Food policy. Climate change. Eliminating health disparities. I sometimes have opinions. #BlackLivesMatter

[Scott Hadland, MD @DrScottHadland]

Breaking: @US_FDA is done with its ban on gay men like me donating blood. I used to routinely donate blood (and once organized a campus-wide blood drive in college) but haven't been able to for years because of this discriminatory policy. Thrilled for this change.🌈

A D.C. bill awkwardly remains in legislative limbo because Congress and the D.C. Council can't agree how long 30 days really is. https://t.co/4q8fsAFVht

BREAKING: At least 102 children as young as 13 were found working overnight shifts, using hazardous chemicals, and cleaning brisket saws at 13 plants in eight states.

The U.S. Department of Labor has fined Packers Sanitation Services $1.5 million for these egregious violations.

@marvelousmrsmom And dogs. And chocolate.

[Diane Yentel @dianeyentel]

What an absurd take. The urgency is to get people safely housed - not to forcibly remove them with no alternatives. James, where do you think people go when an encampment is swept? McPherson Square encampment began when another was cleared 2 blocks away.

little-known fact: if the speaker vote goes to a seventh ballot John Quincy Adams rises from the sea astride a seahorse of enormous dimensions and the winner has to fight him

@bobhasathought @TerriGerstein @EconomicPolicy That's what I was going to recommend too

@Ashleigh_Nugent I'll try! K has a soccer tournament of his own this weekend, so we'll be on the road for part of it and listening on the radio!

[Sara Hoverter @shoverter]

@Ashleigh_Nugent I would also look into the walkability/public safety/etc. parts of Thrive 2050 now that it's been passed. A sidewalk near school would further goals established by the new comp plan, I would guess - message me if you want to chat

[Adams Morgan BID @AdMoBID]

We are heartbroken to hear that Rusty the Red Panda has passed away. Rusty was an inspiration to anyone who ever looked at the unchanging scenery of their daily lives & daydreamed about breaking out of that routine in favor of an adventure in Adams Morgan. #RIPRusty #AdamsMorgan

@agent_of_callie This was me once in the back of an ambulance, if that makes you feel better.
