of power much less the head of the fucking military
we don’t get here without the decades of bipartisan anti-Iran rhetoric and foreign policy
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability
Is there not one single fucking person with any power who has a conscience?
so do we think Congress will come back from recess early or
yes it is awful when ICE breaks up families and it is just as awful when ICE kidnaps single people or those without traditional/heteronormative family structures. people have the same worth regardless of who is or isn't around them. no one deserves to be brutalized. framing matters.
is this a fucking joke
anyone attending the white house correspondents dinner is a fucking traitor
It's hard not to just scream, over and over again, that the US power elite being ok-to-enthusiastic about Israel's decades of illegal and genocidal violence against Palestinians is why Trump can openly brag about doing war crimes against Iran and it's just normal and unremarkable
Today in 1977 began the 504 sit-ins by disabled people. The protest was the longest occupation of a federal building and a reminder that our human rights and access protections were not gifts from the ableds, but fought for by us, and in this instance with a big assist from the Black Panther party.
same with DC! it’s SO annoying and wasteful
This sounds really scary and frustrating
yuuuuup
@ all the brown people in CBP and ICE
trans people belong in sports and everywhere else!
It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.
If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.
Everyone give this a share after.
