First it was single family, then it was new builds, now 2-4 units. The single greatest tool we have for preserving affordable housing and building generation wealth. . All sales going forward will be to be venture capital firms and private equity. This major door to homeownership closed.

MPD & ICE are in lockstep because they are just different flavors of the same oppressive carceral system. That’s why there’s no abolish ICE without abolish the police.

The federal surge didn’t end in DC.

It became entrenched. ICE is still riding with MPD. We have β€œlocal control” back & people are still being detained & deported. National Guard is still here with long guns pacing our streets.

Bottle Bill facts: How will this legislation impact small businesses?
Stores with under 2,000 sq ft devoted to the display of merchandise are exempted from the requirement to take back beverage containers (but those stores are allowed to opt-in if they want). 

Grocers and other retailers that redeem beverage containers will be paid a generous handling fee per container to cover the cost of taking back, handling, and storing bottles and cans.

Small retailers (less than 2,000 square feet) are not required to collect/redeem containers under DC's bottle bill.

But they are allowed to opt-in and might want to - retailers are paid a generous handling fee!

We should build the ten-foot sidewalk so students and others walking and rolling along Michigan Ave NE have enough space to walk safely and comfortably, _and_ we should take a lane out and build a real protected bikeway.

MPD Investigating Columbia Heights Fatal Pedestrian Crash
  
(Washington, D.C.) – The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating a fatal pedestrian crash in Northwest.
 
On Friday, September 19, 2025, at approximately 8:48 a.m., Third District officers responded to the intersection of 13th Street and Harvard Street, Northwest, for the report of a traffic crash involving a pedestrian. Upon arrival, officers located an adult female, unconscious and not breathing, suffering from injuries after being struck by a vehicle. DC Fire and EMS responded to the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital, where after all lifesaving efforts failed, the victim was pronounced dead.
 
The decedent has been identified as 61-year-old Rosa Cabezas of Southeast, D.C.
 
The preliminary investigation revealed that the pedestrian was crossing 13th Street when she was struck by a Toyota Rav4 making a right turn from Harvard Street onto 13th Street. The driver of the striking vehicle remained on the scene.
 
Detectives from MPD’s Major Crash Investigations Unit are handling this investigation.
 
Anyone who has knowledge of this incident should call the police at (202) 727-9099 or text your tip to the Department’s TEXT TIP LINE at 50411.

What it’s like raising trans kids in Trump’s backyard Families in and around Washington, D.C., are navigating the White House’s crackdown on gender-affirming care and a growing assertion of federal power.

I spoke with five families in the D.C. region about what it's like raising trans kids in Trump's backyard.

They shared fears about being personally targeted by the federal government and their joys in raising kids that are learning to express themselves authentically in a difficult world.

#BeDowntown - where ICE will racially profile and snatch people going to work and riding public transit, beautification means evicting our unhoused neighbors, and local businesses are deserted. Great work Mayor Muriel Bowser.
