The cowardly absence of local political leadership - but particularly the leadership of @dcpublicschools.bsky.social throughout this occupation is remarkable. Their commitment to children and protecting children is only skin-deep.

To post this just after voting to cut the DC Paid Family Leave program really shows that you can't have shame in pursuit of virality.
Christina Henderson@chenderson.bsky.social · 2mo agoI wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.
It's weird that the people label our Mayor as "business-friendly" when stuff like this makes it clear that it's only for certain sectors or donors, and certainly not small businesses as a whole.

A minute is a looonnngg time in EMS response.
Transportation Alternatives@transalt.org · 2mo agoWhen you're in the back of an ambulance, every second makes a difference — and a single minute could mean the difference between life and death. New research shows that congestion pricing sped up EMS travel times by more than a minute.
Think we'll see any oversight from the WMATA board or DC council?
Whitney Curry Wimbish@whitneycwimbish.bsky.social · 2mo agoGood morning, new from me in @prospect.org: the defense contractor that runs transit systems across the country signed a contract with Palantir a few months back. I wrote about it, and about how nobody wants to spell out what information the systems are collecting on riders or how the data is used.

This reporting is so inadequate, it approaches propaganda. NG is present in neighborhoods all across the city and there are increasing reports of their role in arrests. This article plays into the false narrative that Dem governors are learning is untrue about the NG mission in DC.

My favorite thing about @notus.com is that you can very carefully tell them you don't want their newsletters and they will send them to you anyways.

okay, I know Our (lame duck) Mayor and her coterie don't really post here, so maybe it was covered elsewhere, but did she fight back about the closure of Dupont Circle for Pride this year? Because I didn't even see a weak-worded press release expressing disappointment. #DCProud #ObviouslyDC

Our @pen-guild.bsky.social union took on our bosses after they launched an AI tool (in violation of our contract) that churned out inaccurate reports. It was a years-long fight, but today we won. A neutral arbitrator ruled in our favor. The tool is shutting down. www.pen-guild.org/news/victory...

DC friends, they've started up checkpoints again. There's a checkpoint at Rhode Island Ave NE and South Dakota Ave NE. And fuck ICE.
Wild to watch this coverage quote not a single actual parent, teacher, student or staff member. The people who know the experience of schools best to are lobbying groups, evidently.
