I moved to DC 15 years ago and since then, it has been my home. It is full of passion, idealism, love, knowledge, a melting pot of backgrounds, cultures, languages, beautiful parks, museums, flowers, sunsets, people I love, amazing restaurants and bars, and streets I have always felt safe on.

Here come the fake impersonator accounts. A trust and safety challenge will be dealing with making lists of politicians, figuring out what accounts are harmful impersonators versus satire, etc.
