A photo of accumulating precipitation that one might argue is decidedly snow and not rain. I would certainly argue that.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

Wow, a mayor can just do that? IMAGINE
Sidewalk Palooza! Because sidewalks need love, too! Host an Event. What: Host a walk, block party, cleanup, or other neighborhood event.

Oof.

A C student coke fiend with no medical expertise runs our nationβs healthcare system.
Wild to me that we all - and Big Bear - have now circled the sun enough times to be able to "remember that time when..." this dumb deja vu.
ICE and assorted fed agents *continue* to traumatize and kidnap our neighbors. National Guard troops *still* occupy DC at the cost of $1M+/day. Repubs voted to control our tax law, further disenfranchising and harming DC residents. Where is the outrage and solidarity across the country?! #FreeDC

Had an old-fashioned Adams Morgan afternoon with @bogrosemary.bsky.social today. Lunch at Keren, an art exhibit at DCAC (www.dcartscenter.org/thingumabob), and book browsing and purchases at Lost City Books. The Devilβs Playground delivers, as always.

π Itβs officially time for #TranspoBINGO 2026! Let's play our way through the city! π
Weβre playing from Feb 5β12, rewarding non-car travelβbuses, Metro, biking, walking, and rolling. Take different kinds of trips, explore our city (and region!), and support public and active transportation.
DC is actually being treated thoroughly as occupied territory. Tearing down monuments/media institutions, hostile takeover of its core economic engine and industry, suppression of its local municipal government and security forces
Truly awfulβIβm so sorry.
Such a tough decisionβ¦the first one! SQUEEEEEEEEE!!! π¦πΉ

Instead of capitulating forβ¦what?, DC government could simply just continue calling it the Kennedy Center.
The amount of money the US government spent on troops in DC in 2025 ($223m) would have been enough to give the city's ~5,100 homeless residents each $43,000. Instead, federal troops destroyed their meager encampments.

Finally, a headline that captures the pathological ethos of this administration in a nutshell.
A perennial favorite is nearly getting hit by driver who simultaneously speeds towards me and gives me the combined WTF look and arm motion at a crosswalk *I planned and installed*.
I'm super lucky that my office is within a literal stone's throw to the Greenbelt branch library, and that's where I get about 99.7% of the books I check out for myself and the family. I still need to get cards in other neighborhing jurisdictions.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

People cannot be angry about Russia and ok with what we are doing in Venezuela. The US government, our government, without following our own rules, is bombing the capital of another country.
