Kenyan McDuffie, our Vichy mayor's preferred candidate, wants you to believe that HE will be the one who stands up to Dump. I was not born yesterday.

Few things enrage me as much as people parking in the crosswalk near my pediatrician’s office. People say “what about people with disabilities? what about families with kids?” when opposing anything that takes space from cars, and then they make it more dangerous for my sick kid to get to the doc.

Big time MPD checkpoint at 14 and V NW

Pedestrian and e-bike (or acoustic bike!) conflicts often arise because pedestrians, cyclists, rollers, etc. are all sharing the small amounts of space not given to cars. We need to take space from cars to make room for better infrastructure to support micromobility. 2/

Shooting on the National Mall by a uniformed Secret Service agent. It seems like one person was intentionally hit, and another bystander was accidentally grazed. This is right by the Washington Monument and a few blocks from the White House — obviously crowded with tourists.

Congratulations, @metrobusinfo.bsky.social. You've hit the BusETA jackpot

💯. We’re a colony at the Admin’s whim. Destruction of the East Wing, KenCen, Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, constant occupation by military forces, and of course firing hundreds of thousand of federal employees along with basically ending the intl aid industry as a whole…

Metro: Wait 20 min for a bus on 14th St at rush hour Also Metro--how about two buses at the same time?

I am generally skeptical of State Dept travel advisories below Level 4 as Colombia has been Level 3 forever and nothing has ever happened to me there all the times I've visited in Level 3 circumstances. But the US has painted Venezuela as DO NOT TRAVEL forever. What has changed in short time?

Fascinating Post story on the resumption of commercial flights between the US and Venezuela. Noticed yesterday that the State Dept reduced its travel advisory for Venez from Level 4 to 3. I wondered what has actually changed there to justify it? This answers www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Why don't West Michigan political leaders every say this? When children get mowed down by drivers, they don't say anything, or if they do, they blame the victims.

GOP playbook page 2 para 1 - Tank economy through incompetence, graft, and theft. Propose austerity measures that solely affect the "other 99%" and disproportionately Black, brown, and poor white folks. Double down on stochastic terrorism blaming "those other people" and lather, rinse, repeat.

Today in West Michigan, a dump truck with a dangerously l large front end is driving way too fast in the downtown of a small town and miraculously misses kids crossing the street. Of course, the day care center blames the kids, instead www.fox17online.com/news/local-n...

Would be awesome if I could view Amtrak fares in a calendar and price style like Google Flights, where I could easily compare prices over various days or weekends. Get in line, pal. I know.

One of the greatest headlines ever made

@popville.bsky.social the old French's Cleaners at 14 and Spring NW that has been closed for 6 yrs is being converted into a bar.

Great to hear that Natali Fani-González is such a supporter of multi-modal transportation options in Mont Co. Sounds like she'll do a great job. @actfortransit.bsky.social

MAGA Wayne Gretzky sporting a very Dump like scowl on TV in this Buffalo-Boston playoff game. 🤮

Corollary: Most housing fights in the US are actually about cars. I tend to believe most NIMBYs when they say they're worried about parking & traffic. Elected officials who care about housing should respond by doubling-down on walkability measures like neighborhood retail, safe streets, and transit.

Incredible reporting. This guy should be incarcerated

over at the newsletter I wrote about the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and the pitiful complicity of our broken brunchlord access press

Instead of worrying about people sitting in public without paying let's worry about people driving so much. Drivers make our public space uncomfortable and dangerous, and their subsidies cost the government more than benches or seats on #transit.

Congrats Virginians!

Hey @wmata.com, tell the driver of bus 2846 to stop honking at pedestrians in crosswalks. Completely unacceptable

I did this some years ago to tell the other side of that story.

Two D5X buses arriving simultaneously and three buses arriving at the same time. This is so helpful.

people who say this act like if they weren't at the airport they'd be at home curing cancer. what exactly are your big plans for your extra 45 minutes at home you fuckin loser

The World Cup is quietly in chaos, and the first game is less than two months away. Across U.S. host cities, officials are confronting problems ranging from funding gaps and labor strife to security concerns and spiraling costs. Our story (w/ @ryrivard.bsky.social): www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

So ICE is helping with security, the train is $150 and FIFA won’t allow access to the parking lot, and walking to MetLife is illegal/dangerous — and if people decide to walk an hour anyway, it will be like 85 degrees with 70% humidity. Sounds like a World Cup for the books!

DC as a jurisdiction does not give a single shit about victims of vehicular violence. This kid, the guy who was run over by a driver at 14 and C NE. They will never bother to find this guy, the excuses will be endless, because they simply do not give a shit. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

This is ridiculous. Pickleball does not offer a full-body workout. Tennis is a real sport played on a court where a player has to cover 2,106 sq ft of course. Pickleball, on the other hand, is a leisure activity where players largely stand in place and lean a lot in their 150 sq ft square.

I love that the front page of DC.gov has nothing about today’s holiday (Emancipation Day) and nothing about how that may or may not affect whether facilities are open today. But there are two links to bios of Our Mayor, and the top news link is about her and Bloomberg. #DCProud #VoteBloomberg
