Meanwhile, back in the real world, the other 99.99 percent of us in the District are just trying to live our damn lives and wondering how we can be Americans and still have no vote in Congress #DCStatehood

Politicians, diplomats and the media elite are returning to their playgrounds in Washington, D.C., emerging from the depths of the pandemic and returning to their playground — some would say swamp — with a growing appetite for surreal displays of normalcy. nyti.ms/3wRjnPS

And so he died on a CaBi not six hours after he tweeted about how unsafe DC is for cyclists. I’m so mad. I’m so tired.

Had to bike through a roundabout over a highway to get my Covid jab. Lifespan maximization function is clearly perfectly well-calibrated.

“It turns out that yelling at bike commuters, stray tourists, and kids sledding did not prove to be a successful deterrent to a mob invasion that was announced ahead of time.” Nice work, @sharrowsDC.

Pretty sure nobody on the @BidenInaugural marketing team has ever knit a blanket 🧶 “one to two hours” lol 😂🤣 #knitting 💙

Day in and day out, mostly white politicians trash Washington DC and Congress. Yesterday people literally did it. Then they take metro trains largely driven by Black people, greet Black staff, eat meals cooked by Latinos and then go tell everyone how terrible Washington is.

If D.C. were a state, this would not have been able to happen. The D.C. National Guard is the only National Guard that reports only to the president.

I found the word of 2020: UHTCEARE (Noun, Old English) anxiety experienced just before dawn, when you wake up too early and can't get back to sleep, no matter how tired you are, because you're worried about the day to come.
