This year’s Met Gala theme: “The Garden of Time.”

Please remember how quickly the Mayor/Council found $500M to incentivize a billionaire next time they try to make us choose between ensuring kids have enough to eat and ensuring they have a home to sleep in.

DC, where are the gays living these days? Or moving to…

@Brightwoodian And we shouldn’t forget the time when she exposed a Whistleblower..independent investigation in deed….

NEW: The first woman who accused John Falcicchio, @MayorBowser's former chief of staff, of sexual harassment, speaks out in an interview w/ @washingtonpost: "I knew that I had to play the game with him to keep my job." This is a difficult read. https://t.co/OXBSAS4fCJ

A lot of local headlines have tragically been about kids being arrested.

Here's something refreshing from @tyronefoto: "Kids write love letters…to themselves"

For elders who are part of the Wards 7 and 8 community, summertime doesn’t always mean summer break. We spoke to them about what their plans are for the season - this is what they had to say: https://t.co/iC13IKm9Tf

@VinceGrayWard7 I’m very concerned of the impacts of our CM’s absence for the first of the @councilofdc budget votes. Of course, the initial concern is that the CM is OK. However, this budget cycle is critical to the needs of Ward 7 not to speak forthrightly to his absence. @ChmnMendelson

[Tazra Mitchell @TazraMitchell]

Yep, and the grocery stores over here are hella expensive for the same items.

Imagine if lawmakers would go to bat for Wards 7 and 8 like they do for developers. That'd be a better use of $1 billion that we're going to spend on (mostly luxury) housing in downtown abatements

[DCist @DCist]

DCist spoke with women who started their own businesses in Wards 7 and 8, the community they found, and the obstacles they’ve overcome.

A driver with $12,000 in unpaid camera tickets plowed head on into a rideshare vehicle and killed three people last week. @MayorBowser’s cameras aren’t keeping anyone safe AND they aren’t keeping dangerous drivers off the road. So, what are we even doing with 342 new cameras?

[Ward7GAYS @Ward7GAYS]

@TheArtist_MBS @dclinenews @MayorBowser Will @DCAttorneyGen investigate?
