A timely reminder—at least in the DMV and likely beyond—that you shouldn’t spend one cent more on the Washington Post than your tax dollars already cover through your local library. Here’s @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social’s link to free WaPo access: www.dclibrary.org/research-and....

With the federal budget deadline two weeks away, guess what the House is focused on this week? That’s right, undermining DC’s self-governance! Tell key MOCs to keep their eyes on the ball and their hands off DC #FreeDC

Ah, yes, the rancid smell of insisting on the perfect over the good is sneaking through the cracks in what should be our best hope for local organizing.

Can anyone explain why the mayor’s executive order lists a slew of federal law enforcement agencies, but specifically excludes mention of ICE, which has increased its kidnapping of community members since the federal occupation began?

The literal opposite of what DC’s mayor has communicated. #FreeDC

Raddatz: “Why fight with the president?” Me and nearly everyone in the District: To protect our neighbors and save our freedom! This clip is proof folks outside of DC believe what they’re told. Shame on Raddatz for toeing the line for the fascist admin and our local leadership who’ve conceded.

Nothing like sending FBI, DEA, HSI, and MPD in mass numbers to a high school football game to sow chaos and fear and make things less safe.

This is unfucking acceptable.

Full on fascism.

Never a better time to remember to shut the fuck up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWEp...

FREE DC.

No shit, Sherlock Post. #FreeDC

Ok, you start! Please show up more fully and more significantly for the 700,000 people in DC now under an unjust, unnecessary, and immoral federal police & military occupation. #DCStatehood

the message from the white house is that you live in a city run by people the president doesn't like, you will be occupied like you are an enemy of the state.

Made a thing. Was walking with a friend, who stopped in her tracks to squash a spotted lanternfly like a cigarette, and it knocked something loose in my brain.

what donald trump wants more than anything is video of american soldiers gunning down american citizens

Today’s a good day to remind everyone DO NOT PHOTOGRAPH OR FILM UNHOUSED CAMPS. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR RESIDENTS & CAN BE USED TO TARGET THEM.

The unmitigated gall and irony of this criminal - who incited an insurrection on the Capitol and encouraged his fascist followers to maim and kill police - to call this bullshit takeover of DC “Liberation Day”. #FreeDC

There are 44 Senators on the #DCStatehood bill presently. Only Dem caucusing Senators Ossoff, Kelly, & King are NOT cosponsoring S. 51. If you live in Georgia, Arizona, or Maine, today's a good day to call them and TELL them to cosponsor the #DCStatehood bill: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Remember, #DCStatehood is our goal & destiny. There will be bumps & setbacks along the way. Never lose focus, we will achieve statehood status. We will gain equal democratic rights for the 700,000 people who call DC home.

For two nights federal law enforcement agents have been out in DC. Now, Trump has announced a press conference Monday to unveil even more plans for DC. We don't know what they are. DC BELONGS TO DC RESIDENTS, NOT TRUMP. Join us Monday @ 10 AM for a press conference + rally: bit.ly/free-dc-our-...

Make sure y'all have your Instagram permissions locked down - a LOT of you are broadcasting your realtime locations on Instagram's new map. This notably includes a lot of y'all content creator folk that rather depend on anonymity.

Now that I’ve calmed a bit, I can also share this PSA: If you are a dog owner, please make absolutely sure that leptospirosis is on your pet’s vaccine schedule. It’s a terrible disease for a dog to endure, and it moves very quickly. Trust me: you want your dog vaccinated against this disease.

Correction: *None* of the Cabinet members and related "senior leadership" have any idea what they're doing, nor do they have a sense of responsibilty to serve the public, much less humanity at large.

Yesterday my 7yo was sobbing that they don't want to die soon and are afraid humans will become extinct from climate change. Meanwhile, EPA leadership is doing all it can to claw back environmental protections while half the US is under a moderate-to-extreme heat risk: www.epa.gov/newsreleases...

I should really make a habit of checking out vetted song lyrics before I get things like “Puts on eggs under cut meat” stuck in my head. Thought it was some kind of Southern revenge recipe 🤷🏻‍♀️

11 times out of 10, I'm going to let you know your new bangs are the best.

I'm hiring a Director of Housing!! Come help us develop creative approaches to increase housing supply. In my completely unbiased opinion, we're doing really exciting & impactful work on one of the most critical policy issues of our time. Join our team! www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

Not surprisingly, I've got feelings about the most recent "Where We Live" piece on #TrinidadDC. Happy to delve into it with anyone at our next block party or park clean up (www.eventbrite.com/e/youre-invi...). In the meantime, @washingtonpost.com, the last photo isn't in Trinidad: wapo.st/3FWDhTJ 🎁🔗

A little late for flag day, @51stdc.bsky.social, but @bogrosemary.bsky.social and I finally got our flag pole installed!

Attempted to help an injured house sparrow I found on the sidewalk this morning. Sadly, it passed away en route to @dccitywildlife.bsky.social. On the positive side, we made a donation in its memory, and I spent a little time saying hello to a gorgeous rock pigeon rehabilitating there.

Please, my friends, take note.

Tomorrow is Flag Day, show your pride for DC with a photo with our iconic flag! Share photos with us at unitedforstatehood at gmail dot com

Pretty sure I also blurted out, “Oh god!” 😳

And don't get into zero sum thinking, either. All our fates are intertwined. Sign, if you're Jewish, share either way:

MOST opened 10 min early everyone!!

emdashes are the greatest of all punctuation. no bot is ever taking that away from me!! emdash.fan

Jokes on the FDA I’m both fat AND depressed give me my fucking Covid shot.

Truly excited to be one of the many amazing local photographers included in the launch of the Exposed DC Photography Collection at the @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social! Huge congrats to @heathermg.bsky.social and the Exposed DC team for their vision and dedication for nearly twenty years now!

Everything’s coming up awesome! Here’s another project we helped fund: the LitBox vending machine for DC books www.washingtonian.com/2025/05/16/a...

As an @awesomefoundation.org trustee here in DC (www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/dc), I'm privileged to see and support just a fraction of the creative, community-focused projects swirling around our fine city. Love this article on our latest grantee, The Calvert Street Loop: wapo.st/4dkc9Kq.

Today marks two months since the Senate unanimously passed my bill with Senator Collins to fix the D.C. budget time bomb set off by House Republicans. If they don't pass this bill, D.C. won't be able to use its OWN money to fund its OWN schools, public safety and more. They must act.

It’s officially been two months since the Senate passed a simple fix to let DC access its own tax dollars. Instead of passing this completely free fix, House Republicans are sitting on their asses and prolonging pain for hundreds of thousands of DC residents.

Buses. Techbros are “(re)inventing” BUSES while most certainly lobbying for the defunding of public transit at the exact same time.

Join me and others for the Ride of Silence on May 21 at 6:30pm at Freedom Plaza to honor and remember cyclists who have been killed or injured. More info here: ggwash.org/calendar/eve...
