Transportation without representation. The joys and pains of biking in DC and beyond. All skeets are my own and do not represent the views any campaign, office, or organization!

Hopefully @janeese4dc.bsky.social uses this same thinking about many of DC's stalled or cancelled bike lanes, starting with Connecticut Ave. The studies are done! the plans are ready! Just start building

Make sure to rank @elissasilverman.bsky.social as your 1st choice for At-Large Councilmember! This’ll be the first time we have a general At-Large CM election under the new rules of Initiative 83 - those who rank the Democratic nominee 1st won’t have their lower rankings tabulated:

There's something kind of depressing about GoDCGo/DDOT setting up a park(ing) day event -- which is meant to show that we can do better things with our public space than just let cars park there -- in the same exact spot where La Tejana used to have a streatery....before DDOT took it away

a lot of chutzpah for a restaurant that opened THIS YEAR to claim that they need to have a 3% service charge due to increased costs associated with I-82 like....did you not research current minimum wage when you first set your menu prices [checks notes] two months ago?
Close up of a small block of text on a restaurant menu which reads: "Service Charge Notice: A 3% surcharge is included on all guest checks to help offset increased labor costs due to Initiative 82. This charge is not a gratuity paid to staff. We appreciate your understanding!"

Home rule is all or nothing -- either you believe that the people of DC should be allowed to make our own laws, or you don't. If you run to the GOP congress to get them to undo our laws, you do not stand with the people of DC. #DeleteDoorDash

still pretty mad at @mayorbowser.dc.gov and DDOT Director Kershbaum for being so eager to make streateries all but illegal. It was a very bad decision that is making our neighborhoods actively worse places to live and visit.

my proposal for RFK stadium transit: Everyone who wants to drive simply goes to a large offsite parking lot somewhere near, let's say, landover MD. They can tailgate there if they want to. Then a series of shuttle buses takes them to RFK for the game, and back to their cars afterwards!

It's impossible for me to escape the conclusion that if, for some reason, donald trump decided to cancel student debt in the exact way that joe biden did, the Supreme Court would absolutely find a justification to allow him to do it

This is great news, it will make DC elections more fair and democratic, and it codifies the overwhelming support for I-83 from voters two years ago. Thanks to all the Councilmembers who voted in support of opening DC primaries to independent voters!

i feel like at this point, rather than actually fix and clean the reflecting pool to "american flag blue", trump will just demand that congress change the flag itself to be red, white, and algeal green

i suppose it's a minor point, but in a race with 14 candidates where you get to vote for 7 and the top 7 people win, and there are two slates of aligned candidates and the slates have names, this seems like a particularly unhelpful way to present the results
a screenshot of the DC Board of Elections results page looking at the race for at-large Democratic Party committeeman and committeewoman race. Each race has along column of names, each of whom has about 5 to 8 percent of the vote. It is extremely difficult to figure out which seven candidates won or which of the two competing slates they are associated with.

If you locked a bike in front of Rye Bunny (formerly Tail Up Goat) and it vanished, it's because a neighbor of mine saw that it was going to be stolen and moved it inside. Please spread the word and feel free to DM me if that was your bike!
