@martinmiguel__ You should see McMillan Park. Designed by Olmsted (think NYC’s Central Park) 😱

@AlexKomaWCP Because crime does pay! 💰 There’s much more money to be made from longer sentences & more pre-trial detention. 👀

A reminder today that of the 75+ full-service grocery stores in the District, only 4 are currently located in the parts of Wards 7 and 8 east of the Anacostia River, where more than 1 out of every 5 DC residents live. Wards 1 & 4 now have 13 and 12, respectively. #EndFoodDeserts

Will there be the required 1/3 housing units to be "non-market, Affordable Housing?

225 residents of Seneca Village were displaced in the mid 1800s to make way for Central Park, which is considered one of the masterpieces of landscape architect #FrederickLawOlmsted; a generation later his son created McMillanPark #RightToAssembly #DCRaceLegacy #SAVEMcMillanPark

Another reason to look at and question use and disuse and dvlpmnt of DC’s McMillan Park, designed to be used for passive recreation in the middle of the city. #SAVEMcMillanPark 🌳

The Fair Housing Act of 1968 officially outlawed the "covenants" that restricted homebuying in certain neighborhoods to White people. But the damage they caused has lasted much longer.

I continue to mourn the wretched murder of Jordan Neely—and feel the weight of history. Jordan’s murder, and his killer’s defense, are reminiscent of the murders of Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery. So reminiscent of America's wretched history of racist vigilante violence. 1/

Bowser's office gave more details to @deliangoncalves after she dismissed Martin's q: the interim director is "getting paid under a different position."

Any new thoughts about stopping the unneeded
multi-tenant office building & luxury housing @McMillanPark, now that the caverns have been destroyed? This site should be a monument to Black history of DC, not housing for yuppies. @SaveMcMillan #greenspace #peoplespark
