Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose
Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?
If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.
Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
WMATA is the largest transit system in the US without a dedicated funding source! Frequency and reliability bring new riders and keep them using transit.
This immigrant with no criminal record reported his car stolen to police.
He got a call saying MPD found his car and telling him to get it from Fifth District.
ICE was in Fifth District and detained him.
He spent the holidays in a detention center away from family because of MPD-ICE cooperation.
sheeeeeesh i only saw "rip ted leo! simply the best to do it" and got scared!
Everyone thought universal pre K was impossible, and look at DC now. We made it happen. It’s time for DC to lead again so we can all afford to live in the city we love.
Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
Maybe we shouldn’t have let private interests into a public good like schooling
@janeese4dc.bsky.social for DC Mayor!
Some open questions:
🔹 How many teleoperators does Waymo have in the Philippines? In other nations?
🔹 How does Waymo ensure it has enough teleoperators to handle an emergency? (Big fail during the SF blackout last month)
🔹 How are teleoperators vetted?
🔹 What happens if they come to work drunk?
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s
the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained
DC IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR
This is big mayoral energy!!!
This is blatantly false from the MPD Chief.
Here is a joint ICE-MPD arrest from just 10 days ago in DC. There are no other federal agencies there — just MPD helping ICE detain an immigrant delivery driver trying to scrape by.
The *whole point* of this is to do civil immigration enforcement.
An MPD officer and a federal DHS agent handcuff an immigrant delivery driver in front of a Chick-fil-A.
Another joint MPD-ICE arrest today in DC.
This is a food delivery driver working in subfreezing temperatures to deliver food to people. He deserves to be with his family tonight.
Instead, he will sit in an overcrowded detention center facing likely deportation.
A shameful use of DC tax dollars.
Workers are the backbone of DC, and they are powering our movement!
I'm honored to have the support of @atulocal689.bsky.social, @32bjseiu.bsky.social, @ufcw400.org, UNITE HERE Local 23, and UNITE HERE Local 25 — labor unions representing 53,000+ workers.
This election season in DC is gonna be WILD, tbh I can’t wait

Graphic with the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 logo and a photo of Aparna raising her fist and holding a sign that says “ATU On Strike.” Banner text reads: Transit workers endorse Aparna.
.@atulocal689.bsky.social members move our region as bus and train operators, mechanics, station managers, and more.
Their labor makes it possible for people to go to work, get back home after a long day, or travel across the region for fun.
We are beyond proud to endorse Aparna Raj for Ward 1!
Aparna has stood with us on picket lines and at rallies, and knows personally what it means to build power for working people as a Union member herself.
We know that she will have our backs on Council and we are excited to have hers now.
cmon bowser, u can be legendary like adams

And Bowser has left the building
People are being forced out of DC. The cost of living is too high, and Trump is waging an all-out assault on the District.
It should be easier and more affordable to build a life here.
That's why I’m running for DC Council in Ward 1.

All right, to hell with it.
One like, one enraging, amusing, or obscure labor history nugget.
