This information is incorrect. Maryland has same day registration and voting. One may register in person on Primary Election Day, June 23.

All school traffic safety advocates on deck!
Help Make Langdon ES Safer!!

Deadline: March 16, 2026 CLICK TO LEAVE COMMENT

➑DDOT is proposing to convert the time-limited one-way on the 1800-1900 block of Evarts St NE into a permanent one-way

- To ensure this actually calms traffic, we must push DDOT to include a contraflow bike lane - a proven tool that meaningfully narrows the drive lane and reduces unsafe driver behavior.

β€’ Langley ES received this same newly permanent one-way + contraflow treatment in 2022, pictured above.

β€’ This school-street model helps manage pick-up/drop-off traffic more safely and should be a standard, low-friction solution across DC.

- Now is the moment for school communities across the city to stand with Langdon ES! The more unified our voice, the easier this becomes everywhere.

DC folks! There's an important school safety NOI out for Langdon Elementary. If you could take a minute to to express your strong support for converting the timed one-way to a permanent one-way (with a contraflow bike lane to narrow the road to boot), please do!

There's this notion that if 10% (or whatever %) of drivers obey traffic laws, then the vast majority of others will be forced to. Valid?

Jesse Jackson and the rise of the progressive movement Today’s Democratic Party is very much the quilt he called for.

Jesse Jackson didn’t win either of his races, but he basically won the argument and the modern Democratic Party is much more the vision he outlined than that of us his opponents

The District of Columbia has experienced 8 traffic fatalities so far in 2026, compared to 25 in all of 2025. DC is on a pace for 60 fatalities this year.Β @mayorbowser.dc.gov @ddotdc.bsky.social, what actions are you taking?

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

Sorry, DC: Virginia Drivers Are Actually the Worst DC crash data shows Virginia-plated drivers speed more, drive impaired more, and cause more serious crashes than Maryland drivers.

DC traffic safety issues are largely caused by suburban drivers who we can't discipline effectively and who congressional Republicans are trying to shield from our traffic cameras.

This is an afront to family biking across #BIkeDC!

Stay tuned for planned action.

And tell your friends outside of DC to call their Senators offices on Tuesday to alert them to this action that will hurt everyone that visits the National Mall
