The question voters should ask is simple: when key transportation projects faced controversy, where did Kenyan McDuffie stand? Let's see: www.bikewalkbuspac.com/single-post/...

We’re supporting leaders who will fight for connected communities, safe walking and biking infrastructure, reliable Metrobus and Metrorail service, and transportation policies that make commuting safer and easier for all road users across DC.

I stand with DC workers.

“Soccer Streets is a part of NYC DOT's Open Streets for Schools program, which allows schools to close an adjacent street to traffic for recess, outdoor learning and safer pickup and drop-off.” @ddotdc.bsky.social maybe ask how they are able to pull this off but you’ve been resisting for years 🙄

Ron Moten, @kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social super supporter and anti-bike lane pusher replies to us 😂 watch here: facebook.com/watch/?v=455... His video is so ridiculous that it doesn't even warrant a serious response from us. smh

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Church leaders for @kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social says bike lanes will lead to the elimination of churches in DC. Mcduffie has shown in the past he believes the same. We don't need this kind of divisive leadership. Link: www.facebook.com/share/v/1EWS...

Clark Mercer, the head of Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, just said on Politics Hour that he expects the long-running issue of ticket reciprocity to be solved "in a few months," citing the recent meeting of Bowser-Moore-Spanberger. That'd be huge for DC...but will it really happen?

BREAKING: Activists have shut down multiple intersections throughout downtown Washington DC in opposition to Trump's attacks on workers, DC Home Rule, climate, and international peace. The actions kick off #MayDay events across the country.

Sure, if there are just 2 or 3 candidates, go Lincoln-Douglas style. But for these huge scrums with 5+ candidates? Try the one-on-one interview style forums. I think they'd be better for voters *and* candidates. /end

I'd advocate for forums where each candidate gets a 10-15 minute sit-down with a moderator who asks some questions: a few standard, a few tailor-made for the specific candidate. This gives the candidates a chance to speak in something more natural and nuanced than focus-grouped word salad. 4/

No - that just makes for rapid-fire non-answers. Look to the Lincoln-Douglas debates, or even more modern ones between George HW Bush and Walter Mondale (1980 VP debates): the answers were long, thoughtful, detailed, and gave a very clear idea of what the candidates stood for. This matters! 2/

Then we need to make these debates more substantive - and that would mean longer times for answers, etc. With two candidates (or even three) at a time the answers can be more than just soundbites. They can be detailed, clear, and explain the rationale behind positions. A scrum with five or more? 1/

My only birthday wish is for you to join me for canvassing and show our neighbors what people-first leadership looks like. We have seven Saturdays left. Commit to one (or more) and be part of the team. Sign up and let’s get on the doors. 🥳 Janeesefordc.com/get-involved

For many teens, public transportation is the difference between independence and being stuck.

St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, DC’s inpatient psychiatric facility: - has no electronic inventory system - has a handful of security each shift with a hospital full of forensic patients - has psychologist vacancies out the wazoo But the Mayor sent us a proposed budget cutting $14m from the hospital?!

Some things that stood out to me in this Brooke Pinto mailer we just got at our W4 home. First, this jaw dropper: the return address for this campaign mailer is her COUNCIL address! 😳

Zohran Mamdani: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."

Join us for a special community yoga event in support of a vision for a stronger, more connected DC. Hosted by yoga instructors and co-hosted by Natalie Clark, Holly Hancock, and Stephon Bradberry, this evening brings together community and movement secure.actblue.com/donate/event...

Making it easier and more affordable to live in DC means building more housing; strengthening tenant protections; improving transit, bike, and pedestrian infrastructure, and revitalizing public spaces. 🏠🚌⛲ I'm THRILLED to be the #1 choice of @ggwash.org to do all that.

As Councilmember, Brooke Pinto has consistently advanced policies that endanger Black and Brown families. Yesterday she did it again for her own political gain. We encourage DC voters: #DontRankPinto.

my last article for a few months is about parental leave — and why U.S advocates should consider pushing for it as a standalone program (like every other country has) rcobooth.substack.com/p/parental-l...

Flashback to when Jack Evans hired a private investigator to dig into his opponent’s husband’s prior divorce, follow her home, and go through her trash. His opponent was pregnant at the time and decided to drop out to avoid the stress dcist.com/story/11/11/...

White responded with his own statement calling for Pinto to withdraw from the race after crossing a line that “decent people should never cross.”

Live in ward 1? Please try to make time for this today, and vote @aparnafordc.bsky.social!

Elect @janeese4dc.bsky.social!!!!

The 15th Street bike lane is a model of how DC and the federal government can work together, not just for Washingtonians, but for the tourists that support our economy too.

We’ve sent an official inquiry regarding the proposed removal of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes. This is one of DC’s most-used and safest corridors, especially during cherry blossom season. Read our full statement ⬇️ www.bikewalkbuspac.com/single-post/...

Over a decade ago I started a campaign for universal childcare, and decided to run for office in 2017 making that the central issue ❤️...happy to see so many candidates locally and nationallly run on it now Link: dcist.com/story/15/07/...

@kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social said he doesn't want this for DC! Well we want safer streets for everyone in DC - especially children living in DC!

In case you didn’t get enough forum drama from this weekend, I hear Vincent Orange attacked McDuffie for not coming to a mayoral forum hosted by the Ward 5 Dems Sunday (on his home turf). McDuffie showed up for a later portion of the event, but it opened the door for this:

Straw Poll Results, winners: @janeese4dc.bsky.social (Mayor, Democratic Party), @repoyedc.bsky.social c (At-Large, Democratic Party), @aparnafordc.bsky.social (Ward 1 Council, Democratic Party), @elissasilverman.bsky.social (Independent, Special Election)

170 ballots were cast!...thank you to everyone who participated in this process! And thank you to @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social , Chair of the DC Council Transportation committee and running for re election in Ward 6, for stopping by!

Come tell us who we should endorse and the stay tuned for what's next (hint: 🚪 knocking 📱 banking and fun events!) www.eventbrite.com/e/transporta...

Thank You for an Inspiring Transportation Forum! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the DC Transportation Candidate Forum. Your engagement, thoughtful questions, and commitment to safer, more equitable streets made this a powerful community conversation!

Why did “Multimodal” McDuffie skip today’s Bike, Walk & Bus PAC campaign forum? @janeese4dc.bsky.social was there. But the organizers told me “Multimodal” McDuffie ignored multiple invitations to the forum.

"We are making excuses for absentee leadership" - AOC

The fact he has been so quiet yet raising so much money is a huge tell in it self about his constituency, hint it’s not residents, but will largely get overlooked. But he was never attending a transpo forum unless it was for the church parking lot commission on historical parking lots.

Notably, no McDuffie on this list as I'm hearing lots of people wondering when his campaign will get more visible. He missed last week's big Anacostia gathering to attend a fundraiser with Bowser pal Ben Soto, multiple sources tell me, which many see as a big missed opportunity.

@kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social where are you at?? We invited you!!

Candidates who have RSVPed so far! Final list will be out by the end of the week!

Elect bold leaders!

Americans are struggling to afford housing, food, healthcare and so much more and our government’s answer is to use our taxpayer dollars to go to war — a war that makes everyone in DC and the country less safe. Today’s attack is reckless, unconstitutional and Congress must act.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war
