A news tidbit: Next month D.C. is launching its long-delayed database of rent-controlled housing units. Documentation related to tens of thousands of rent-controlled units exists mostly in paper, making it hard for people to find housing and know whether rent-control applies.

Instead of having plain clothed police officers on public transit, fairs should come out of our local taxes @councilofdc.bsky.social

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

We’re thrilled to have @kengro.bsky.social in conversation at Jackson Art Center on May 3 at 12 noon. “New alliances-fusing politics and culture-is altering how we think about and approach our campaigns,” chej.org/can-art-and-...

Soofia’s story is one heartbreaking example among many, and builds upon myriad anti-immigrant policies Trump tested out during his first term.

It's official: A group of D.C. activists have launched a ballot initiative that would prohibit RFK from being used for a football stadium. Instead, it would have to be used for housing, retail, and parks. Here's the initiative's website: homesnotstadiums.org

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you haven't loved her enough." Corey Booker, just now.

And there it is. Senator Cory Booker makes history-- the longest standing filibuster in US history at 24 hours 19 minutes and counting. Good trouble.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

What Senator Booker is doing is historic. And important. Oher Democrats have joined in. www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

21 hours and 54 minutes 🥹 Thank you @booker.senate.gov

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
