Neighbors helping neighbors. 🎄Some holiday cheer while we also work at the systems level for affordable wages and housing.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The weirdest grift I've ever covered. Having kept my lips tight while preparing for this, I'm ready to be blocked by AltNPS now. I have a lot of people to thank for making this video possible, including those in #AltGov #AltFam. Specific credits and thanks in 🧵

Initial vote results for the Ward 8 D.C. Council special election show Trayon White off to an early lead. These are mail ballots received before today. With the vote-splitting going on between the three challengers, it's looking good for White.

Unnecessary and flexing intimidation.
"Overkill," "total BS," and "infuriating": Those are some of the things D.C. locals say about the federal decision to close Dupont Circle over the weekend, just as the WorldPride Parade will be taking place. 51st.news/national-par...

Unnecessary and flexing intimidation.
This resonates on many levels.
I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:
“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

Trump called for taking over D.C. and clearing homeless encampments due to crime, but in an op-ed @eduardorferrer.bsky.social says the city is the safest it's been in decades. Keeping it that way, he adds, requires community-centered solutions, not punitive policies. 51st.news/opinion-trum...
Opinion: Trump is stoking fears about D.C.'s crime but the city is safer than it's been in decades.
In the past, fears about crime have produced regressive and punitive policies. Now is the time for D.C. to invest in preventative solutions.
