My March Takoma Community Cleanup happens during #TranspoBINGO. Come get a board, mark a square, and keep our neighborhood clean. March 1, 10 am by Safeway. RSVPs appreciated but not required: www.facebook.com/share/1HDS58....

If they're "not real", why should anyone care if they've been fired, made homeless, lost their healthcare? If they're "not real", they can be impoverished, imprisoned, disappeared and it doesn't matter. Disposable employees. Disposable people.

This is ridiculous for all the reasons people are noting. But I’m also disgusted that this is designed as a test of obedience. Nazi shit.

I think @theglipper.bsky.social needs a Cathy-style comic strip, where he says “yikes” instead of “ack” regarding the latest atrociousness. If I had the skill to do it, I would.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

NEW: The importance of being litigious. Lawsuits matter — even when they might not "win." This afternoon, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/the-import...

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

We joined @hillfamilybiking.org for their pre #TranspoBINGO ride and cleanup.☀️ Always joyful and inclusive of all abilities! Bonus: three modes of active transpo via Capital Bikeshare, Streetcar, and @wmata.com. Boards go live shortly before the game launches on Feb 27. More at www.transpobingo.com.

Just did the @hillfamilybiking.org cleanup ride! Marked “Spot Celeb on Transpo” on my #TranspoBINGO card cause I spotted the amazing @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social and Peter Harnik.

Ward 6 kicked off #TranspoBINGO with style. Metro, Streetcar, Pie Shop, and dancing. Who could ask for more? #TranspoBINGO www.transpobingo.com

Quick resources for if your expecting to unexpectedly leave federal service: community.publicgood.tech/c/resources/...

No Kings, Only Trains is a nice fit for this year’s #TranspoBINGO. This year we’re fighting for DC and local autonomy, in addition to public transit and public spaces. Board goes live in less than a week at www.transpobingo.com.

Sure there’s procedures and timelines that are supposed to slow down and prevent things like ending DC’s home rule. But that presumes an intention to follow procedures and ignores the illegal and extralegal actions happening all around us.

#MBTpubroll today is pub staying warm from the snowy weather at Johnny's in Columbia Heights starting at 5:30pm. And remember folks, next Thursday is the big #TranspoBINGO pub roll - we'll be biking to 3 bars for 3 bingo squares come rain, snow, or shine so mark your calendars and come join us! 🚲🍻🎉

Page proofs for SHE'S UNDER HERE have arrived. Gosh, it looks like a book. I'm going to print out two copies, and over the next week my sainted husband will sit with me and read it aloud, taking turns every other section. Tedious but absolutely worth it. And then it will truly be out of my hands.

Threats to local autonomy aren't just a DC thing. 😔

"The concert was abruptly canceled without explanation." It's homophobia. Homophobia is the explanation. operawire.com/kennedy-cent...

can't comprehend how it's more normalized to spend state money on building a sports stadium, but not a grocery store. shelter, food, health care. get those straight first. and i say that as someone who enjoys live sports in person and on tv. state money should go towards the former first.

PSA: Maryland has some great resources available for former federal employees/contractors. If you are one, or know of some (at this point, who doesn't?), please share this site. Hopefully they can get in on that workshop tomorrow morning. Of particular help: it promises emotional support:

In thinking about skills that would supplement what we have so far, bystander intervention and navigating unemployment assistance would be helpful. Are you skilled in these areas? We (and the neighborhood) want you!

Our last volunteer event was a great example of collaboration. Alexis from @potomacconservancy came out to lend a hand and Four Mile Run Conservatory loaned us waders to help us go further out in the marsh to retrieve tires. Love the partnership between environmental groups in the DC area.

I was already hating flying. Between disgusting germs and poor hygiene + people being cruel to children and babies - not for me. Now it’s also fucking scary?

I need a map of community boards/places to put flyers. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
