Self-driving cars are programmed to break the law. Seriously, the federal government needs to get ahead of this and severely punish any car manufacturer that programs its cars to break the law and endanger other road users.

This car was in front of me at a light and my partner noticed the temp tags expired in 2020. An MPD officer was in the next lane, and the tag was clearly visible. Over $15k in tickets, most of them reckless driving… over THREE years. But easy access to records is the problem?

“You can use the N95 mask you bought for the pandemic to filter out the wildfire smoke engulfing the entire Northeast” is a neat little sentence that lets you know we’re in the fun part of the century that future historians are going to talk about a lot.

It took DC Fire and EMS Department (DCFD) 30 minutes to reach trapped people + animals at District Dogs after the first call came in. Office of Unified Communications didn’t take the first 2 calls from the manager at 5:06pm seriously. It wasn’t until 5:28 that FEMS deployed a boat to DD. Our dogs were confirmed dead at 5:36pm.

Opinion by Karen Attiah: We cannot stand by and watch Israel commit atrocities. The United States and other global leaders must not allow Israel to carry out the collective punishment it has declared it will exact on Gaza. wapo.st/3S0wXhC

Israel has wiped out all generations of 45 Palestinian families. Never in my life did I think I’d read a headline like this. All generations, of 45 families.

A released Palestinian prisoner says in Arabic that Israel held them in the cold w/o electricity, "sprayed us w/ pepper spray" & "left us to die." She never mentioned Hamas or a word like it. Yet BBC translated to: "No one helped us. Only Hamas cared...We love them very much."

Most MPD "adverse actions" are for failing to follow orders but some stand out: "Falsified laboratory test results" "Sexual Assault" "Participated in January 6 riot" These 3 examples resulted in suspensions, not termination. From MPD's oversight docs: lims.dccouncil.gov/Hearings/heari…
