Great post outlining the dynamics impacting DC’s electricity price increases. It didn’t have to be like this 👎 janeesefordc.com/2026/06/our-...

The people who voted for this no-bid contract knew better. And they did it anyway.

Can’t find a job? Allison Schrager says to blame WFH, not AI 🎥

"As she puts it, dancing, in any form and among any group of people, is a 'deep tribal experience' that connects us to the universe and others. But this truth is now tainted by everyone’s inability to enjoy the moment while they’re still in it."

"As AI tools become increasingly popular, and the companies behind them race toward massive IPOs, polls show that American voters are looking for more AI regulation." www.wired.com/story/illino...

I often worry that I sound like an AI hype person. I'm not. I'm an AI-literacy hype person. Thank you, Greg Fuller and Ashwin Jaiprakash for the inspiration and wisdom! cc @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social www.aitaxdc.org/remember-whe...

“.. I raised my hands, and he asked, ‘Where’s the money?’ That’s when I realized it was a robbery. It wasn’t ICE.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

And that’s just the first 30 of 86 citations. Total unpaid is $15,071, per the DMV portal. Good morning, everybody!

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Work on a Saturday doesn't seem so bad when you're in good company. @thehillishome.com 💙

I'm a capable person. 20 yrs ago, I learned basic html. Not because I had to, but bec I was annoyed by a clunky CMS. I've worked on & led tech implementations. Yet I was overwhelmed by AI. That changed when I joined a team of strangers. www.aitaxdc.org/you-cannot-f... cc @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social

This is not cool. Yes labor is important. But you can’t misrepresent. McDuffie allies are lying about his endorsements. Not a single labor union has endorsed McDuffie. Union members are united behind Janeese Lewis George for DC Mayor including our affiliate @wtu www.dclabor.org/news/develop...

There's no shortage of AI coverage. What's missing is an honest conversation about what it means for the DC workforce, schools, gov - right now, by the people affected. @erinpalmer & I got tired of looking for a host for this convo. So we started it ourselves. One year. One blog. www.aitaxdc.org 🧵

Erin is THE expert so if you want to know more - go here!

It's a great day to cheer your neighbors on as they run, with the support of the greatest band on earth!!!! #ward6❤️

Today is Tiny Streets!!! 4pm at Maury

I HAVE RECEIVED MY BALLOT & I'M READY TO VOTE AT HOME! If you're curious, some of the folks I'm ranking + excited for include @janeese4dc.bsky.social for DC Mayor, Brian Schwalb for DC Attorney General, and the Free DC Slate for DC Democratic State Committee (all of them but ESPECIALLY in Ward 4).

I’m thrilled to share that last week, the work I'm doing together with an amazing team was recognized last week as part of Technical.y's RealLIST connectors - "ecosystem leaders helping the region flourish." technical.ly/entrepreneur... Some of the amazing team --> theupskillinglabs.org/the-team

Sad (yet humorously written) read about the "sad wives of AI." "Conservatively, that means hundreds of thousands of spouses, partners, and girlfriends, holding down the fort while someone mansplains the singularity to them."

Men are obsessed with AI. Many of their wives absolutely hate it—and them. www.wired.com/story/meet-t...

Vile WaPo editors mocking “racism is a public health crisis” We know Black maternal mortality >3X higher than White (delayed care, lack of access, poverty) Black kids w asthma hospitalized at 2X the rate of White kids (poverty, housing triggers like mold & pests, living near bus depots/pollution)

Today the Board of Elections mailed ballots to all registered voters in DC! 📜 Here's who you can vote for: 🦅 1 National Committeewoman and 1 National Committeeman 🦬 Up to 7 At-Large Committeewomen and up to 7 At-Large Committeemen 🐢 2 Ward Committeewomen and 2 Ward Committeemen from your ward

Appreciating @hillragdc.bsky.social & @hillcenterdc.bsky.social for hosting last night's #Ward6 Council debate (+ WJLA for streaming). www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EVe... @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social has my vote - he continues to fight for child care access, schools, & smart development, . (1)

“.. If you need a 'stock market is not the economy' visual, this is a good candidate: Tech stocks relative to the market: all-time high. “.. Tech jobs relative to all jobs: all-time low.” - Schwab

The SCOTUS said the VRA wasn’t needed anymore because racism isn’t a problem in the US anymore. But then Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina are racing to eliminate black representation in Congress with “all deliberate speed.” Hmmm…..

Friends believe when I tell you I am HEATED about this

"While there is less need with fewer students, the cuts can also mean fewer opportunities for the students who remain. She also had to cut an art teacher, and students no longer have a dedicated art class." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/u...

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.

this was really fun! Thx to @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social and @rankthedistrict.bsky.social for the inspiration! www.flickr.com/photos/10472...

It's disappointing and telling that @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social and @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social are the only DC CMs willing to stand up for transparency. If Council wants to have secret meetings, change their own rules about what a meeting is, don't enable every public body to operate in darkness.

“If you have done the DC school lottery, you already understand ranked choice voting”

I started my day in the best way possible - celebrating safe routes to school with a dozen school communities! We couldn't do it without our friendly neighborhood #Ward6 @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social, who expertly MCs this event EVERY time! Wishing you all a happy #BikeandRolltoSchoolDay!

Stopped by NE @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social to print RCV ballots for #BikeRolltoSchoolDay and the Book Bike has arrived! See you 7:30am at Lincoln Park! 🚲🗳️❤️ @w6pspo.bsky.social @hillfamilybiking.org @hillragdc.bsky.social @thehillishome.com @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social @rankthedistrict.bsky.social

Ever wonder what happens after #SidewalkPalooza? When you submit a 311 request for sidewalk repairs, DDOT sends out folks to assess conditions and that’s when you see white paint on the sidewalk cracks and tripping hazards. That confirms it’s in their system for repairs.

Mandatory detention was originally sold to the courts as short-term detention. In reality, many immigrants are being jailed for months or years while fighting their cases. www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

Scenes from Sunday's Grown-ups Bridges Ride #BikeDC

Hill Family Biking is hosting 20 rides in 2026 and this is my hands down fav #TinyStreets

BREAKING: Activists have shut down multiple intersections throughout downtown Washington DC in opposition to Trump's attacks on workers, DC Home Rule, climate, and international peace. The actions kick off #MayDay events across the country.

Sandra, you should come to the Grown-ups edition tomorrow at 6:30 starting at Maury! We're all kids at heart

Civics on the mind? Same here! Join us for a civics ride on Bike and Roll to School Day! Weds, May 6, 7:30am @ Lincoln Park! w6pspo.org/2026/03/24/b... @thehillishome.com @hillragdc.bsky.social @hillfamilybiking.org @ward6dems.bsky.social @rankthedistrict.bsky.social @lwvdc.bsky.social
