When bike mortality reporting leads with "e-bike" and "no helmet" it's like the "what was she wearing?" and "why was she out late at night" of cycling. #bikedc

DC folks: has anyone tried Astound Broadband or DC Access. I've had Starry for over 7 years and loved it. However, since it got bought by Verizon it seriously sucks.

We are in a full on dictatorship, rivaling the most entrenched ones in the world. Anti ICE activists, who printed a zine, are labeled “terrorist” and sentenced to 30-100 years in federal prison. By this metric we’re all targets. Genuinely chilling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

One thing that I don't think gets discussed enough is the attack of this surge/occupation/etc on 3rd spaces in DC. It's pervasive and petty in a way that you really can't just ignore or opt out of if you are car-free in downtown DC!

There I fixed it! I'm no artist for #TranspoBINGO square 20, but I was sad when the B30 became the A76. My stop moved from right next to the metro with generous seating to crossing 2 streets and no seating. I see it's closer to the elevator, but it's nice to visualize some seating in that space.
