The DC exurbs remain spectacularly American, for example this Islamic Cemetery, Vietnamese Buddhist temple, landscaper, and McMansion all on what looks like the same colonial land parcel. (Outside Frederick).

“I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.” ~ Eugene Debs
A vertical poster in ink and watercolor. A ramschackle house in the foreground contrasts with a mansion on a large estate in the background. Against a cloudy sky is a quotation in black block letters: "“I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.” A placard leaning against a fence says, "Eugene V. Debs - labor and socialist leader, presidential candidate - June 16, 1918".

Beautiful essay that resonates. “You had to be there for bus coins + paper transfers… for how bad Relisha Rudd’s disappearance messed the city up… how crack, fent, + K2 made everybody lose somebody even if they never died. You may love #DC, but this pride has come from generations of love + loss.”

There’s a lot in the CNN report that brought me back to the rage I felt 24/7 earlier this year. But the quote about Bovino targeting schools to try and piss us off made my blood boil. I saw it. They parked two blocks away from my kids’ elementary school and waited until drop off to scare kids. Evil.

I think this story is helping me understand why the generation Dolores Huerta inspired was so strongly tied to the idea that activism should be intersectional before anything else. It's not a buzzword, it's about keeping abusers out of your movement
