I cried on tv. I shared stories and videos of Allie.
And I will continue to speak out about what it means to lose a loved one in this horrible, preventable way.

"There is no safe place in Gaza. We have been forced to flee south and told it would be safe, but then the bombing didn’t stop...What we are looking for is a sense of safety." says @YousefHammash in an in-depth interview with the @NewYorker. Read more: newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/t…

I don’t even care what the decision is - I just want to know before I go to bed. I can’t be the only one - I have no doubt teachers would love to know too!

This is a crime against humanity.
Israel is deliberately starving 2.3 million of Palestinians caged in Gaza, half of them children.

DC has even more excess revenue than initially projected.
We need to implement our 2023 SNAP increase immediately — there is no excuse to ignore the law and let DC residents go hungry.
29 Dec 2023
The latest forecast shows that there’s even more money to fund the DC expansion to SNAP benefits (food aid),
which the Mayor refuses to implement.
Excess revenues amount to roughly $275 million vs the February 23 revenue forecast for FY 2023.

Really deep nasty looking pothole in the intersection of Cedar and 5th NW @311DCgov - needs some attention before someone gets hurt.
