How much are you spending at the pump? 🚗⛽️ We crunched the numbers to determine the monthly cost comparison between taking Metro or driving from West Falls Church to Washington, D.C. Here are the monthly expense totals we found: 🚗 $1,100 for car, 🚇🚌 $236 for Metro. More below. ⬇️

I'm a car-owning Chicagoan, and I want 90% of our streets to be pedestrian-priority spaces, and many of them should be entirely car-free w/ specific delivery access windows. The other 10% is the boulevard network, which will be the only space that somewhat prioritizes cars; speed limit 20mph.

Anyone want to help me buy an office building? 👀 let’s keep Arlington Real Estate owned by Arlingtonians

Few to NONE of the people who move into these buildings will be able to stay in the community for long. JBGSmith will continue to extract thousands of dollars meanwhile residents have no security, investment, or input in thier home. Residents deserve a home they own not rented accommodations.

Aye! The ACE in National Landing (the one I’m working at!) is hiring! Part time and Full time. Let me know if you’d be interested and I can give put you in contact!

Another business lost because of rent. Y’all wonder why these businesses keep closing and it’s because they have no stability. When rent goes up 3-12% every year it’s impossible to maintain a steady budget. Owned Development Now!

Hey @wmata.com it’s pretty frustrating that I’m unable to tap in with a low balance on my smarttrip card. I’ve almost missed multiple trains because I’m having to reload my card before I can enter the platform. I’d understand if I can’t tap out without enough balance since that’s when I’m charged

@arlingtonva.us @arlcountyboard.bsky.social @councilofdc.bsky.social @alexandriavagov.bsky.social @montgomerycountymd.bsky.social @fairfaxcounty.gov We need ambitious leaders ready to transform our communities into a place for people not cars. Pedestrianize the Beltway Today!

“Vision Zero” & Billions of dollars of Public Funds in infrastructure “upgrades” around the county and county officials are blind to the reality. Cars block access and take up valuable space, they should be banned not accommodated.

If you use Weed Killer, Ant Killer, and Rat Poison; you’re just a bad person. I said what I said. I should not be finding dead birds on my balcony because someone is using insecticides and poisons to do lawn and home care.

Driver Can I get the 9,000 pound, 1000HP electric Hummer? You can drive it home today Do I need a special license? Nope Do I need any extra training? None whatsoever So I can just drive off in this monster truck? 👍 Community: Can we get a stop sign? City: we’ll do some studies & report back in 2yrs

Remove the Regime, Abolish the Monarchy. #NoKingsNoMatterTheKing

This is a genius idea! I love this idea a lot. Most postal services under democratic control usually have a high privacy policy already when it comes to mail and delivery. It’s not unreasonable or even that unprecedented.

TBH this is what happens when you put influence over qualifications- you get a power tripping secretary of war crimes is firing key personnel while committing war crimes and key personnel ignoring the chain of command. What a clusterfuck of a clown show we have governing us.

It’s official, 1% of Congress has died due to old age this term 🫠 it’s time to uncap the House so we are not waiting for seats to vacate through death. ground.news/article/rep-...

Let’s not forget that AMAZON HAS BUILT NOT THE LANDMARK DEVELOPMENT THEY USED TO SELL THE HQ2! The “Spire” is still a closed off hole in the ground and local worker chatter suggests it’s never getting built. Arlington will have a massive and expensive plot of land undeveloped for decades is my bet.

Bike share is public transportation! Car Share are not! The assumption that everyone has a drivers license is a logical fallacy, we need to stop allowing our departments of transportation to force motor-normality onto our streets.

8 more children are dead and there are people in this world who would rather have the right to access a weapon of mass destruction than protect children (and themselves) from guns ever entering the equation.

THIS! To anyone questioning why I’m not more excited about space… We are creating an environment here on earth so inhospitable that members of our community had to quit their job in space in order to protect themselves. Fuck space while transpeople and migrants are still being ostracized & killed

This is so gross. Tax cuts are not a cost of living solution… the Democrats are once again failing to meet the moment by peddling the wealthy’s policies as working class solutions. Tax cuts only serve one purpose and it’s to cut social-civil programs.

This country can drop bombs faster than @navyfederal.bsky.social releases the money being deposited into my account. It’s BS that yall will check my identity while I am at the counter and look at me with a straight face saying I’m gonna have to wait till tomorrow to get the check/money I deposited

"Not everyone can-" OK but a lot of - most - people who can don't. "- wear a mask." "- drive less or not at all." We absolutely need to recognise that not everyone can but it's deeply cynical to use that to reject any change, especially while ignoring the ways failing to do it affects people now.

I live the issues in this race. As the only renter, I’ve moved 8 times just to keep up. When I talk affordability, I don't guess. I’m living it. This campaign is about changing the status quo. Not just opposing Trump–building something better. We don’t owe this seat to anyone.

Once everyone realizes that common law was never designed to enforce justice, it was designed to control the poor- the sooner we realize why the law allows criminals to rule while jailing the innocent.

It’s telling that ICE is also not being paid but they’re glad to be the ones terrorizing airports. TSA said “we only terrorize when we get paid” but ICE is gleefully patrolling around…

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

It’s Tuesday night and the residents of @arlingtonva.us are out in force to share their concerns about the county budget, from the woodshop program, to the cherrydale library, to the gymnastics program, to the surveillance programs, there are a lot of topics of concern in this budget proposal.

Restaurant Associations are fear mongering slave-state peddlers. A restaurant is not going to leave DC for NOVA or Maryland because they can’t underpay thier employees any longer. FFS pay your employees a fair and livable wage or go out of business. Stop normalizing slave wages.

Abolish all insurance. When people and housing become uninsurable; it creates greater wealth disparity.

​An obvious truth that NHTSA and state DOTs don't talk about: Less driving --> Fewer crashes​

And this is why it was insane that 19th Ct S allows vehicles to drive down it. There were 5 vehicles here before I took the picture…

Prolly a good thing to always remember, every TV show is typically high fantasy set in alternate realities or highly staged scenarios to spread propaganda along a positive narrative. COPS is a good show to remember that is highly staged and performative to showcase cops in a positive light.

The Netherlands is over here allowing pretty much anyone living in the country to vote while the US is trying to disqualify anyone with out a Passport from voting to keep “foreign nationals” (read as Women and BIPOC) from voting in our elections. 🫠 Say no to the SAVE ACT and Xenophobic false flags!

I just called both @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov to express my opposition to @senmullin.bsky.social as DHS Secretary! No appointments for the regime! Abolish DHS and return the agencies back to their pre-9/11 agencies.

Let's Pedestrize the Beltway! Positioned to experience great benefits from the creation of a pedestrianized zone; the region would see an increase in safety, economic impact, and livability, and a decrease in pollutants, injuries, and stress. More information: jeramyolmack.com/pedestrianiz...

I appreciate that Murphy is being clear about this. at the same time...like, he's a senator? why is he demanding we do something? isn't he in a better position to do something? 1

We are FUCKED. The third most powerful person in American Regime is calling for our news to be bought by a friendly to the Regime billionaire media conglomerate on the official podium… I’ve watched entire political dramas that couldn’t possibly have though this would have been an acceptable reality!

Adam’s can throw the budget a billion into the red and NYC receives a “Stable” credit outlook but Mamdani uses reserve funds to bridge that gap and provide services to the city and NYC receives a “negative” credit outlook? This system is fucked and we should revolt against this arbitrary bullshit!

I hate this weather 😫😫😫 how’d we go from 80° to snow in 24hours?!? I’m so cold and I do not approve of it 🥶 The climate crisis is real and my new found fear is these storms NEVER ENDING! Just imagine what’s you would do if for the next 5 years, we experienced a never ending and massive storm.

Tourists: Why is the TSA line so long? Me: Cause FUCK ICE!

Given that the owner of Whole Foods is funding and advocating for fascism using the newspaper he owns, I’d think more people would understand why it’s bad to allow Whole Foods and other corporations to dominate our economy.

From this viewpoint, his positions are easy to interpret and track: they're all arguments towards allowing him to access power and against rejecting power as it is now. A large swath of Democrats yearn to access right-wing power rather than liberation for all. A lot of people see through this.

Burn it all down.

@wmata.com I am so frustrated I literally had a train operated close the doors in my face at Pentagon City and force multiple passengers to wait for the next train. This is the third time it’s happened. This shitty service and station closure is infuriating. Do Better

Watching Mahmoud Khalil speak about his experience being illegally detained by the US Government a year ago tomorrow! #AGM26

🚨🚨🚨Breaking News🚨🚨🚨 ¡¡¡Coffee Republic in Potomac Yard-Arlington has closed!!! Unexpectedly and after just a year of operation, Coffee Republic has shut down its location in the Azure! Coffee Republic opened in March 2025 and is now moving to a new location in Bethesda.

Check out the @minutemarshals.bsky.social ! I know the organizers and they provide great protest and rally support wherever you need it! They are also a fantastic way to get involved with the organization and management of direct action sites and other activism opportunities!
