Transportation without representation. The joys and pains of biking in DC and beyond. All skeets are my own and do not represent the views any campaign, office, or organization!
Home rule is all or nothing -- either you believe that the people of DC should be allowed to make our own laws, or you don't. If you run to the GOP congress to get them to undo our laws, you do not stand with the people of DC. #DeleteDoorDash
Martin AustermuhleIn a letter to the D.C. Council, Door Dash says its recent advocacy for a House GOP bill that restricts D.C.'s ability to determine taxes and fees reflected its opposition to a new 20-cent delivery tax in D.C., "not D.C.'s broader ability to... govern autonomously."
still pretty mad at @mayorbowser.dc.gov and DDOT Director Kershbaum for being so eager to make streateries all but illegal. It was a very bad decision that is making our neighborhoods actively worse places to live and visit.
David RamosThe Purple Patch streatery, the last one remaining on Mount Pleasant Street, is coming down. The new DC rules and fees have just about wiped out expanded outdoor dining across Ward 1. www.popville.com/2026/07/purp...
my proposal for RFK stadium transit: Everyone who wants to drive simply goes to a large offsite parking lot somewhere near, let's say, landover MD. They can tailgate there if they want to. Then a series of shuttle buses takes them to RFK for the game, and back to their cars afterwards!
Martin AustermuhleD.C. is putting $300 million towards expanding the Stadium Armory station, which Clarke says is needed. But he adds, "There isn’t a lot of time. August 2030 is around the corner for us." Work will have to be done as regular service continues as the station.
This is great news, it will make DC elections more fair and democratic, and it codifies the overwhelming support for I-83 from voters two years ago. Thanks to all the Councilmembers who voted in support of opening DC primaries to independent voters!
Alex KomaAnd this has officially passed! Primaries will be open to independent voters starting in 2028. Mendo and Felder vote no, Crawford and and Trayon White vote present.
Congrats to @aparnafordc.bsky.social on winning the Ward 1 Council nomination! I'm proud of what we accomplished on Miguel's campaign, and I wish Aparna the best of luck when she takes over the Ward 1 seat next January.
Miguel for Ward 1I just called @aparnafordc.bsky.social to congratulate her & to make plans to put our heads together on pressing priorities for our ward! We both know that DC gov needs to show up better for Ward 1. I’m so proud to have championed our neighbors in this race & to finally see RCV in action! 🩵
