Major announcement in just-posted board documents: DC's Metro is moving fast toward automation. Over 15 years, Metro plans full automation & platform screen doors, which the agency says will improve safety, reliability, & travel times—at reduced costs. www.wmata.com/about/board/...

Another flash giveaway in preparation for our holiday lights ride in December! Turn heads while you head home from work in these early sunset days #BikeDC

Having down time and rest should be more of a badge of honour than being busy.

This so much! Parents (usually mothers) in car-centric areas are forced to chauffeur their kids around. It also means they emphasize predictable, scheduled activities (like sports leagues) that cost money. Youth mobility gives kids freedom, saves money, and reduces the unpaid-labor burden on women

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

We are in the final stretch, giveaway ends at 7pm!

Did someone say brewery + playground in DC??? And it’s extremely bike friendly being off anacostia river trail east bank???

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

I love dumb boxes.

Anything above 500 billion should be taxed $2 on the $1. And I don’t want any of that, it’s not cash BS. TAX THE EVER LOVING POOP OUT OF THESE PEOPLE.

Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

So @raskin.house.gov has a deep background in constitutional law and i take this as saying what may are thinking… jury nullification. A group of peers took morality and conscience over plain law text to apply a social message.

Sandwich man leaving court

Trump’s economy suuuuucks.

The mental gymnastics you must perform to say this with a straight face.

There is a wave of change coming. One where bold leadership that follows working people not the billionaires isn’t the exception, it’s the expectation. Let's discuss.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

“You're not alone in wanting a better world, one in which cars are relegated to their proper use. Cars are tools that can be useful at certain times and places. They’re not gods. They’re not the foundation of our society. They should serve us. We should not serve them. There can be life after cars.”

WHOA. Via @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social, it looks like Democrats just flipped BOTH *statewide* Public Service Commissioner seats in Georgia. That seems...significant.

Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats. If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats: It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!

MSNBC calls Virginia for Spanberger

The Democratic establishment's ugly reaction to Zohran Mamdani reveals an unpleasant truth. They would rather lose elections than change. The addiction to rich donors and consultants is killing the party. But Mamdani shows a path out. An analysis. www.salon.com/2025/11/03/z...

single stair + eliminating parking mandates - two great wins for affordable housing

Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division. That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today. Polls close at 9pm: zohranfornyc.com/vote

one of the most insane thing about partisan politics is that Republicans are allowed to say "these four million American citizens shouldn't get the representation they are entitled because it would be politically inconvenient for us" and nobody bats an eye

One of my low-key favorite parts of the Mamdani campaign is that he walks around the city. People who love cities walk around their cities, but few political candidates do so.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Just needed to make a quick stop to a local hardware store on 8th via MBT, 10+ bikes in each direction, numerous runners, maybe 2 cars… why was this such a fight? As @brooklynspoke.bsky.social said last night, sometimes the arguments are just bull poop. #BikeDC

So One Battle After Another is a timely movie…

If only we weren’t on the hook for multiple parking garages for the commanders.

Some of the organizers of @hillfamilybiking.org will attending, come out and say hey! #BikeDC

😯 We did it again - we made the @github.com Octoverse report as a top open source project on GitHub! 🥳 We can't understate it: it's because of the community that we accomplished this. Thousands of you contributed to this achievement - here's to you! #OpenSource🍻

This is a how someone can speak when they actually knows their giraffes, elephants and tigers…

Inside the roll out from our Halloween Ride 👀 Over 400 DC residents came out to show off their costumes and spread the joy of biking on Capitol Hill

Truer words have never been spoken @brenttoderian.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social

The roll out from yesterday's massive Halloween Ride! 400+ of all ages and abilities opened the streets of Capitol Hill for an afternoon of pure joy 🎃🚲

Such a high after another @hillfamilybiking.org signature ride! Seeing so many friends and neighbors coming out to enjoy the day and take part in a safe family friendly ride!

Today's costume contest is going to be fierce! 3:30pm, Lincoln Park @thehillishome.com @51st.news

This should be seen as what it is: a huge step towards ending free and fair elections.

No, thank you. DC can do better than Kenyan McDuffie. #washingtondc

Get F’ed mosquitoes!

So many community meetings where i shudder whenever someone stands up “I am a native Washingtonian and <insert objection to change here>” Maybe I need to start with “As a father to two native Washingtonians…”

Still work to be done, as we don’t have the packing and mem capabilities in the US so wafers sent back to Taiwan, but still great news. The CHIPS and Science act was great legislation that needs more coverage, a lot more coming online.

Everyone has the constitutional right to protest, gather peacefully, and make their voices heard. Today, we are releasing guidance to make clear what is and what is not permitted under federal and local laws for protests in the nation's capital. Know your rights, DC:

From art openings to roller-skating history lessons, this weekend’s full of ways to celebrate local culture in the crisp air. Check out our weekend event picks, featuring @hillfamilybiking.org, @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social, and more:

The inevitable denouement of car culture: lonely guys talking to an AI woman as they sit in soul-crushing traffic on their way to a desk job behind the wheel of a vehicle they thought would make them cool and could survive the apocalypse.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office
