This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Two things on responses like this:
1) This is a list of policies that Democratic politicos — Miller equivalents — don't agree on
2) A policy checklist, desirable as it might be, isn't an actual *vision for American society* akin to "white ethnic dominion." What kind of country do we want?

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Once again, @ddotdc.bsky.social Director Kershbaum has gutted a protected #bikeDC project after years of community input with little to no explanation.

Mayor Bowser has taken a hard turn against multimodal transportation. It's not just 1 or 2 projects, and it's not about their individual merits.

It’s far from the biggest issue with this decision but I can’t imagine how demoralizing it must be for DDOT planners to spend years working on a project to positively transform the city in which they live, only for it to be canceled for nakedly political reasons
It's official. The H St NE bus lanes are dead 💔
Wild ride for me:
2021: Work to get 25+ H St businesses to sign onto a letter asking for the lanes
2023: DDOT announces plan that lifts directly from the letter
2025: Dead
Next: Advocate for a robust bus/bike network around RFK

This is an incredible accomplishment that should serve as the inspiration for our own rezoning efforts in DC
This was a comprehensive reform that also simplified our zoning.
By that I mean no step backs, no dwelling unit per lot area, no FAR, no special permits (under 75k sqft), no parking mins…
While other reforms have limited it to 4-8 units, we’re really trying to build housing!

Today, I joined my colleagues in introducing a DC statehood bill. DC residents serve in our military, contribute to our economy, and pay more in federal taxes per capita than any other state, but without any voting federal representation. Let’s make DC the 51st state.

378k Capital Bikeshare rides in December, a 36% increase over last year!
