I've filed my federal taxes, but as a citizen of DC I face #TaxationWithoutRepresentation. DC isn't a state so the 700,000 people who live here have no voting representation in Congress. Will you stand with me and demand #DCStatehood now? #LetDCVote #TaxDay @dcvote.bsky.social

So many newly-planted trees are going to die if they don’t get a lot of water from YOU, their neighbors, THIS WEEK. We gotta care about the future. Water all the trees you can, now.

This is infuriating. A DEAR friend of mine died of pancreatic cancer nearly three years ago. He didn't live to see his daughter graduate college. This is straight up evil.

Who else hates litter? 🙋‍♀️🙋 (CM Allen really does. 😅🦆) Cleaning up a sidewalk is easier than you think & a lot more fun when you’re with neighbors. So, we hope you'll join the 300+ folks already signed up for the Great Ward 6 Spring Clean on April 25! RSVP: charlesallenward6.com/2026springclean

Yeah—you can print for free at all our libraries. 20 pages per day. You’re welcome 📚

Still time to RSVP to come meet @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social & learn all about OAG, including the types of issues that fall under their jurisdiction, what they're currently working on, & some of the wins they've achieved for our city. www.mobilize.us/ward6demsdc/...

Diana Krall at Blues Alley. Trombone Shorty at several small clubs in NOLA when Orleans & Claiborne first came out.

Hi. I'm gonna remind you, once again, that you can go into the accessibility options in settings and turn on the toggle that doesn't let you post without alt text.

This is, of course, hilarious, since locals know we're all on countdown to the annual deluge of Educational Spring Break Family Trips to DC. And the perennial Two Tips for Tourists: For the love of God, STAND right, WALK left. "The Mall" is not a place where you go to buy stuff.

The short version is, of course: You learn from your mistakes. This does a great job of describing how that happens.

The DC Streetcar is done, ten years and one month after it started operating on H Street NE. It could have been wonderful; it could have been extended. Instead, it was a victim of apathy and lack of caring. Long live the streetcar.

Happy birthday Metro! You rock & we ❤️ you!

Is there a spot in your neighborhood that could use some trash pickup? Host a site for the Great Ward 6 Spring Clean on April 25! It’s easy: email Kate at [email protected], & we’ll help recruit volunteers & provide supplies for pickup. All you have to do is show up that Saturday & pitch in!

Earth Day Cleanup Registration is Open! Shout out to a few of our past Earth Day cleanup volunteers who helped us remove trash and beautify our communities. Hear what they had to say about their experience and consider signing up! 🌍🍃Visit bit.ly/awscleanup for more information and to register.

I wish that Pentagon request would silence any sort of "we can't afford ..." (I know it won't.) If we can find $200B to sooth the ego of sundowning narcissist, we can afford to fund ANYTHING. Including air traffic control. EVERY aspect of degraded service we see is a CHOICE.

Hey UPS, I was trying to do you a favor on a signature required package that's due to arrive on a day we won't be home. But you want to charge me $10 to change the date so you don't have to stop here twice? Guess you can just come back the following day for free.

Where you live it's likely not possible to just post soldiers up on the streets forever but residents of the District of Columbia don't have the same rights as people in other cities abcnews.com/Politics/pen...

The deadline for nominating petitions for the DC primary and the special election was yesterday, so we now have a better idea of who will be on our ballots, though of course some people might still be removed by petition challenges. #DCElections

Professor Streetcar bestowed plenty of lessons — about the fecklessness of the only administration to oversee it, about why America struggles to build good transit, and more.

I have been to Valley Forge and the Franklin Institute approximately infinity times.

Remember the difference between a "watch" and a "warning" this afternoon / evening DC

Transit Employee Appreciation Day is almost here! Can we give our transit workers a round of applause? 👏 We thank you for making America’s Metro system better each day and keeping our region moving. 🚌 🚇

Girl, smart & ambitious, raised fundamentalist christian. You do the math.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! This very special photo features all the women who served on the DC Council since Home Rule began 50 years earlier. We also honor those lost: S. Ambrose, W. Hardy, H. Mason, W. Rolark, P. Shackleton, & N. Winter.

"we should be alarmed about the destructive threat of nuclear bombs in the hands of unconstrained strongmen backed by religious fanatics — whether that’s in Tehran, Jerusalem, or Washington." Get it, @willbunch.bsky.social share.inquirer.com/BMZb9A (gift link)

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! Cory Henry & the Funk Apostles are coming to DC Jazz Fest! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Hillary brought nuclear warheads to a gun fight.

Dude, WOPR had this figured out in 1983 and, comparatively speaking, it had the "compute" of, maybe, your average scientific calculator. MAKE AI PLAY TIC-TAC-TOE UNTIL IT LEARNS, fer chrissakes.

Not an exaggeration, without him in goal, this game wouldn’t have even been close.

Jesus Christ Jack Hughes is a bad ass. I’ve taken a hit to the mouth that *almost* cost me teeth (twice, actually) & I can’t believe not only did he keep playing, but he scored the game winning goal. RESPECT.

Happy Mardi Gras, y'all! youtu.be/0wAMr3V5lN4?...

Thank you to @chmnmendelson.bsky.social for being clear that the law enacting DC's Child Tax Credit that the Senate is CURRENTLY voting to "disapprove" of is ALREADY law! The Senate is too late. @51st.news @washingtoninformer.com @postguild.bsky.social

Our alley's been cleared for about a week, so I assumed curbside compost pickup would be back there today. But maybe not? The bin hasn't been emptied, and that normally happens in the morning. Anyone know if they're just running late today? Or is the DPW contractor still picking up out front?

In fact, there's a whole book about this phenomenon by Megan Greenwell called Bad Company. My spouse's company took PE money a few years ago & OF COURSE enshittification was the result. I cannot tell you how happy everyone was when the founder bought back controlling interest this past fall.

EXACTLY. You can refuse to be party to the surveillance state, you know.

We’re onto you, Ring

Read the whole thing (and THANK YOU for the detailed analysis - I only caught about 1/3 of this watching it live)

This is TODAY. It's cold out there, but if this is you, get out and VOTE!

WASHINGTON DC A cold alert has been activated for today through tomorrow morning. With consent, call the shelter hotline to have folks transported to an open shelter bed or warming center — 202-399-7093 or 311. Give folks cash, hand warmers, blankets, sleeping bags, hats/scarves/gloves.

Now THIS is the way to spend a federal holiday!

The date for Petworth PorchFest, the neighborhood-wide music festival, is set for Sat, May 30th. Porch music from 2-7pm, main stage at the Petworth Park from 5-8pm. You can sign up to perform or host a band! 🎸🎶🎷 www.petworthnews.org/blog/petwort...

Thank you, Jeff Stoutland. #FlyEaglesFly
