Sticking it out for now 😐

@leylaaa31 It is literally criminal that I have not been at this point 😩

@shannonrwatts Sounds like the Spencer Pratt model

[Crystal @CrystalZipperer]

I regret to inform you that actually going to PT and doing your little exercises at home consistently does work 😅

[Crystal @CrystalZipperer]

@thepugdc @MandyKnowsDC Wait what should NOMA be instead?!

[Crystal @CrystalZipperer]

@tomsherwood Those of us in Ward 4 welcome it! The past couple weeks there have been multiple shootings and we’re looking for answers/prevention next steps.

[Janeese Lewis George @Janeese4DC]

I'm proud to have earned the trust of @IAFF36, who keep our city safe.

Lyman: Did you vote for Mayor Mamdani?

Voter: Yes, I did.

Lyman: What is one thing you like the mayor has done?

Voter: I think he has brought more integrity to the office. Eric Adams was crooked as hell and we want somebody honest.

A Democrat running for office must provide detailed plans on how to fix every issue while a Republican running for office just need to come up with a nickname for their opponent.

[Shane 🏴🌹🇵🇸 @misterAmos]

honestly wild how routinely the claim is made that JLG’s policy platform isn’t economically feasible when McDuffie wants to hire 1,000 more cops, reduce the number of traffic cameras, & opposes increasing taxes on residents making over 250k a year

9 years ago. More political games by @kenyanmcduffie

Mcduffie proposed an amendment that threatened to derail a bill to fix an unjust “contributory negligence” rule for people hit by drivers while walking and bicycling.

@MayorBowser I want teen / public fighting addressed, and if the ppl local to the areas where it’s happening think this helps, ok. But I don’t understand why we don’t have this level of energy for the adult shootings and robberies that occur at all hours of the day all over the city.

[Crystal @CrystalZipperer]

@Rybread_26 @leylaaa31 “Standard issue progressive” is legitimately laughable, especially to then label him “pro-business.” It’s one thing to support the moderate dem in the race and another to try to obfuscate what he is.

[Crystal @CrystalZipperer]

@MandyKnowsDC They’re definitely using this poll in a coordinated way to push the establishment message

[Crystal @CrystalZipperer]

@MandyKnowsDC My comment was that it seems like registered democrats are underrepresented, if I interpreted their sample right! 487/735 - so what is the affiliation of the rest and where’s the breakdown of support by party?

I’m curious to see if non-Democrats are skewing the Dem primary polls

[Crystal @CrystalZipperer]

Interesting to me (who knows nothing about these surveys) is the sample size is only 735, which seems small - but also only 487 of those are registered Democrats? Isn’t DC 92% Democrat?

Didn’t see a breakdown between JLG and KD by party reg - curious if non-Dems skew the data.

Finally, on the issues, the cost of living is not surprisingly top of mind for D.C. voters, followed by housing, public safety, schools, and further back standing up to Trump.

@AshleySchapitl I’d like to see him come to Janeese’s territory out here in Petworth and appeal to all the families who are committed to being here and supporting foundational changes. Tell us how we can feel better about not playing the public charter school rat race.

[Crystal @CrystalZipperer]

@DMVAdventures @BarredinDC Any idea if it gets less busy super late? Eyeing for a post-GNO stop

[Crystal @CrystalZipperer]

@afuzejenkins @neeratanden Exactly this. I do not trust him and don’t think he deserves the benefit of the doubt more than Janeese.

I understand why many Asian families feel frustrated in elite admissions systems. In intensely competitive environments, there is a real perception — and sometimes evidence — that exceptional academic performance still does not guarantee admission.

That feeling should not be dismissed.

But admissions committees also confront another reality: if you have 100 applicants from privileged, high-performing educational pipelines with nearly identical scores, resumes, research access, tutoring, and opportunities, it is not irrational to also value the applicant who achieved similar academic success despite poverty, instability, underfunded schools, family hardship, or lack of institutional advantages.

That is not abandoning merit. It is recognizing that achievement exists in context.

And medicine especially is not merely selecting expert test takers. It is selecting future physicians who will care for human beings across every class, culture, language, and circumstance in society.

The irony is that many people who defend “objective merit” often become deeply uncomfortable the moment merit is evaluated in anything broader than a percentile ranking.
