Support local news! @51st.news is trying to expand amid massive layoffs at WaPo, but they need our help!

Spotted tonight in Georgetown where Lewis owns a home

👇🏼 THIS.

I guess this is what happens when you fire 300 reporters, hoping to replace them with AI and or three bots in a trenchcoat. Absolutely absurd behavior from Bezos and WaPo execs.

We did it, DC! We've arrived!! I just paid $7.70 for a small cappuccino in a cafe outside of the airport.

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇 When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

"This website is free" No. This website comes at a terrible cost

On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade went on national television and called for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. "Just kill 'em," he said. There hasn't been one word about it in The New York Times or The Washington Post or USA Today.

Here’s our weekly civics round-up, with different ways to get involved in organizing and resistance around the city: 51st.news/civics-round...

I find it wild that more people are talking about Tom Hanks instead of the multiple thousands of people who showed up to protest in DC yesterday.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Washington, DC, on Saturday to voice opposition to Donald Trump’s armed federal intervention in the city. This is what democracy looks like.

Thousands protest for a ‘Free DC’ on the 4th week of federal control in Washington

"Crime in Washington DC or other large cities can be a significant issue, but it doesn't excuse fascism. Just because crime exists doesn't mean the solution is military occupation."

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Ben Franklin

Worth noting: Mayor Muriel Bowser kissed the ring at Mar-a-Lago in December so Trump would force federal workers back to their offices. He fired them instead. In July, she said she got rid of BLM Plaza to protect DC autonomy. That's not going well either. www.washingtonian.com/2025/07/08/i...

Does anyone know whether @mayorbowser.bsky.social is planning a news conference or anything to respond to what's happening at the federal level???

It's a great time to support local news! Help @51st.news hire an additional reporter!

Glad the Democratic Party has finally decided to fight for something, not great that it’s to install Cuomo as NYC mayor.

"People in a position of power who could've stopped them didn't feel like it"

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. F. Scott Fitzgerald

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

@barredindc.bsky.social Just saw on your Twitter that Bub and Pops was getting charged $19k/month for a small basement space downtown. That is insanity. That space was teeny tiny. Is that a normal price? Is that part of the reason why restaurants downtown are struggling so much?

I hate everything.

Loooool, Liverpool how you toy with my emotions!! Also, it'd be just our luck for Trent to get another yellow for a defensive tackle after taking off his shirt, resulting in him getting thrown out of the game 😭🤣

Liverpool should be fucking embarrassed. What a complete disaster and insult to fans at Anfield.

Liverpool is really making me sweat this one 😭

I have so many questions about the finale of white lotus and many of them are tax based

What really ruined my viewing experience of the White Lotus finale is that Zion tells Greg he was a business major at "U of H". Anyone who went to the University of Hawaii knows it's referred to as UH, NOT U of H. Like hearing nails on a chalkboard for me 😭

Can't wait for everyone to become trade economists and tariff experts now lol

If you had told me 5 years ago that some of the best TV shows were going to be made by Zoolander and a Survivor contestant, I wouldn't have believed you

All that I'll say about the Severance season finale is that my heart rate increased to 116bpm during the last 15 minutes because OHMYGOD

My lights just flickered and something very loud (transformer?) sounded like it just exploded in Columbia Heights @popville.bsky.social

Brush fire north of the Newark airport appears to be growing. Not sure if fire fighters have responded

“what’s your favorite kind of movie?” “i like movies about women that go on to win exactly one Oscar”

The 51st News need 142 new paid members to keep things going. Totally worth it!

I'm a proud supporter of The 51st! If you're able, support this local news organization composed of former DCist journalists. They're doing an incredible job reporting on issues that impact the District.

After a Real Madrid game like this one, I often find myself thinking... Remember when Ancelotti was coaching *checks notes*... Everton??? What a world we live in.

??? Did he watch the same game the rest of us did?

Listen, I'm a huge Szoboszlai fan, but what the hell is he even doing on the pitch? Losing the ball, misreading passes, slipping and falling. Definitely not his game.

The commentary on USA for this Liverpool-Bournemouth game is bananas
