Treated, not treated, it’s all a thick sheet of ice out there friends. I didn’t make it out my front steps before I turned around. The dog is sad but he does not understand how much he depends on me having two working legs.

(And then make the phones ring off the hook next week). Tell your senators to rein in ICE NOW act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

@kirkmcpike.bsky.social Jason looks so cold someone needs to bring him a warm beverage ❤️

I’m just here for @timladerach.bsky.social’s glowing pink UV light background. I’m told it’s for a plumeria, but it’s giving futuristic nail salon.

Issuing a correction! This morning I gave @josephfray.bsky.social a neighbor stranger “hi” instead of an AlxSkeets “Hey!” This was obviously in error and can be blamed on Pokemon as usual. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I am so excited for my kid to see her cake tomorrow 🤣🤣

Anyone got anything they want to tell the class? www.alxnow.com/2026/01/02/w...

On a practical level, there are certainly ways that our new dem governor and strong majority at the state level can be leveraged to make this difficult (or ways that existing zoning challenges and stuff like Dillon Rule already do?). What are they?

Anyone know if we have these specific Condor cameras in Alexandria or Arlington...? www.404media.co/flock-expose...

Who needs an 8 foot metro pylon inflatable? Lmk!

Coming soon... 👀👀 #bikedc

Let the record show that I never miss Washingtonian Today, even if I don’t read it until 2pm “almost as good a place to live as neighboring Del Ray” 🤣🤣❤️🤣

As I have said - every city shows up its own unique and beautiful way and I am here for it. ✅ Music festivals ✅ A detailed whistle alert system ✅ Blow up frogs ✅ Jury nullification ✅ Armed mobs chasing them through the woods swearing at them

One of the most scarring experiences of my professional career was when a male colleague said deeply inappropriate stuff in front of everyone, and then as one of the only exec women I was asked to go explain to everyone why it was wrong. None of the men wanted to voice the harm. Extremely telling.

Hey look! It’s the blue angels! Now back to those Epstein files huh?

Hey so... is CLEAR on all the boycott lists?

New Flock Camera horror just unlocked...

Exactly. We cant primary @kaine.senate.gov right now but we sure as hell can take the frustration out on @markwarner.bsky.social instead. As far as I’m concerned you are interchangeably complicit. Your voting records show neither of you understand what time it is.

My fingers hurt from how angrily I typed this fax. What the fuck was all of this for.

Each city pushes back in its own unique and beautiful way. ✅ Music festivals ✅ A detailed whistle alert system ✅ Blow up frogs ✅ Jury nullification

Is there a reason Senate Democrats are not filibustering or otherwise withholding any support for Senate business until Adelita Grijalva is seated? Feels like it would constructively bring attention to the fact that House Republicans are simply not here in DC.

Sherill, Spanberger, and 50 all had 64% of the latino vote in exits. I would not want to be a Texas republican today looking at those numbers and my maps.

Ok I feel crazy. Wasn’t part of one of these designs reversing the traffic direction on E Alexandria Ave? I don’t see anything about that in the remaining designs or in the survey feedback… did I invent it out of nowhere? Help.

DRCA is walking the Braddock bike lane proposal with city staff this Thursday at 10am - shoot me a note if you want to join. I intend to bring my million pound e-bike and make them ride the right angle from the bike lane onto the PY trail around those bollards

This will probably still be just as good once Oracle owns it… ::sob:: www.seetiktok.com/t/ZP8DjWvfQ/

This episode quantified increased deer collisions in the evening under permanent standard time, but not increased collisions with kids going to school in the dark under permanent daylight time. Child pedestrian deaths quadrupled the last time we tried this - a major reason it only lasted one year

Very impressive fleet of city vehicles (DASH bus very much included). I ran down the street to photograph this one 🤣

Well played @mountvernontrail.org !!

Is this… real? www.dcforarlington.com/issues

Hey Alx Skeets - you might want to call Tim Kaine and tell him your thoughts on whether it’s appropriate to be confirming Trump’s judicial nominees while the government is shut down and our neighbors aren’t getting paid. 202-224-4024

LFG!!!!

Sat down in Pat Miller Square for a second and a neighbor walked by and said “Pokemon or 311 ticket?” Never felt so seen in my life.

Alexandria folks - we could use a few more volunteers along route 1 for 🚫👑. This event is in the morning so you can do it and go into DC (or market square) later. DM me for details.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

Eastern district of VA - who exactly can end up on that Grand Jury?

I would definitely never do this (or rogue paint a crosswalk). I’m just really excited that i can show you guys tiktoks now! www.seetiktok.com/t/ZP8AAcbNa/

Update on the flock cameras story where Texas was supposedly just “worried about her health and safety” when they searched 83,000 cameras (including those in Alexandria and Arlington) looking for a woman who had recently had an abortion. It was all BS. www.seetiktok.com/t/ZP8ABc2mN/

Does this really work? www.seetiktok.com/t/ZP8AM6oYo/

Why does my Google video search look like this? I was just searching for an Abigail Spanberger video to show my kid. The first 6 links are all Glenn Youngkin/Winsome Sears rage bait.

I would encourage folks to give Giant Foods a call today. They are still advertising on WJLA and they need to hear from us that we are pulling our dollars until that stops. 888-469-4426 I said they had been my safe spot with no target or Amazon brands so I need them to straighten up so we can eat.

WJLA is a Sinclair station…

Parents of Del Ray if your kid comes home from walking the dog and says some woman yelled “what the fuck are you doing?!” at them… I was yelling at a cybertruck going the wrong way down Uhler at MVA. Your kid was walking the dog great 😬 I was also catching a deino IYKYK. Lots going on. Sorry kid!!

And the award for "Top roadways in Alexandria for Near Miss reports involving children" goes to...

Absolutely block the daylighting here good sir. It’s illegal for others so as to ensure convenient parking while you pick up your food. Certainly has nothing to do with the visibility of children in the crosswalk leading to that school there. Carry on.

🤔 I wasn’t counting on $3.99/case Waterloo when I set out on this shopping trip.

Anyone know if the Food Star has Kewpie mayo? Because I have struck out at Moms and Giant and Harris Teeter and I am running out of non-objectionable options...

uhhh...anybody know what's with the jets?

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...
