Future generations will study how media outlets called on Biden to drop out following a terrible debate performance, but not on Trump after being found guilty of 34 felony counts. A complete and utter failure of our media and our country.
Serious question re: Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park - who can we talk to, or advocate, to get these fountains back on and this park the attention and care it deserves? It’s a shame this space just sits here like this year after year to no avail - the city deserves better.
Some professional news - I'm thrilled to join the team at

as Senior Communications Strategist, and what a monumental week to do it! Looking forward to helping drive change across the country, and support small dollar donors and change makers who are making it possible.
This and the shootings downtown and in Noma - it's too much. The discourse is exhausting, too. We absolutely need to work on the root cause of crime, but at the same time, these people need to be caught and jailed - they are putting innocent lives in danger, and killing people.
As someone who is tall, blonde, and 6’5, the narrative that we are entering “short king spring” is offensive not only to me, but to my entire family.
Let’s unpack this. 🧵 1/34
I will not be participating in shaming irresponsible, selfish straight and gay Americans traveling to Mexico for the New Year in an uncontrolled pandemic, in cities with near 0% ICU availability, at resorts staffed by folks who are dying from COVID at higher rates than they are.
For every reporter that questioned Biden's mental acuity when he was still in the race, I expect to see the same questioning of Trump following this press conference.
I cannot stress enough how much this election is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden, but about what comes with either party's Administration.
See: SCOTUS.
BREAKING: Supreme Court, 5-4 with Barrett and libs dissenting, significnatly narrows obstruction statute DOJ has used to prosecute Jan. 6 defendants, could upend hundreds of cases.
People sleep on Minneapolis, but I’m telling you - it truly is one of the most remarkable cities in the country, and with so much potential for the future.
YIMBY valorization of Minneapolis zoning reforms too often misses the biggest reason for its success — and why it doesn't translate to other Tier Two cities with similar reforms.
Its strong mobility system unlocked undevelopable sites via ultra-efficient building types.

I saw gay men who celebrated the Biden/Harris win, then advertised and *attended* circuit parties in D.C. this last weekend.
Liberal facades don’t shield you from reckless and irresponsible behavior, y’all.

This is an embarrassing money grab, and y’all should be ashamed of yourselves. These teams, and the region’s main arena, should and must stay in Washington, DC.
McConnell: "Looks like the majority is going to have us vote on the motion to proceed to the budget this afternoon. They've chosen a totally partisan path... We're off to a totally partisan start. I think that's unfortunate."
"Life is a series of choices, and they've chosen."
I swear D.C. forecasts are “mostly sunny with a 0% chance of thunderstorms and 100% humidity, partly cloudy in the afternoon with an occasional sudden downpour, expect flash flooding and blue skies the rest of the day, light to moderate hail and fireworks north of P Street.”
