Another instance of “we’ll do everything to bike lanes that we should be doing to the street.” I really love 🙄 the way cars have a straight path with no obstruction but mobility lane users are forced to the curb (originally designed so cars could park) to maneuver around obstacle after obstacle 🙃

Besides extract trillions from the economy? Well I’ve got a list of the corrupt and horrific acts they have committed against each and every community they have any influence over. First starting with the fact they actively make the decisions that kill people and destroy our community.

"What we face is nothing compared to what Palestinians in Gaza endure," one ‪@freedomflotilla.bsky.social‬ member said. www.commondreams.org/news/freedom...

Every bus stop with a person sitting on the curb because there is no bench (just a sign on a pole) is a policy failure.

If I had to bet, I'd bet these tanks don't leave DC after the parade

Nestled within Arlington County, VA, is a rare Magnolia Bog wetland, one of less than two dozen in the world. This endangered habitat boasts rare native plants and animals but is under threat due to development.

This part!!!! The fact U street and 12th street were open to vehicles is just insanity! It’s like they decided closing down just one block off the parade route will be fine. It’s not like thousands are trying to attend WorldPride 🏳️‍🌈 or anything. 🤬🤬🤬 STOP 🛑 prioritizing cars 🚗 over people! 🚶🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Today Saturday June 7 has early voting across Virginia Voters can cast ballots at their local election office and satellite locations in some places Dems have a statewide primary for LG and AG GOP has some House of Delegates and local primaries www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ba...

Just bought my first monthly pass for Capital Bike Share 🚲 Excited to see how much I use it over the next month!

Mayor Adams thinks one of these is "an emergency threat to life and property."

After we ban guns, we ban private car ownership

Personally not a fan of Mario kart since it teaches kids to support car centric infrastructure

This is the horror Americans are facing! Our leaders should be doing more than give statements. Do more @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov @beyer.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov

Another fire in GeorgeTown 🙃

HAPPY PRIDE! I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for the acceptance and liberation movements! These movements have been led and organized by Black, Queer, Trans, and Sex Workers who weren't allowed to have party allegiance and instead stood up for what is GOOD! SHOW OUT! BE VISIBLE! STAND PROUD!

This was great! So glad to have been able to attend 😄

What the fuck DC? Politicians overturning and undermining ballot initiatives is corrupt and unacceptable behavior. Primary and replace every council member that voted for this. Replace Bowser with an independent 20-30 year old who is in touch with reality! www.bizjournals.com/washington/n...

Simplify our process and support small and medium businesses! #RankJeramyOlmack1or2forArlcoBoard

Hey, reminder about the Bluesky IRL cookout on June 3rd. If you’re around Arlington, hope to see you! Bon Air Park, over by where it runs into I-66.

"There are only two kinds of society in which armed agents of the government routinely conceal their identities: (1) Failed states, where criminals contest the government’s hold on power. (2) Authoritarian states, where the government has total, unchecked power." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-secret...

I pretty much ate and drank whatever during the years I lived in Washington DC but as soon as I moved to the Midwest we bought two cars and I got fat. Turns out the “walkable lifestyle” also happens to be what our bodies are evolved to do.

The money the Columbia Pike Revitalization is wasting to repave the road is just a huge waste. The maintenance costs are going to drain any proposed economic benefits. The Pike revitalization should have been a pedestrianized street with an LRT-streetcar and a Metro line!

This is what I’m talking about when I say having 62% of the housing market be mass rentals is a bad thing. 🏢📈 Arlington County may not be able to sue but the board can pass regulations and policies that limit the power these companies have over us. They can also push the state to take action!

Pride Month isn’t about elevating one existence over others; it’s about lifting those who have been told their existence or their love is wrong, that they are less. I’d love to not need a month dedicated to lifting people from persecution, hate, or self-loathing. Till then, I’m here for the lift.

Just fucking insane. Killing street cars for busses harms everyone! STOP GIVING THESE PEOPLE THE AIR. STOP MORE FUCKING WASTEFUL CAR INFRASTRUCTURE
