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)

For nearly two weeks straight Trump has escalated his attempt to take over DC. Federal agents are now violently profiling, harassing, and arresting Black and Brown DC community members and their presence is a severe danger to people here. Join us today at 3 PM to demand FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW.

Hey remember when Trump's former chief of staff bravely came out publicly during the election to warn the nation that Trump was a dangerous fascist and the New York Times ran a story about on page A14?

Again, if you actually pay attention to the kind of material that Vance and Miller and their neo-Nazi toadies interact with online it is extremely obvious why they’re invading DC. But our press has consistently decided the implications are too alarming and so they must pretend not to see it

BREAKING: DC government will retain control over its police department, by agreement. Any requests from feds go through mayor. However, a new order from Bondi will be forthcoming, worded properly, and that is expected to seek the services of the MPD in carrying out immigration enforcement.

Ackerman, Spencer. REIGN OF TERROR: How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump (2001)

MINORITY REPORT (2002) is shockingly specific, and wrong, about DC residential architecture? *trying to ID the location of this park* TOM CRUISE: "Woodley's all Victorian. It's gotta be Barnaby Woods." *cut to 20th Century Wardman rowhomes in Hill East*

It's really a shame there aren't more viewsheds of St. Matthews church like this around DC. This view from Jefferson Place is wonderful, so unique!

look at my fascists dawg
