@xfinity why are you calling me trying to sell me a mobile plan while my home internet is actively down? This is comically insulting and an allegory for what is wrong with the United States of America. Your company is an utter embarrassment to the concept of customer service.
There's clearly a lot of deep symbolism to the closure of Dupont Circle ahead of the WorldPride Parade, and it speaks to a much broader fight that is playing out: D.C.'s role as a local place with longtime residents versus its status of the nation's capital, a city for everyone.
“If @MayorBowser really cared about helping the restaurants out, she would go after corporate landlords. But she won’t do that,” O’Leary said. “She won’t go after their practices because she is bought and paid for by the real estate industry.” https://t.co/msENmC3nP8
Kamala Harris’ angry voters are now vandalizing monuments near Congress outside of Netanyahu’s speech. Remember, President Trump had enhanced penalties for vandalizing statues in D.C.

We are glad that @AmericanU and @WAMU leadership unlocked DCist. Making the archives available to the public is the right thing to do. We thank you for your support.
We continue to be concerned about the way WAMU handled the shut down of @DCist and laid off critical colleagues.
Jenny has been a staunch ally of DC mutual aid and her work helped, among other things, to bring accountability to DC DOC. May she immediately rise up and prosper in spite of this.
I’ve been laid off from my job covering criminal justice at @wamu885/ @DCist. Thank you to all of the DMV residents who trusted me with your stories. It was an honor and I felt like I was just getting started. Please support my colleagues at @WeMakeWAMU
While the mayor is pushing plans to arrest people for using drugs, her Department of Corrections killed someone via medical neglect over the weekend in Central Cell Block.
I'm so so so angry and sad.
@thelindsayellis' mistreatment by a society that grants Henry Kissinger a peaceful life bothers me at night. People torture her for sport and he's treated with respect as he visits China at 100 years old.
Blaine Forsythe has been hired as an assistant coach by the Arizona Coyotes.
We figured he'd take the year off to win the latest season of Survivor, but apparently, he can't quit the hockey.

Hey, so way back in 2016 when I wrote my first real story on Tesla (see pinned tweet) I asked how they calculated their carbon impact. They said they assumed that every electron that went into one of its cars was zero carbon.
Tesla is the most blatant greenwasher around.
