NEWS!

the collective DC neolib freakout as the city is on the verge of electing a progressive YIMBY mayor in @janeese4dc.bsky.social is honestly so funny. we saw these types in NYC pull the exact same nonsense with Zohran last year and they clearly learned nothing

My grandpa was born in Stanhope, New Jersey in 1912. He went back to Poland a few months later. In 1930, he returned to the United States age 17 as a US citizen. Here he is, left, liberating Europe from fascism in 1945. Birthright citizenship forever.

I am quoted in this essay which is cool! I also discussed with the author that without adequate supply growth, a demand-side intervention like this could just cause housing prices to rise further building more housing is the key to making sure demand-side programs like this actually work!

Dune 2 was the most alive I’ve ever felt in a movie theater. Perhaps just, most alive ever.

GGWash endorses JLG for mayor

Justin Theroux, but Josh Harris is probably the most locally famous. Just learned today Zach Cregger is an alum too!

I hope these locals keep pursuing something like this

6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup

Anxious to read about the cultural and societal implications of this deal for the Wizards

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/...

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
