Protest against President Xi of China yesterday in Franklin Park featured a punching dummy with Xi's face on it and protesters dressed as Winnie the Pooh. Demonstrators mock Xi as looking like Winnie the Pooh - these images would be banned in China.

Ward 3 Council member Matt Frumin is formally pitching a NYC-style pied-à-terre tax for D.C. It would apply only to homes assessed at more than $2.558 million where the owner doesn’t live full time. Roughly 600 properties could be hit; $130 million in revenue over four years.

There are 345 ANC districts. While their power is limited they do play an important role in transportation improvements, housing/zoning, and alcohol and cannabis licenses. This thread lists the most impactful competitive ANC races in the November elections. #ANCRacesToWatch

Trump is organizing dinner for heads of state in NYC during UNGA on Sep 23 at Lotte New York Palace Hotel. You knew what’s remarkable? He will jet from NYC to JBA, meet Xi at 4pm and jet back to NYC to host that dinner. Xi remains in DC.

Connecticut Avenue remains a very dangerous road. This is the same location where 2 seated diners were killed by a driver just a couple years ago. WE STILL NEED SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS ON CONNECTICUT AVENUE. INCLUDING A BIKE LANE.

Bottle deposits work. They just do. Ever been to Munich? Do you see many discarded plastic and glass bottles? No? That's because of the Pfand, their deposit system (which has a higher deposit for single-use containers). These PET bottles would be legit money thrown away over there. Incentives!

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Can't think of a better metaphor for the De-Cline in VA-06 and the harms that Trump has wrought on Virginia. For years, this barn on I-81 has been a constant advocate for the GOP, usually looking pretty sharp. Its stalls have probably not been mucked, so it's a perfect spot for the Trump Library.
Two inset photos show the barn from 2012 and 2021; main photo shows a destroyed barn with sagging political signs.

I think it would be healthy for our culture if a putative journalist’s response to a colleague’s relation of some facts and context was interest or curiosity rather than blustering dismissal by way of fake statistics and facile generalizations. This should be deeply embarassing for her.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.
