happy 14th anniversary to all who observe
Oh we’ve escalated to many people (including DPW’s interim director). They’re aware but just struggling to execute
Alley that needs servicing is the one surrounded by 2600 blocks of Sherman/Georgia and 700 blocks of Fairmont/Euclid

Neighborhood trash missed for 3 weeks. Tried multiple escalation channels (including DPW and Mayor's office) but none work. I don't like it but feels like social media is the only real avenue to get help. Introducing the newest "Mayor Muriel Bowser Presents" @mayorbowser.dc.gov
Become a NIMBY in DC and get VA and MD to build more housing so that population growth in the region only goes toward more Congressional seats 😂
DDOT continues to publish before/after analyses of safety projects. The numbers for the 9th street NW bike lanes suggest that we should be doing these projects everywhere we can. Crashes plummeted, pedestrian and bike traffic skyrocketed, and vehicle travel times dropped.
Bold statement.
Mayor Muriel Bowser has praised the surge and reserved her criticisms for ICE wearing masks. But tonight at a local school it was MPD who pulled up their gaiter, put on gloves, and approached me masked.
DC needs to join in on this and other efforts to ensure residents can get vaccinations we need.

Judge Reyes observes that nothing in the Home Rule statute give Bondi power to give direct orders to MPD...
MPD should not be collaborating with fascists.
I wouldn’t characterize the Mayor
being publicly ‘sympathetic’ to Pirro’s attempts to bully DC Council into repealing sound laws as “level-headed”. It’s quite the opposite and extremely dangerous.

Trump right now
It’s kinda sad that it happened during the series finale of The Walking Dead too…
First time I remember hearing the song “Landslide” was when I was watching the series finale of The Walking Dead. I thought “this is a pretty song. I should look it up”… mfw
Disappointing to see so many Councilmembers find a way to yes on a deal that is going to screw over DC in the long run. We're giving away so much money to billionaires
Disemboweling TOPA is not going to increase housing supply in the District, and I am extremely resentful that a select few of our elected officials have been bandying that about when they have done very little to *actually* increase supply.

DDOT confirms that Georgia Avenue Bus Priority project is proceeding with offset lanes! There will be one more NOI period once the design gets to 65% complete, and the plan is to start construction late 2026/early 2027.
Let's go!!!!
There's something funny about the Commanders threatening to get Trump involved, and then that blowing up in their faces with Trump wanting to force them to bring back the racist team name.
This seems like a great way to increase popular support for a Commanders stadium in DC, how are billionaires so good at coalition building?
The Commanders have a new message for the D.C. Council: Get the RFK Stadium redevelopment approved or risk the Pandora's box of President Trump getting involved, Axios has learned.
The @wshcommanders.bsky.social can kindly fuck off if they are pushing to get Trump involved. It is embarrassing and says volumes about the ownership.
This initial set of donors will help us pay for basic logistics (renting space for regular meetings, website hosting, email, etc). Long-term, I'd like to see us put on more events (think candidate training) to help grow a more civically engaged Ward 1. DM me if you have any questions or other ideas!
Some exciting news - I'm officially the new Treasurer for @ward1democrats.org ! My immediate goal is to find 25 new monthly donors at as little as $5/month. Donation link below and more details on what it will be used for in the thread!

Appealing local decisions to Trump should make you persona non-grata in local decisions moving forward

You love to see this happen to a guy who is absolutely parked in a bike lane right now
anyone saying that was kinda dumb - PEPFAR is a crowning achievement
Wild that Charles Wilson has decided to unilaterally cancel the in progress election for Ward 1 Dem officers.
Criticizing the AI safety community as anti-tech or anti-risktaking has always seemed off to me. But there *is* plenty to critique. My latest on Rising Tide (xposted with @aifrontiers.bsky.social!) is on the 1998 book that helped me put it into words.
In short: it's about dynamism vs stasis.
It's wild that the party that should be defenders of our democracy likes to make people crawl through glass to make their voices heard.
