Our @pen-guild.bsky.social union took on our bosses after they launched an AI tool (in violation of our contract) that churned out inaccurate reports. It was a years-long fight, but today we won. A neutral arbitrator ruled in our favor. The tool is shutting down. www.pen-guild.org/news/victory...

🚨🚨🚨🚨 VICTORY! Following months of negotiations between @pen-guild.bsky.social leadership, WBNG, and POLITICO management, the company has agreed to shut down both AI products at the heart of last November’s landmark arbitration ruling! wbng.org/2026/05/22/p...

DC friends, they've started up checkpoints again. There's a checkpoint at Rhode Island Ave NE and South Dakota Ave NE. And fuck ICE.

Wild to watch this coverage quote not a single actual parent, teacher, student or staff member. The people who know the experience of schools best to are lobbying groups, evidently.

Erin is THE expert so if you want to know more - go here!

I know that it’s hard to resist the annual sale. But the union has been in a three-year fight for recognition. REI’s response? Hire Morgan Lewis and deny co-op members the ability to vote on board members.

Some reporter should try and finally figure out if Jacque Patterson ever paid the tens of thousands of dollars of fines he owes for campaign finance violations in previous campaigns. OCF was never able to tell.

Cross-endorsing with someone who deliberately bounced government checks to the Boys and Girls Club and has repeatedly broken campaign finance last is the kind of thing that absolutely loses Doni my vote. I have no love for Elissa but Patterson is one of the most corrupt local politicians.

Not even bothering with the typical ed reform money laundering that DFER DC always does by having people donate to an affiliated out-of-state org then send the money to DC so they can stay anonymous

This, like most of the other things in this list, are all because of @chmnmendelson.bsky.social who doesn't care about process at all except when he can use it to delay things he doesn't like. It's governance by incompetence.

Appears to be a standard issue Gloucester plate.

Still there this morning.

Anything more police week than tape over a license plate illegally parked in a bus lane during rush hour?

Hey r/wallstreetbets wrote a comment letter on the SEC's proposal to eliminate mandatory quarterly reporting: www.sec.gov/comments/S7-... I don't know who is authorized to speak for r/wallstreetbets but I am amused

Jahi Chikwendiu just won a Pulitzer for his photos that told this incredible story. The Post laid off all its staff photographers in February 2026 (Chikwendiu left in 2025). www.washingtonpost.com/health/inter...

If you're a DCPS parent of an older kid, you got an email about a settlement over issues like this where your kid's data got sold and resold. There's also a lawsuit pending against iReady (another DCPS contract) for similar issues.

“In areas within a tenth of a mile of a D.C. school, pedestrians are 24 percent more likely to be struck by a motor vehicle than those walking elsewhere in the city” 👀

Being near a school in DC makes walking more dangerous. Gift link: wapo.st/4d8ahG8

You can have my soccer team when you pry it from my cold, dead hands

A “juvenile curfew zone” has been announced for my neighborhood, encompassing schools and the rec center, for tonight through Sunday. It’s spring break for most DC kids.

This is real dirty work by @dcpolicedept.bsky.social and @mayorbowser.dc.gov: a juvenile curfew zone that surrounds just a playground, rec center, ball fields and pool that REMAINS OPEN after the curfew is in effect. The whole point of these facilities is to be a place for kids to go?!

It's a perfect spring night to meet up with friends and grab a drink at our local streeter ---- oh wait. 😞

Mamdani says free 2K will be available year round and for the entire day to alleviate a major burden on working New Yorkers

After the Post decimated its arts section, local advocacy org Theatre Washington released a statement focused on “the financial implications that a shrinking arts press will have on the theaters,” writes critic D.R. Lewis. Now he asks: What are D.C. theaters doing to foster the critical ecosystem?

🚨 STATION ALERT 🚨 We’ve replaced the Takoma Metro station. Originally installed in February 2014, this station has now hosted over 132,000 trips!

At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity. They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve. As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them. #StandUpForStandards

This is great but also makes very clear that some candidates will just lie.

I’m raising money for Spring Clean Up Week 2026! Donations go directly toward food + drinks for cleanup participants at local businesses after each cleanup - primarily teens. I can’t overstate the value in reinforcing community and creating third spaces for teens. gofund.me/5278a1906

Our weird #transit10k starts now with the train to the first start line in Anacostia. 5k there at 9, 5k at freedom plaza at 10. Updates here. #transpobingo experiment

She also went to the picket line and spoke in support of Post workers during their strike for a fair contract.

Totally predictable that there is zero from the Mayor on this. If it's just "side with Trump and DOGE to force people back in office for restaurants" we are good, but not actually ever standing up for the people who actually make the industry run.

Picked up the packets for the crazy little 5K challenge my oldest and I are doing next weekend. I think it'll be possible to do two free 5Ks in a row next Saturday morning without a car. Anacostia parkrun at 9 am then Metro to Freedom Plaza for the 10 am Herstory 5K. You should come.

The most hackish part of the @dclinenews.bsky.social article that allows Anita Bonds to rag on unrebutted about the fair elections program is its failure to note that her endorsed candidate in the race, and her staffer, is taking fair elections money.

Lol we regret to inform you we did not screw you hard enough.

Mayor Petain.

Now THAT's a headline. "The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents" fortune.com/2026/02/21/l...

NEW: After years of bargaining, unionized editorial staff at Fortune have won their first contract for both digital and print employees with @nyguild.bsky.social! The deal lifts wages 11% for the life of the deal, provides job security protections and more. newsguild.org/staff-at-for...

Every local outfit does this weird Marine framing instead of retail nepo baby vanity project financed by daddy which is just as accurate and tells you more about the current state of the business.

Worth noting this is @mayorbowser.dc.gov and her team running up big bills covering for Trump. On policing they have been in lockstep.
