Your neighborhood library is also your neighborhood movie theater. 🎬 Our libraries host movie nights throughout the year, from new releases to classics and everything in between. Check out what’s screening at a library near you and make it a movie night.

Chuck Brown Band+Big Chief Donald Harrison of the Congo Square Nation Mardi Gras Indians closed out DC Jazz Fest last night & it was a Par-TAY. Living under military occupation for > a year, worried about ICE snatching my neighbors, has sucked, not gonna lie. But don't let them steal your joy.

Rhetoricallly wondering if all the National Guard troops in DC will be helping clean up the widespread damage from the storm, or if they’ll just continue aid and abet federal agents and the occupation of our city… #FreeDC

Trees down in our neighborhood this morning from last night’s storm. I unequivocally want the National Guard out of DC, but as long as they’re here, will they get orders to help clean up from the storm, or will they continue to patrol with armed federal agents on foot and in unmarked vehicles?

The core issue with the Guard being in DC is that there is no justifiable reason for their presence. Their deployment here is senseless and an affront to District autonomy and democracy. Any critical examination of their deployment that doesn’t begin with this premise is going to be flawed.

Another effort I hope @janeese4dc.bsky.social team is paying attention to. Mayor Brandon Scott & his team have achieved remarkable things in violence prevention in Baltimore. I'll bet he'd be willing to help another nearby mayor out to understand their success. s3.amazonaws.com/baltimorecit...

Really hope @janeese4dc.bsky.social team is paying attention to this. Hm, what other city (about to be) run by a DSA mayor has digital services that could use an overhaul (plus access to lots of highly skilled DOGE-ed fed civil servants who may still be looking for work)? www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

I really should be replacing my gasoline powered car with an EV, but shit like this is part of the reason I'm holding off. I have NO interest in the "advanced" touch-screen systems now mandatory in vehicles. I greatly prefer my "dumb" car, thanks.

For a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? A whole passel of random, different-sized screws that clearly came *with* various items. What items? Beats me.

Feel free to be upset by the costs of this, but if it’s not a familiar experience, please also think about how you would feel if you saw military patrols in your neighborhood when you walked your dog, went to the store, went out for the evening, etc.
