For @ggwash.org, I explored what a "Zohran for DC" mayoral campaign would look like on housing. The old political coalitions are breaking. Now is the time for the left-YIMBY candidate. ggwash.org/view/102257/...

Last minute plug here — today is the first fundraising deadline for the Free DC Slate. There are 48 of us running to take over the DC Democratic Party and fight for the people! If you believe in a Free DC, please throw in a few bucks for our campaign expenses: www.freedcslate.com

they will break upon us

Tomorrow is going to be huge, join us at Pershing Park #FreedC freedcproject.org/event-list/w...

I’m willing to accept that day games in RFK II will look a lot better than older domes, even older translucent ones. But what about night games? Because this CFP final looks awful. Oh wait it’s outdoors. Maybe that’s just ESPN cameras + Florida?

NCPC docs have a lot more info on Commanders stadium

For @ggwash.org, I wrote a fun piece about how DC's built environment has changed over the past 50 years, as seen through images from one of the best DC movies of all time -- ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (1976). Check it out! ggwash.org/view/101838/...

What are the 100% must-see urban planning/policy things to do and see in Mexico City?

Lol

Why does @gene4va.bsky.social keep voting for horrible Trump bills that take away DC home? If you are his constituent, perhaps you could call his office and ask?

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Watch this steelman -- Stancil is arguing that the rot eating America alive is not "unaffordability" but social collapse -- dislocation, isolation, indulgence. To make this point, he's pointing out our socially collapsed society easily gets its affordable slop (single-family homes).

i can't wait for this

DC is set to become the first city in the U.S. to implement a local child tax credit. It stands to transform lives + reduce child poverty by 25%. When we lift families out of poverty, we see outcomes across their lives improve: from education, to health, to employment, and more. 👉🏾 wapo.st/3XaOyEK

A reminder that it’s still happening here.

Honestly mad at myself I didn’t predict this kind of AI ragebait

Look, it's just an unnamed foreign national paying the army's salaries. What's the worst that could happen?

What’s the best bike-to-beer-in-fall in DC since Berliner closed? Emphasis on warming up with a beer in a beautiful place.

He will almost certainly demolish the West Wing before this is done, and I wouldn't be surprised if he demolished most of the White House. He doesn't care and no one is stopping him. He's an unrestrained tyrant and wants to build monuments to himself.

The filibuster has to go and anyone who refuses to kill it cannot win here. Hopefully we can get someone better in the race, but when push comes to shove Mills cannot win unless she changes her position

O’Hare terminal one is like a time capsule to 1998

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go! Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest. /1

the splash page being Van Ness is ... just perfect. No notes.

This upcoming protest seems to be garnering actual coverage, so you all should really turn out

First and last time I’ll have to take the school bus from College Park metro to the Terps stadium. Purple line tracks looked pretty much done!

I love realizing I forgot something critical while boarding an 8:14 NE Regional, so I bike home, grab it, bike back from Dupont in 9 minutes and hop on a just-booked 8:40 NextGen Acela for less than double my original fare, then use an about-to-expire upgrade coupon for First Class.

Red line PACKED at 11:30 on a friday

The Seaport is very impressive. What’s going on over here tho?

Rumor is that Gavin Newsom is wavering on housing and might veto SB 79. If you live in California, please reach out to the governor’s office today: cayimby.org/call-sb-79/

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

“Free DC” shirts and a Chairman Mendelson name drop at FedEx Field… what a world

I warned last October that if Donald Trump returned to the White House, the fate of the free press would depend on the willingness of corporate media executives to fight for it. It's not going well. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

this man is braver than the heads of most major universities, large law firms, and media companies what he is doing shouldn’t be remarkable, and yet it is in the face of mass cowardice from most of civil society

Union Market now officially has better retail shopping than any other DC neighborhood

ok thats too much brown

uh

Very cool how Santander bikes are clearly a v1.0 model of the standard DC/NYC Motivate bike, which must be a v2.0 or later.

“Defend the District” protest and Go-Go concert against Trump’s takeover at 14th and U St:

Any business in our communities that welcomes this president tonight will be subject to an immediate boycott.

Counterpoint

Metro was designed by Harry Weese with a warm material palette: terra cotta, granite, bronze and concrete. Metro used brown paint for the original 1000-series trains because brown is good for concealing rust, but it also because brown fits the color temperature of the system.

Bare minimum for holding a conversation (with me): Portis, Brunell, Moss, Cartwright, Samuels, Jacoby, Randle-El, Albright, Archuleta, Betts, Boschetti, Campbell, Duckett, Sellers, Novak, Gano, Rogers, Springs, Taylor, and Wynn.

please vote for 2 or 3

FOLKS... I didn't dare jinx it... My interest in Metro's under-the-radar brand refresh, using BROWN and other warm tones, a new logo lockup, etc. was ALWAYS about the remote possibility that meant they could be rethinking their blue/silver sterile/cold design for the new trains. Wow. (New/Old)
