I moved to DC for the summer and just learned that landlords don’t have to provide AC here during a heat wave.
@MontgomeryCoMD is the only place in the DMV requiring AC.
I can handle it. Others cant. 1,300 Americans are killed by heat waves each year.

Anyone care to explain?

Slovakian sees a video about American suburbs and posts questions to Reddit. The level of bafflement is hilarious and appropriate.

To Louisiana Republicans, a quarter of women are murderers.
We are saddened by this extremist oppression of women and look forward to joining continued activism for decidedly pro-choice Democrats

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

End the filibuster. Codify #RoeVWade with a national law protecting abortion rights. Expand the Supreme Court. Stop this horrifying injustice in its tracks.

Why did 193 House Republicans vote against a standalone bill to cap the cost of insulin at $35/month?

Unions are growing.

Majorities of every race and party support building more homes

Proposals to bolster healthcare, education, family services, and greening are at record popularity.

Americans are ready to win, and we’ve got the energy to take it all.

Cities across the US were once navigable by Streetcars, fast & reliable street-rail buses.
But once 10% began driving personal cars, traffic made streetcars unreliable. They were then bought and liquidated by GM to wipe out competition. https://t.co/P3hQTXHqPu

En Virginia, familias no pueden recibir su derecho legál a reparos sin demandar a sus caseros sin ayuda de la ciudad. Es injusto y peligroso para miles de niños que viven aquí. Pero juntos, estan peleando para cambios. Como se dice en Barcelona, ¡Todos Unidos Somos Fuertes!

Elena Camacho and Claudia Arevalo, organizers with @NewVAMajority spent this past year reminding Southwood residents of their power.

Then one by one, more than 200 joined a WhatsApp group to try and fight back for their families. They're still going https://t.co/y6fn3mBlXc

Virginians deserve better public transit – that’s why I’m glad at least $1.2 billion in federal money is headed across the Commonwealth to invest in transit, thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure law.

[VAYD Housing Caucus @VAYDHousing]

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will invest $1.2 billion into Virginia transit systems. Democrats are delivering on their campaign promise to increase access to public transportation.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

The bipartisan infrastructure law is the largest federal investment in public transportation ever.

Safe, reliable, efficient public transportation uplifts communities and it cuts emissions – and this law is securing that for Virginians all across the Commonwealth.

National Democrats are delivering for Virginians: @POTUS Biden's Build Back Better bill will assist Virginia's 500,000 renters who spend more than 30% of their income on rent.

[Mark Herring @MarkHerringVA]

#BREAKING - I've filed 13 lawsuits against 29 Richmond-area real estate providers alleging discrimination against Virginians based on source of income.

Every single Virginian has the right to a home, regardless of whether they have assistance paying their rent.
