Momentum picks up in states across the country to #RestoreTheVote to formerly incarcerated men and women. 👏npr.org/2023/03/01/116…

New data shows the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute 67% of all arrests by D.C. police in FY 2022. The USAO’s declination rate has steadily risen since 2016, suggesting a major gap between how MPD and District prosecutors interpret evidence. bit.ly/3YXZJzi

The SUV in the crash has 44 outstanding tickets worth more than $12,000 dollars. 4 of the tickets are $1,000 dollars.

A great article about the geometry challenges of converting office buildings to residential 1616 Walnut (the building on the left!) was one of the very first projects that my company worked on. Awesome graphics that show how a typical floor is laid out. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@AnacostiaNPS how do I submit a request to fix the various streetlights that are out along Anacostia drive? (between Douglass and Penn bridge). DC311 said these lights not in their domain.

Re-upping my yearly (bi-yearly?) request to have swings replaced at playground next to Anacostia Rec Center. @311DCgov one baby swing missing for 2 years! Other should be replaced before a baby ends up on the ground. The two big kid swings also about to tear—both need replacing.

DDOT keeps closing TSI requests for Eckington streets without any action being taken. The honest fear among many residents is that someone will have to get injured or die before action is taken. @MayorBowser @DDOTDCDirector @DDOTDC @DCVisionZero

We miss you in DC too!

Proposed litmus tests for couple of Cabinet positions in next admin: HUD Secretary should have been a renter within the past decade, DOT Secretary should ride public transit, walk, and/or bike on regular basis. What are appropriate screens for other agencies?

As a Mississippian, I am grateful beyond words that the Mississippi House has voted to take the Confederate Battle Flag off of our state flag. It’s time for a new day. #TakeItDown #changetheflag

This is pretty amazing.

Trying to work and I keep coming back to this. I just wish Gwen Ifill were still here. She would be the first to say she doesn't have the answers. But I know, I know she would be asking the right questions. I miss you Gwen.

Proud to support my new neighborhood @Starbucks on opening day... even in the rain... even in a pandemic. Stop by MLK & Maple View Pl SE in #Anacostia to show some love to the hard working crew and get yourself a drink. #ANC8A

As long as blackness is stigmatized: - EVERY ONE us "fits the description" - NOT ONE of us are truly safe. To be black man in America is,still, to live without liberties. No peaceful jogs. No leisurely strolls. No mindless movement. Every step on high alert. #AhmaudArbery

@richmanmax @richmanmax the guys at Distad's autoshop on the hill (super trustworthy) recently recommended Kelley's Performance & Custom in Hyattsville for some welding on my car (tho haven't gone yet) yelp.com/biz/kelleys-pe…

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear gloves. It's Transit Worker Appreciation Day, and it means even more this year. Today, tonight and in the challenging days ahead, our frontline colleagues will strive to keep Metro running for those who need it. We salute them tonight. #wmata

The first arch is complete for the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge! One down; five to go! @newfdmb #WashingtonDC

This positive outlook on @wmata is contagious, keep it up @richmanmax 💪

Thanks Hanna for your service to the neighborhood!
