The restoration of slip lanes instead of seating by the North entrance to the Dupont Metro suuuucks. Took a really nice, almost European space and it's just more car.

Gotta get you to stay!

This is so unreported so I don't know

Maybe the stupidest local politics thing I've read in a long time and zero sources. Maybe I should be mayor is as credible an idea as this drivel. Should have stayed a shower thought.

Trump is quite literally the biggest union buster in American history. Every single Republican who supports Trump is anti-union, including Vance and Hawley and the other mythological “we love workers” ones. You are all lying rat cowards.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Metro Transit was doing the same think with FBI agents at Ft. Totten last night. The complete collaboration with the regime by @wmatagm.bsky.social is an under covered story

A big reminder that Doug Jemal literally tried to turn one of his buildings into a child immigrant detention center during Trump's last administration and remains tight with @mayorbowser.dc.gov @chmnmendelson.bsky.social and all of the rest of DC leadership. They've been on team Trump for years.
