This is just insane. The former director of a key public safety agency said she was ordered to not look into DC employees being paid without working, to deny public information requests as retribution, and to share false data with the DC Council.

DC already has a felony theft penalty enhancement for anyone convicted of theft 2 or more times with a sentence of 1-15 years in prison. But USAO fails to prosecute 50% of these repeat offenses. DC does not need "tougher laws." We just need to enforce the laws we already have.

Charles Allen is a neighbor and a father of two DCPS students. He’s a fierce advocate for Ward6 AND DC. He works with our Council of DC to reach consensus and win support to complex issues such as public safety. I’m glad Charles Allen is my councilmember! NoWard6recall.org

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

Still trying to figure out how DC is short on SNAP funds but somehow passing a half billion emergency funds for a sports arena and a billionaire. apple.news/AUFp3UmgAS0q0g…

Israel has killed more aid workers in the last 6 months than have died in all of the countries in the rest of the world combined in any of the last 30 years

This is how Wesleyan’s president has responded to student protesters. Why can’t other administrators clear this low bar of basic decency and care for their students’ peaceful protests?!

Because D.C. is not a state, far-right congressional Republicans can credibly threaten to impose martial law on D.C. to clear out protestors whose viewpoints they disagree with. It has to stop. We need statehood NOW

A woman on CNN is saying the anti-Vietnam protests were different from the situation now, which is “very polarizing.” People always do this — make it seem like past activists were somehow uncontroversial. It’s nonsense. Activism by its nature is antagonistic to the status quo.

Biden Political Appointee, Ethan Wolf, suggesting that students protesting an ongoing genocide and the insurrectionists on January 6th are the same thing. What the hell is wrong with you?

As GW student protesters host teach ins on Gaza and safety demonstrations, juggling that with studying for exams, Republicans in Congress are trying to hold a hearing on why the mayor won't send DC police to the campus. Great reporting from The GW Hatchet

DC is supposed to be a bastion for protest and exercising First Amendment Rights. Cracking down on campus protestors to appease MAGA Republicans in Congress is wrong and sets an incredibly dangerous precedent for our city.
