I interviewed someone for a project recently who said: “you won’t fight with people you don’t know.” So get out, meet people, show up to things & build a community - it takes more than just one group to build a movement - and that takes time.
Curious about Donald Trump’s objective in Iran? Throw this sheet pan spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks!
Every time I see something else out of this administration, I respond with "Grow up." This is the kind of crap my brother & his friends generated at 12 to 15 y/o.
These people are truly ridiculous, and I resent the fact that anyone ever took them seriously and elevated them as a result.
Issa recession.
I just guffawed.
When I hear locally that tenant protections are why we aren't building, I can't help to point to things like this. www.brookings.edu/articles/aft...
Excited to see this piece with @mzgough.bsky.social in print today! Looking at 2 redevelopment cases in Richmond, we argue that cultural landscapes should be operationalized through the agenda - the who, what and why - for planning practice. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Nice thread about the gap between the people who buy street furniture and those who use it. (Also, for the love of God - lock your frame!)
HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of DC high schools students have walked out to demand ICE OUT of our communities. They’re gathering at the Lincoln Memorial in an incredible show of power and unity. #ICEout #endtheoccupation #stopcooperation
it's not exactly living long enough to dance on the grave of my enemies but it is a downpayment, i suppose.
Breaking: The Olympic gold-winning U.S. women's hockey team DECLINES Trump's invitation to his State of the Union address after he was caught on video mocking them.
Birds take time to discover an available box, so it’s best to place them before spring starts. Take advantage of the tail end of winter to post a nest box (or a few). We’ve got free plans to help you get started:
This one hits hard.
kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck
we need a rom-com that unites the people in revolutionary struggle
I will give $1000 to anyone in that room who will yell out "what the fuck are you rambling about, old man?"
In case you want to know how bureaucrats are coping with having a crappy boss...
the commitment to the status quo and moderate politics will be absolutely how we go down...
As a rental housing administrator, Terrance Laney is tasked with enforcing tenant rights. He also runs a private law firm that advertises compliance services for landlords.
After we contacted DHCD about the potential conflict of interest, Laney was put on leave. Full story:

Pete Hegseth walking up some stairs to board a plane. He's wearing a mid-blue suit, tan dress shoes, and navy socks with small USA flags on them. The suit is slightly too small, the pants slim, and the inseam is a bit too short.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)
RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless
Neglecting housing conditions.
Cheating lenders and banks.
Defrauding the District.
Exploiting housing programs.
Wiping out affordable housing.
Leaving neighborhoods blighted.
The Razjooyans' illegal scheme enriches them and leaves everyone else in DC worse off.
We will hold them accountable.
I obviously care about this protected bike lane, but also just in general:
we need statehood for DC.
Yeah. The senate hearing on good cause yesterday was... unsurprising, but I just kept saying, "well, the research does not support the idea that tenant rights are why building is slowing across the country...but maybe it's a recession? deportation of labor? tariffs? land costs?...cuts at NIH, NOAA?
Graphic showing support for tenant rights among Marylanders, including fire safety measures (87%), Rent increase caps (78%), Good cause protections (75%) and ending pet breed/weight restrictions (54%)
I saw a lot of the top line findings of the new MD @ggwash.org poll, but I missed this one until yesterday. 75% of Marylanders support good cause eviction protections (which requires a landlord to have a reason to not renew a tenant lease). ggwash.org/view/102300/...
