You will never see the real New York (or any city) from the windows of a car.
You'll think you have, but you'll have only experienced a guarded, limited, and shallow perspective, detached from the people and life of it all
A curfew announcement for the Takoma Rec Center area
This is real dirty work by @dcpolicedept.bsky.social and @mayorbowser.dc.gov: a juvenile curfew zone that surrounds just a playground, rec center, ball fields and pool that REMAINS OPEN after the curfew is in effect. The whole point of these facilities is to be a place for kids to go?!

Vote 9-5 along party lines to report the bill to the full Appropriations Committee.
And the FSGG subcommittee meeting concluded. We’ll look ahead—and show up!—to the full Appropriations Committee next week.
Had the chance to speak with Reps DeLauro, Hoyer, and Ivey on our way out!
Your daily reminder that National Guard of multiple states deployed to D.C. are doing nothing but killing time and burning tax $$.
At worst, unconstitutional. At best, senseless waste.
Give thanks today to the good people of @freedcproject.bsky.social for SHOWING UP for DC.
This Spring Break, the youth said we outside💜
Leadership week on our campaign. Real programming, real engagement, real impact.
DC’s youth are talented, brilliant, and ready. They just need leaders who match their energy.
And yeah… they showed up 🔥
"Don't Rank Pinto: Leave Brooke Pinto off your ballot. June 16."
As Councilmember, Brooke Pinto has consistently advanced policies that endanger Black and Brown families. Yesterday she did it again for her own political gain.
We encourage DC voters: #DontRankPinto.
On the post under a prominent yellow SPEED HUMP sign on the grassy verge beside a city sidewalk, tree + parked cars in view, is a small but snazzy knitted yarnbomb: single-color letters following the order of rainbow hues on a black field.
ROY G. BIV for the win!!!
We didn't even know D.C. had a street named "Sigsbee Place" but that's where this rainbow-themed beaut is hanging, in Northeast in the Brookland - Michigan Park area.
still too soon

"Ask your mom" is the original two factor authentication.

So many newly-planted trees are going to die if they don’t get a lot of water from YOU, their neighbors, THIS WEEK.
We gotta care about the future. Water all the trees you can, now.
You guys I am living my best life right now talking to prairie dogs! Listen to this cuteness.
it'll be back in three days
NEW: Mayor Muriel Bowser unveiled a $21.2 billion budget proposal for 2027 on Friday — 4% smaller than last year's.
We're going to see pushback to the cuts she’s proposing from D.C. activists, advocates, and lawmakers, @maustermuhle.bsky.social reports. Here are some of the fights already brewing:

Our hearts are aflutter at this!
"Make Zines"
Knit messages. Make all the stuff.
Free DC.
i don't know who all needs this but you're out there, probably in legions
Too, too cute. Are they related?!?
No rainbow flags? OK -- how about rainbows every-fucking-where else, then?
Now they just need 'em in yarn.
National guard also here (counting five soldiers but I’ve only been on one side so far) which has been uncommon at demonstrations and is a new development I don’t love
You, too, can stitch up a cheery FreeDC banner using our patterns (or your own designs)! bit.ly/FDCyarnbomb
Mount yourself or mail to us for installation, at address in pattern. DC will love you for it!
If yr hands are NOT busy 🧶, dial your CongressPeoples if U have them + tell them #FreeDC.
Leafy street intersection, sunny day, brick row house in background. Close up, a bright pink, knitted "FREE DC" banner (white letters), with elegant ribbing at top and bottom adorns a sign bearing an arrow.
Wider shot of the pink-and-white FREE DC yarnbomb, showing hedges, apartments/houses in distance, and "stop here on red" on the decorated sign.
#yarnbombing newbie sent pics of this gorgeous maiden effort, at 10th + Taylor SE, on a bus route near nightly @freedcproject.bsky.social pot-banging (a.k.a. cacerolazos, a.k.a. Noise Every Night).
Was it fun, we asked? "YES! Lots of interest from drivers + thumbs up + smiles!"
in an ideal world this would be the most unhinged post of the day
Happy Spring, and a peaceful Easter to all who observe.
