The motorist community needs to clean up its act, especially if drivers expect taxpayers to keep building car lanes.

DoorDash seems to not care that ICE agents are shooting their workers while they on the job. Community members are the ones who have gotten Wilber medical attention in detention and legal support — without a single shred of help from this multibillion dollar corporation profiting off his labor.
An NBC News article reads: “Garcés Perez, who Lincoln-Goldfinch said lives in Austin, is a DoorDash driver. In an email, a company spokesperson confirmed Garcés Perez was making a delivery at the time, adding that DoorDash is investigating and would not release more information “at this time.””

While their drivers are being gunned down by Trump’s secret police, DoorDash is raking in blood money. The company pulled in a massive $4.45 billion in revenue (and $200 million in pure profit) just last quarter, vaulting CEO Tony Xu into billionaire status on the backs of unprotected gig workers.
DOORDASH STAYS SILENT EVEN AFTER A SECOND DOORDASHER IS SHOT BY ICE
28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garcés Perez was DoorDashing when he was shot in the back by an ICE agent in Austin, Texas yesterday. This follows the fatal shooting of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine in July 2026.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

I collected this pile of litter today just from the 15-minute walk home after school drop off. I think it’s time for a bottle bill, DC.

They think they're being clever eugenicists by saying that people with "underlying health issues" don't matter, but >75% of U.S. adults have a chronic condition (including 60% of age 18–34). So what they're really saying is "nobody matters, it's okay if everybody dies from inadequate regulation."

Trump 2 has shown that the bulk of federal, state, and local "law enforcement" don't perform any useful functions at all. If they did, it would not be so easy to re-task them to brainless gestapo work like rounding up whole neighborhoods and waiting outside public buildings.

DC is bleeding jobs and revenue. Why on earth are we sending cease-and-desist letters to restaurants with popular streateries?
At the patio’s closing party, she said she had begun discussing layoffs with her managers since receiving DDOT’s cease-and-desist notice.

Cleary argued that streateries generate more tax revenue for the district than parking spots. According to Gill, Purple Patch paid about $190,000 in sales and use taxes in 2019, before building the patio, compared with more than $502,000 in 2025.
