Family, #DCStatehood, #BikeDC, RPCV Ghana, #DCnative, #Spirit, #DCRising, #COYS, & working to restore streams!
Lotta gumption for the DCGOP to knock on my door & ask for my vote. Even if I think we need change on the DC Council, I sure as shit ain’t gonna vote for a party that won’t fight for #DCStatehood or stand up against the authoritarian takeover of DC.
1. #DCStatehood 2. A reporter should ask him if he even knows what it would take to “federalize DC” (Hint: it doesn’t involve waving a magic wand) 3. His ability to relentlessly & shamelessly lie is unparalleled in modern politics.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7d agoTrump: "We have a very radically left person elected mayor ... we would have to federalize DC"
They are absolutely wasting American taxpaying dollars at the expense of constitutional norms and the civil rights & liberties of the 700,000 people in D.C. And they're keeping these NG troops away from their homes, families, and jobs to waste their days mulling around on metro platforms. #FREEDC
NOTUS Metro@notusmetro.bsky.social · last mo.The National Guard Bureau will spend $292 million to house thousands of troop members deployed in Washington, D.C., in partnership with the city government and the U.S. General Services Administration.
His math is shit, but DC should be a state & I’d love to make him cry over it. #DCStatehood
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."
He should be impeached, convicted, & removed from office. He’s a liar, a fraud, a reckless warmonger, and he’s enriching himself, his family, & his loyalists at the expense of the American people.
At least 30 National Guard stationed at different locations around the Algae Pool guarding it from rouge forces. Tax dollars well spent all around!
Losing Ward 5 Dem Council candidate says “Thank you to everyone who said ‘Fuck Those Bike Lanes.’” SMDH
The Federal City Council & the Committee of 100 are probably having an emergency meeting this morning to figure out which 'Independent-Democrat' they'll run in the general election.
The Anacostia River after 400 years of protracted environmental degradation vs the Reflecting Pool two weeks after a $13,000,000 blue paint job.
The world's biggest sporting event is presently taking place in the USA-Mexico-Canada, with huge shocks in yesterday's games, and SportsCenter leads off with...a baseball game. 🙃
Reminder: The President cannot take over D.C. That senile deranged sexist racist anti-democratic fool just needs to STFU and go back to naptime. #DCStatehood
Can’t wait to cheer on the @washwizards.bsky.social in the NBA Finals. Seems fun!
Get me a candidate that promises 24hrs per day of demolition & revegetation (paid union w/overtime) starting on January 21, 2029.
Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social · 2mo agoNew: Trump officials are planning for 20 hrs per day of construction and big cranes — as tall as 320 feet high — to build president’s planned arch.
The #USMNT (and other teams) should take a knee for the first minute of each match to protest this. This is state enforced bigotry, full stop. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Omar Artan and World Cup 2026: Who is Somali referee barred from entering US?
Omar Artan was set to become the first Somali to referee a game at the World Cup finals, but his place in history has been denied by US immigration authorities.

Are they looking for volunteers? I have a 45’ extension ladder, a wrecking bar, a mini sledge, and a free evening.

If it's a day where the sun rises and sets, it's a day he's committing impeachable offenses. Don't ever be desensitized to the level of corruption, self-dealing, self-enriching, and national & international law breaking that's going on. He should be held accountable for every single offense.
Young man is from NE DC (Brookland!!!), doing good things, & speaking truth to power!
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 3mo agoCampos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.
Today's another day where impeach, convict, and remove is more than warranted.
Another day and another moment where impeach, convict, and remove seems like too little to ask.
Two neighbors had their “Statehood for the People of DC” yard signs stolen this week. They both had other yard signs that weren’t taken. Stealing is bad, but this could be a good sign! #DCStatehood
As an urban stream restoration professional, I get a massive inferiority complex whenever someone posts or asks me about this project in South Korea. It’s akin to daylighting Tiber Creek through NOMA or down Constitution Ave. Taking the 1.5 mile concrete channel out of Oxon Run will be dope though.
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 4mo agoNever forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.
