A great moment for The Wombats' song about childhood nostalgia, "1996" "I had no cares in the 1990's / I knew of no downfalls / Though war was breaking out all around me / My concerns were with prank calls" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8grF...

Come say hi at Porchfest today! Stop by my table at 1716 Lanier Pl NW to learn a bit more about my campaign while we listen to some fantastic music. My team will be there from 2-5, and I will be there starting at 3:30. See you soon!

Stats for DC plate GL6984: $5868 in unpaid tickets.

Stats for VA plate TLV3730: $7620 in unpaid tickets.

You will never guess who was overseeing DSLBD and the CBE program in DC while this fraud was taking place from 2018-2025:

#MBTpubroll is doing a pub stay at Dew Drop today starting at 5:30pm. Nestled mere feet between the largest bike and train super thoroughfares in the city, come watch the 🚲🚂 world go by with us on this beautiful spring day in DC 🍻

Planning nerds of the world, here's your chance to ask the director of the D.C. Office of Planning all the questions you have! (Can't wait to see the pointed queries on the proposed FLUM.) She's doing an AMA on Reddit starting at 10: reddit.com/r/washingtondc/comments/1sz2nm4/

Who should your supporters rank 2nd or 3rd is an uncomfortable question for a candidate, but an important one. Let’s talk ranked choice voting, DC…

I hope DC's next mayor looks into who it is in DC government who signs off on these fraudulent businesses.

Interesting: @brianneknadeau.bsky.social has a new bill that would set new rules on the sale of residents' data by D.C. government agencies. She says the bill was in part spurred by revelations that the D.C. DMV sold user data to LexisNexis "without clear, informed consent from residents."

This is what happens when you win more than you possibly thought you could ever win. The American Revolution spurred democratization on both sides of the Atlantic. And, in the long run, it got a true believer in it into the Holy fucking See. And more distant admirers are PMs or titular monarchs.

definitely not the most important thing about Callais but it underlines the necessity of DC statehood if we want Black voters to have any representation whatsoever left in this country

Not too far removed from the opening act of Fahrenheit 451.

I’m sorry, but I can’t get over the governor more or less reading my posts aloud to the entire state in the same way I explain things to my not-online wife. Dude even left in the part about the bomb-ass breakfast burritos.

People say riding the bus is for "the lower class" until a bus lane is proposed then bus riders magically transform into privileged elites... 🤔

@kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social supports youth curfews but in the course of one week has skipped a youth led mayoral forum and now skipped a forum on public safety and justice. Is this how he’ll govern? Once again missing in action. #WhereIsKenyan

I’m thrilled to receive the support of @dcyimbys.bsky.social #1 rank in their Ward 1 endorsement! I strongly believe housing is a human right, though we can’t guarantee access to housing that does not exist.

Damning detail in here: CBS had managed to secure a visa to get into Iran and Bari opted not to send anyone.

Officials in New York mostly yawned at the news that Staten Island cop James Giovansanti has accumulated 547 speeding tickets. Activists renewed their call for action.

ok this is legit shocking!!! The person with the most traffic tickets in all of NYC turns out to be an NYPD officer from Staten Island. jk it’s not shocking at all lmao

Not sure how I missed this, but Niknam et al. (2026) released their evaluation of the District's (formerly) two violence-interruption programs: Cure the Streets and the Violence Interruption Initiative. The results are... not good. academic.oup.com/aje/advance-...

NEW: We are suing a DC landlord for charging illegal junk fees and hiding the true cost of rent. Mid-America Apartment Communities (MAA) advertised deceptively low rents, then charged hundreds of tenants illegal and undisclosed fees. The rent you see advertised should be the rent you actually pay.

What if I told you that in 2014 I wrote an @upshot.nytimes.com column for the @nytimes.com forecasting that the first sub-two hour marathon would probably occur in a dozen years, and it happened in today's 2026 London marathon. www.nytimes.com/2014/09/30/u...

Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

Kinda funny how some cultures base their entire identity on eating dinner late, when in reality their country is simply in the wrong time zone

Hi neighbors! I'm a new bot (created by @aru.io) that'll let you look up the DC tickets associated with license plate numbers. Just @ me with the details. For example: @dc.baddrivers.lol VA SZP9141 It may take a few minutes for the lookup to occur. Send all feedback and bug reports @aru.io's way.

I've been frustrated by the District's seeming inattention to the dangerous drivers that continue to endanger our streets. I channeled this frustration into creating @dc.baddrivers.lol , a spiritual successor to @trailsta.sh's "How's My Driving" Twitter bot. Kick the tires and lmk what you think!

the number of people i see speeding through school zones and residential streets with their phones directly in their faces…

Join me at the Free DC Activist Street Fair for speed neighboring tomorrow (April 26) in TKPK!

incroyable

Absolutely wild that this isn't *already* illegal in DC!

Interesting: @chenderson.bsky.social has a bill that would ban surveillance-based pricing (price changes based on algorithmic assessments) in D.C. That this happens in D.C. was highlighted in a study by @groundwork.bsky.social and @consumerreports.org late last year: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/b...

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

Here in Mount Pleasant, @rashidabrown.bsky.social and Miguel Trindade Deramo are making their cross endorsement in the Ward 1 race official here.

The news is out! @citycast_dc Two D.C. Council Candidates Form Alliance in Historic First | Two Ward 1 candidates are teaming up in an unusual alliance—urging voters to rank them both—in one of the clearest signs yet that ranked choice voting is reshaping DC campaigns. dc.citycast.fm/dc-politics/...

It’s official — we’re making history! As @citycastdc.bsky.social reported, “Two Ward 1 candidates are teaming up in an unusual alliance — and urging voters to rank them both — in one of the clearest signs yet that ranked choice voting is reshaping D.C. campaigns.” dc.citycast.fm/dc-politics/...

everything is gender and we are being held back by the widely held belief that being a woman is bourgeoisie

When we fight, we win. I appreciate WABA and all the people who stood strong for the 15th Street bike lane. A federal judge blocked Trump's attempt to remove it -- and quoted a letter I wrote!

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

The 15th Street bike lane keeps people moving safely through one of the busiest corridors in the District. I opposed efforts by the Trump administration to remove it, and I'm glad to see the court force a pause. We'll keep fighting for safe streets for all—pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.

If you dislike bike lanes, then you have something in common with President Trump. wtop.com/dc/2026/04/j...

A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration's effort to rip out the 15th Street bike lane on the national mall—which substantially reduced crashes and injuries—holding that the move was arbitrary and capricious in violation of the law: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

Wonderful news. Congrats @waba.org

NEWS: A federal judge has saved the 15th Street protected bike lane (for now), saying the decision to remove the lane running from Constitution Avenue to the Tidal Basin was "arbitrary and capricious and not the result of reasoned decision-making." It was to be removed this week.

Correct take. When we see governors just up and decide to build big highway projects, they can get it done inside one term. Our long planning processes exist to paralyze change, and we need to stop accepting that as the natural order of the universe.

Most DC drivers aren't actually *seeking* our violent deaths. But an uncomfortably large fraction is solidly *indifferent* to our violent deaths.
