Trump's attacks on traffic safety medians are also dangerous.

They are sometimes broken because of reckless drivers. We need local leaders who will stand up for DC autonomy and traffic safety.

Say what you will about Bowser, but she's very good at disappearing for days when people want a comment from her.

Good time for the DC Council & Mayor to have an emergency press conference, & announce emergency public meetings in neighborhoods throughout DC to inform the public about what Trump's takeover of mpd means for the District

Alot of residents are probably really confused right now

For all intents and purposes, D.C. has now lost local control of its police department.

I wish DC had nice things (mayoral candidates who are pro multimodal transportation) too

Making efforts to improve because there was a whole ass citywide campaign about how the Council can be run and operate better. And it resonated with a lot of people!

Robert White continuing to be one of the most disappointing Councilmembers. Cherry picking data, conflating and confusing affordable housing mechanisms, and acting to strip important tenant protections when the playing field is already so very stacked against them. Smh.

Truck carrying tank after Army's 250th birthday parade kills pedestrian in DC The accident happened on the evening of June 16 while a truck was moving the tank from the parade staging area to a Maryland railyard.

WTF. A woman in DC was killed by Trump’s military parade— run over in NE by a truck carrying a tank that had no business on a DC street. As far as I know no media have asked Trump if his birthday parade was worth this woman’s life. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst defends proposed Medicaid cuts: 'We all are going to die' Her comment came in response to an attendee who yelled that proposed GOP cuts to Medicaid would cost lives.

Medicaid cuts don't matter because "we are all going to die" does not seem like a winning political message

🚨Hidden within the budget presented to the DC Council this week was a provision that would roll back essential protections for our vibrant immigrant community – neighbors who are a vital thread within the District’s fabric.

“After library officials resisted, the DOJ officials departed without resolving the conflict.”

One of those sentences that tells you who and where we are as a country in 2025: librarians are braver than law firms and CEOs.

Today I sent the Mayor a letter demanding that she respect the law and send the Council the FY26/Supplemental FY25 budget, both of which are 6 weeks overdue. It is disrespectful to the Council and the public.

Read the full letter here or at: chairmanmendelson.com/2025/05/12/m...

LinkedIn post from "Elmo from Sesame Street", featuring Elmo’s face as the profile picture. The post reads: "Hi LinkedIn, Unfortunately Elmo was recently laid off because of the federal budget cuts. Elmo worked at Sesame Street for 45 years. Elmo is sad. Elmo loved his time at Sesame Street. Elmo is going to miss his friends Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie, Bert, Abby, Grover, Count and so many more. They made Elmo’s day so much better. Elmo is looking for his next opportunity. Elmo is good at so many things. Like hugs. Elmo LOVES giving hugs. Elmo can also recognize the letter E, spell his name, feel empathy, sing “Elmo’s Song” and ask how you are doing. Elmo is open to full-time or freelance roles.If you hear of any opportunities, or want a hug, let’s connect. And if you want to help Elmo and his friends, please urge your local congressperson to save Public Media. While Elmo is sad, Elmo is excited for what’s next. And one more thing: Elmo loves you."

Hi Elmo, contact our HR team. Let's talk!

Yes - people are and should be afraid. Sure - get out information. But are you? It's been painful silence and inaction from elected officials.

Lol

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'” That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

This bill has been making the rounds for months: I first heard transparency advocates sounding alarm about drafts of this last fall. Yet the Council is bringing it up on an emergency basis and rushing to pass it without any hearings and minimal discussion. I wonder why...

Literally every Black person who comes to DC visits the NMAAHC and it’s a big source of pride among a very broad swathe of people. Censoring the work there won’t be as frictionless as people imagine.

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR.

This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

The immigration crackdown threatening to break America’s child care system What happens if the people caring for American children get deported?

"The crackdown on immigrants threatens to upend an industry where foreign-born staff make up one-fifth of the child care workforce nationally — and nearly half in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Jose, California."

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.
