In America, the people are the sovereign, not the president.
That’s the whole point of America. In 1776 we threw off the yoke of the English King.
We cannot give in to a new king.
We cannot.

DC fans who present proof of D.C. residency can purchase up to four tickets. There is no limit on the number of games

In 2002-2003 the DC Board of Education required all students be fully immunized over Christmas vacation before they could return to school. DC went from 41,000 un-immunized public school students to 20 in that time.

They are banned in DC as of January 2022. Leg passed in 2018
“A gasoline-powered leaf blower spews out more pollution than a 6,200-pound Ford F-150 SVT Raptor pickup” and “emissions from a half-hour of yard work with the two-stroke leaf blower are about the same as a 3,900-mile drive from Texas to Alaska”

Thought I’d give you another chance to watch the Anacostia otters because it’s Friday
Did you know we have river otters in the Anacostia? Check out this encounter caught on a trail cam in Upper Beaverdam Creek! While the state conservation status is “secure” in Maryland, finding otters in the Anacostia is a sign of the river's improving health!

Prioritizing pedestrian transit over all others must be the future of a revitalized downtown DC.
One of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS your city could do to become more healthy, sustainable, livable, affordable, equitable, successful — stop pretending to “balance” transportation modes, and commit to PRIORITIZING walking/rolling, biking, public transit. HT
