If you need a reminder of just how awesome, bright, resilient and JOYFUL DC is then you absolutely NEED to get your buns down to the H Street Festival. Love you, DC. Love you, H Street— the wildest and most untamed street in town. More photos soon

We’re live at #Hstfest for the 20th anniversary of the H Street Festival! Stop by Gallery O on H to see our Visual Legacy Exhibit — six decades of images capturing the heart of our community. #WIN60 #BestoftheDMV

Trump's militarization of DC is not about safety. It's about suppressing Black leadership, stopping Black progress & criminalizing Black & brown youth. If Republicans actually cared about safety, they'd invest in prevention, mental health, & community-based supports that keep people safe. #FreeDC

More locally, Turning Point USA purchased a house in DC (322 East Capitol NE) for $1.8M in 2019, then gifted it in 2020 to the Turning Point Endowment. The house has had a "for sale" sign on & off since about 2023 (after deemed vacant by DC) & is behind on property taxes now. @thehillishome.com

It's the To Do List! Get out there and do something fun, will ya? thehillishome.com/2025/09/the-...

Hey! It's the Hill Buzz! Read it and catch up on a few things... or not? thehillishome.com/2025/09/hill...

This fire at the Pepco substation is big and ominous-looking. Hope everyone is ok.

While proponents of fixing Proposition 12, a CA amendment that introduced more strict requirements for housing certain farm animals, were passing out free breakfast near the Hart building, a truck supporting keeping the proposition as is stopped by & the driver got brekkie. Lol.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) speaks at a press conference on vaccine effacacy on Capitol Hill. #dc #RFKJr @popville.bsky.social @thehillishome.com @hillragdc.bsky.social

This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

Unnecessary

If they are here for our safety, might as well make us safer

As seen on this week’s To Do List! thehillishome.com/2025/09/the-...

This is so infuriating because kids need to get to/from school, and for many the Metro is the only option. They use their Kids Ride Free cards to do so. Don't punish all kids for the actions of a few. And figure out a better way to engage kids.

Update at 3:13 pm: Gonzaga students are out and the West Porch Fridays are in full swing. A couple a Gonzaga kids said they were denied entrance on Wednesday only. One of them charmingly tried to tell me they did it for our safety.

A thread re: Union station and their increased security when it comes to minors. @maustermuhle.bsky.social might be of interest? @vjablow.bsky.social

After the melée at @UnionStationDC_ on Wednesday 9/3, Amtrak police closed down US to minors, put up barriers and did ID checkpoints. Saw via NextDoor that minors were being harassed for walking around unaccompanied. And yet today, everything is seemingly back to normal 1/x

We can always have fun. The weekend To Do List is here to keep you going! Photo by @bigntoasty on Instagram. thehillishome.com/2025/09/the-...

I don’t know who this lady is but she’s my president

It's the Hill Buzz. Woo. thehillishome.com/2025/09/hill...

To be fair, these happen very often. However the timing is too perfect

Trust between community and their elected leaders needs to be strong and communities need to feel like their elected officials listen to them, represent them and have their back.

Mayor Bowser, "shared priorities" with this administration means having masked agents disappear our neighbors in the middle of the night. It means soldiers with assault rifles in our neighborhoods. It means arresting children. These are the priorities of a dictator. DC does not share them.

It's the To Do List! Find joy in everything --especially pork belly from Eastern Market, if you are into it. thehillishome.com/2025/08/the-...

Hey DC! Chalk Riot is leading a sidewalk chalk mural at this Saturday’s bike ride, and registration numbers are HIGH! We need your help! Who are 2-3 volunteers to help us? Let’s make something beautiful together, DC 🫶 email me [email protected] OR DM @hillfamilybiking.org @thehillishome.com

There is a small group of people who protest every single night between the Hall of States and the Teamsters Building. There are only a few of them but they are LOUD

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

US Park Police officers and HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) agents arrested an apparent homeless person in front of Smithsonian/American History just now. #dc #@popville @thehillishome.com

I watched THREE police officers pullover a Black guy in a white Dodge Challenger. Didn’t even appear to give him a ticket, just racially profiling him, which apparently is legal now in TrumpWorld.

Neighbors have sent us videos of disproportionate police presence in our neighborhoods. Both videos show large police presence but not much subsequent action.

Let's find you something fun TO DO! thehillishome.com/2025/08/the-...

GET OUT YOUR POTS, PANS AND DUST OFF THAT VUVUZELA
