But he had inspiration to cancel out the disadvantage!

Let me be clear @wmatagm.bsky.social these folks are literally walking around trying to hand out Christian propaganda. We sang only non-religious uplifting songs and never try to stop anyone or give out "literature"

As someone who's been kicked out of a metro station for singing non-religious music, into the literal pouring rain, this is very frustrating unfair application of the rules.

Especially since these are your published rules. They said Metro Police said it was ok.

@wmatagm.bsky.social is love to know why this Christian group is allowed to sing and proselytize here at gallery place at 11:20am on a sat

Here's a fun fact for week 2 of the federal shutdown:

Number of appropriations bills passed by the House this year: 3

Number of anti-DC bills passed by the House this year: 7

Even when the House was in session, Republicans were spending time harassing DC instead of doing their jobs #FreeDC

Absurd to suggest that this is a new thing.

The red states have been taker states for decades. People in blue states already pay for the bad policies and low taxes of red states in all sorts of things like bailouts, federal spending, disaster relief. Just look at Texas.

A timely reminder—at least in the DMV and likely beyond—that you shouldn’t spend one cent more on the Washington Post than your tax dollars already cover through your local library. Here’s @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social’s link to free WaPo access: www.dclibrary.org/research-and....

I hope you’re better soon! Do you or family need anything?

She said she wouldn’t rule on that back at the beginning.

Never thought I’d see the day when Brooke Pinto took a stand for the people of DC over @cmzparker5.bsky.social, but yesterday was that day. ZP denied primaries to independents, and tried to kill I-83 by study. I’m angry that it didn’t even take him one whole term to turn into McDuffie lite.

And, restaurant workers aren't the only tipped workers.

I’m told that families may have to go to Chicago to seek treatment. If that turns out to be true, how can we support you and your family in getting there?

BREAKING: Judge blocks President Trump’s unconstitutional campaign to radically restructure and dismantle the federal government.

This ruling is one of many that prove Elon Musk, DOGE, and even the president himself are not above the rule of law and the will of the American people.

If only they could all pass the torch so gracefully.

As if potty training for p-k 3 matters if I lose my job and/or we have to leave the country.

And my kid can’t understand any of the emotions I’m feeling or be anything other than an almost 3-year-old doing their best to learn a new thing.

Trying to potty train a 2.5 year old in a house that’s under construction while the whole world fucking burns around us is probably the biggest cognitive dissonance I’ve experienced in life so far.

@wmata: when it’s good it’s really good. (And When it’s bad it’s awful)

We call that last one the “organ recital”

I was at a civic association meeting once where someone said maybe renters shouldn’t be allowed to vote because they are inherently impermanent, and they definitely didn’t understand how fucked up that was. I feel similarly about nativism.

Nativism isn’t something that we celebrate in any other context (born Americans vs immigrants), though I understand somewhat wanting to stand firm in the face of gentrification. I just think that it does more harm than good to require people’s bonafides before allowing them space in public discourse

This is what I came here to say. For folks who have chosen DC as their home (rather than having their parents choose it for them), we came in with the full knowledge of its challenges and celebrations and chose to contribute here, but are constantly told that isn’t enough for us to matter.
