Today is my mother's & father's birthday. They were born on the same day in different years. They are deceased. My father when I was young & my mother in the last two years. Without them, I don't feel lonely, but I do feel more at alone. Still, I can wish them a happy birthday!

If it's Sunday, I am usually out and about leading my Urban Adventure Bicycle Ride! Today's happenings, a 34.8 mile ride down to Jones Point and around Arlington aka the orginal DC! #bikedc #bikeva #uabicycleride #cycling #bicycleride

Some mayoral hopefuls described their visions for combating homelessness in a March 31 forum hosted by the National Coalition for the Homeless, though frontrunners Janeese Lewis George and Kenyan McDuffie did not attend. https://bit.ly/4vAicU2

Major DC unions today released the following open letter to Kenyan McDuffie today calling on him to retract and apologize for his statement characterizing D.C. workers as “dark money from outside interest groups.”

The numbers are in and they are looking good for this week's Hills of DC Bike Ride! Rode the Anacostia Hills at 16.8 miles at 1,928 ft of climbing. #bikedc #hillsofdc #hillsofanacostia #cycling

DC is a union town!

Proud to say that I am the President Elect of the Washington Teachers Union AFT Local#6 alongside my entire Educators Taking Action slate. I am proud of the campaign we ran and the work we are gearing up to do. ✊

It was great to be part of today’s Free DC Activist Street Fair!❤️ It was a space full of ways to take action, connect with local groups, make art, and build community. I especially loved hosting speed neighboring. Neighbors shared what got them involved, how they show up, and what gives them hope.

I’m listening to seasoned reporters talk about how frightened they were during the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night and imagining how much worse it is for America’s children. If there’s ever been a time to pass sensible gun control laws, it’s now.

What was going on on today's Urban Adventure Bicycle Ride is that we rode my Malcolm X Ave / Marvin Gaye loop route. #bikedc #cycling #bicycleride #washingtondc

I was able to sneak away from work today & head up to Hagerstown, MD for the Four State Comic Con. I picked up a Marvel Premiere featuring 3-D Man & some Marvel #lego supervillians! A great show with much to see & experience. The Cosplay show was creative with lots of custom made costumes! #comiccon

At this months @aflcio.org Metro Washington Labor Council Delegates meeting I picked up my unions @workersunitedmarjb.bsky.social Evening with Labor Awards Dinner tickets! The Dinner is May 2nd at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in DC. Tickets are still available here: www.dclabor.org/evening-with-labor

Busted out my derailleur on today's Urban Adventure Bicycle Ride on the climb up Malcolm X Ave SE. My legs were just too powerful for it! We had to cut the ride short, but I ended up with 12 miles riden for the day, and I did wear my X-Men socks. So. all was not lost! #bikedc #uabicycleride
