Fuck MPD always but especially for driving slowly down my block with floodlights on at 6:20am. This is what this city is paying overtime for?

Park Police will really call an ambulance for a homeless person they have cuffed, just to send it away and put them in the back of their squad car instead

geofenced google suggestions in foggy bottom are a window into the soul of the American state: confused about sexuality, confused about breakfast, confused about implementing nonsensical executive orders
Screenshot of a Google Search's autocompleted results for the phrase "how would you" including both mundane questions about not eating breakfast and also several related to instructions likely received by federal employees.

one of the wildest rhetorical moves in local politics has got to be the group calling itself "The 1617 Project". Are we talking about something like the 1619 Project, say? A serious historical reckoning with America's past? Nope! It's just a group trying to stop the development at 1617 U St.

more serious Odyssey opinion: leaning into the religious significance of the Trojan horse strategy (and the hospitality as central to civilization theme) was a good choice by Nolan and friends artistically and politically. strongest condemnation of our present era I'd expect from a mass market film

I think a lot abt how during Reconstruction, white Republicans betrayed their Black voting base to try to appeal to white conservatives, who responded by forcing them from office, driving them from their homes, & if that failed, killing them.

personally I was a bit suckered by Platner's charisma and messaging, but almost everything that's come out from his military background onwards has been pretty disqualifying on its own. misogyny is a powerful salve though! and it let a lot of Democrats paper over his shit for too long

it's so wild to be approaching law school when the cutting edge of constitutional rulings is "the president is all powerful and no laws may bind him." I guess I'll keep in mind the Supreme Court decided to overturn the American Revolution, since they prefer some older traditions

incredible that DC showed this is not, in fact, the typical DC voter
Instagram post with Tommy Wells tweet screenshotted, reading “DC Government vehicles delivering tables and chairs for McDuffie campaign”, Instagram comments showing user KBJR writing “no different than my union texting messages to vote for JLG,” user Fresh Adena Daisy replying “it absolutely is. Unions are allowed to endorse candidates. The government is not.” And user KBJR replying “I know unions does that but don’t call my damn phone”

Here they are: first results have JLG up 52-36 over McDuffie. Both camps always expected early/mail vote released in the first batch to favor her: the question is how much subsequent batches continue this trend or see McDuffie catch up.

a reform to benefit the downtrodden urban PMC is to require that any unused transit benefits be returned as taxed income instead of just like, being given to the benefits account manager as a windfall. for me, absolutely no skin in the game here, I certainly did not forfeit nearly $500 to FloresHR

There’s a big asymmetry between the Jackie Reyes and JLG OCF rulings, even if neither should have been released while voting was underway! Jackie Reyes was claiming donors who hadn’t donated in order to get FEP certified, while as far as I can tell JLG got fined for a union’s flimsy firewall policy

Most expressed desire for “centrism” on the part of people is actually just political flabbiness. It’s an expression of the lack of stamina for political fights against entrenched opposition, a lack endemic to a certain type of 20th century liberalism

Matt Yglesias’s DC local election guide is bullshit because he suggests people vote for the Democrats United to Free DC aka the incumbent slate and if your position is that the Democratic Party is working and doesn’t need improvement, then why are you a writer pretending to have ideas?
