50 years of Metrorail. A remarkable milestone for a system on the up that is still celebrating being named Outstanding Public Transportation System (it's like the Oscars of public transit). (1/4) 🧵 @wmata

Is there a spot in your neighborhood that could use some trash pickup? Host a site for the Great Ward 6 Spring Clean on April 25! It’s easy: email Kate at kmitchell@dccouncil.gov, & we’ll help recruit volunteers & provide supplies for pickup. Then, you just show up & pitch in!

Looking good, @wmata 🌸

The feds removing this bike lane makes our streets less safe - both for our residents & all the tourists enjoying DC. 🚲 🌸 And it’s brought to us by the same folks trying to stop DC from holding dangerous drivers accountable. It all leads to putting more people in harm’s way.

@wmataGM @wmata This reminds me: I was telling someone yesterday how I never take Metro for granted. I don't forget I went from DART to WMATA!

👀👀 DMV @wmata riders let’s make it clear who is top of this bracket!

The new stuff at Metro’s spring pop-up store (which opened today) is… amazing. The branding team is doing some pretty killer work with making a system as utilitarian as Metro has historically been seem fresh, cool, and memorable.

Agree

Electric bills keep rising — and solar can help lower costs. But connecting panels in DC can take 2+ months and sometimes comes with surprise charges of $20K or more. The GRID Act from CM @charlesallen aims to fix the process. ⬇️

Follow your local library on social — we share events, resources, and a lot of fun along the way. But we also rely on you to help spread the word. Share, like, tell a friend. ♥️ Thanks for being part of our community.

Name all the elected public officials who have actually “visited” this site to help warn the public to stay away from this environmental mess. I know of only one - DC Council member Charles Allen (chair environment committee.)

Happy Valentine's Day, Ward 6!

Working from the beautiful MLK library, where renewing my @dcpl card took less than a minute!

@dcpl This reminds me: I'll see you all to renew mine mañana!

Dear Algorithm, please send me people who actually want a library card today. I’m exhausted but still ready to sign you up. Do your thing, bestie.

We spent the morning at the Potomac spill site, where elevated levels of E. coli, MRSA, and other bacteria pose a serious health concern for our region. Your drinking water is safe. Contact with the river water may not be right now. More from CM @charlesallen 👇

They’re back! GoGo, Punk, and the MLK Library duck fam have returned for duckling season. It’s still cold outside, but this is our official sign that spring is on the way. 😍

Timeline cleanser

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

CM @charlesallen met w/ residents at Museum Square, a 10-story building that has been w/o a working elevator for 2 months. Completely unacceptable. He’s working with @DC_DOB, @DCAttorneyGen, & the Fire Marshall on fixes + exploring legislative solutions to protect tenants. More👇
