Really superb piece on kids keeping DC’s go-go music alive, by @marissajae.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
washingtonpost.com
These teens are trying to save go-go. Can the music save them, too?
A new generation of D.C. teens is discovering the power of go-go music, thanks to a revival effort in local schools.

So, @marissajae.bsky.social and I knew D.C. was changing up its canopy, but we wanted to explore what which regions of the country would be most represented in the city’s planting strategy. The data pointed to the midwest and gulf coast. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/int...

Imagine screenshotting an opinion section article that’s not part of the editorial newsroom, misleading people and in the same post claim to believe in democracy. Look, a three reporter byline story with a national slideshow leading the homepage.

OVERNIGHT Federal law enforcement agents dismantled the White House Peace Vigil, the nation’s oldest and longest lasting protest, two weeks after President Trump ordered it taken down. Some sign-wielding volunteers remained @marissajae.bsky.social reports www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

The White House Peace Vigil, after standing for decades, is dismantled
Parts of the vigil were removed earlier this month after Trump ordered, “Take it down.” On Thursday night, only the vigil volunteers and some signs remained.

If you snag a copy of today's @washingtonpost.com check out me and @marissajae.bsky.social diving into the results of Trump's push to get the homeless out of DC, on the paper's A1. Spoiler: they're still in DC and homeless.

Not far from Trump’s White House, immigrants grapple with unknowns: wapo.st/4ge5y44 Grateful for colleagues like @marissajae.bsky.social @teoarmus.bsky.social Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff for deftly capturing how deportation operations can fray the social fabric of a community in my hometown and region.

Not far from Trump’s White House, immigrants grapple with unknowns
What fear has looked like in the Washington region: A restaurant worker stayed home. A food giveaway ended with a warning. A nanny worries about her own kids.
