Catch @dcdoxfest inaugural ⭐️Spotlight⭐️ and North American premiere of @_TheBodyPolitic at DC/DOX! Dir. by Gabriel Francis Paz Goodenough, the film follows Baltimore’s young new mayor @MayorBMScott into office in the midst of a global pandemic & a national reckoning on policing.
Today, I announced I will file legislation to direct @USACEHQ to conduct two studies:
One on alternative drinking water sources for DC in case the Potomac River becomes unusable, and the second on flood mitigation in the Federal Triangle area.

@kristoncapps@nvv___ The people that are in danger of retribution are only the ones that are on the record tho. It's easy to say something like that when you aren't held accountable for it. This group doesn't have more power than the power holders at STABLE.
@kristoncapps@nvv___ reporting about aggression against black women framed in a way that leans into discrediting character by those not even willing to go on record doesn't communicate impartiality and is systemically oppressive. these artists deserve better for opening up to you (and on the record)
@kristoncapps@nvv___ I'll clarify. The "lead" I was referring to is your summary advertising the article on twitter with the anon artists calling the campaign a "performance" which is more than just dissenting opinion, it's a character judgement and it's an opinion at that. This frames the article.
@kristoncapps@nvv___ Deeply disappointed in the framing of this article. Leading the story with the most salacious quotes from anon artists essentially performing character assassination on those who went on the record and centering a story involving the two artists who weren't interviewed...
Action from OMB to defund Seattle, Portland, and New York could come as soon as next week. “Anarchist jurisdictions” are funny but the defunding threat is very real. https://t.co/USeot2tw35
@MayorBowser what are you going to do about all of the DC residents not getting their UI benefits with no answers or recourse? It's been over 10 weeks for some! https://t.co/bNrrw5rQpV

We urge Congress to pass H.R. 51.
The people who call Washington, DC home deserve full representation and self-government, simply to be equal to the states.
@shane_burley1@ArcDigi the privilege you point out is specifically white male privilege. I'm a gen x black woman and built in a strong and national activist community paving the way for you all.
