I don't want more "school choice" I want to walk my kid to a neighborhood school that has every resource it needs. #dumpdevos #holdthefloor

I cried on tv. I shared stories and videos of Allie.

And I will continue to speak out about what it means to lose a loved one in this horrible, preventable way.

@Evan_Yeats @311DCgov @takoma_es @erinfordc @dcwater Thanks Evan!

[Sumner McRae @sumner_mcrae]

Major flooding again at corner of Cedar and 5th NW @311DCgov. Many @takoma_es kids cross here to get to school. This has happened several times now - what’s the timeline for repair? @Evan_Yeats @erinfordc

@CMLewisGeorgeW4 @311DCgov @takoma_es @Evan_Yeats @erinfordc @dcwater Thank you!

@askparamount @bria_001 @paramountplus It’s very glitchy @paramountplus - sounds like many people are having issues with the stream.

We lived in Rafah one of the most terrifying nights in our lives.

[Yousef D. Hammash @YousefHammash]

The only question I heard from people in Rafah for the past 2 days: Where should we go?

[NRC Middle East & North Africa @NRC_MiddleEast]

"There is no safe place in Gaza. We have been forced to flee south and told it would be safe, but then the bombing didn’t stop...What we are looking for is a sense of safety." says @YousefHammash in an in-depth interview with the @NewYorker. Read more: https://t.co/wmDMQssqPC

@AnnieLyon Ask and you shall receive 😂 Now I’m going to bed!

[Sumner McRae @sumner_mcrae]

I don’t even care what the decision is - I just want to know before I go to bed. I can’t be the only one - I have no doubt teachers would love to know too!

[The Hill is Home @theHillisHome]

Hey @dcpublicschools — when are you going to call it re: 2-hour delay vs no school?

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is a crime against humanity.

Israel is deliberately starving 2.3 million of Palestinians caged in Gaza, half of them children.

[Michael Brice-Saddler @TheArtist_MBS]

New WaPo analysis shows half of D.C.'s Black residents live in areas with a shortage of primary care services — where rates of serious chronic conditions are more common.

DC has even more excess revenue than initially projected.

We need to implement our 2023 SNAP increase immediately — there is no excuse to ignore the law and let DC residents go hungry.

[missfalasteenia @missfalsteenia]

The real disaster is when this ends.

Out of 2 million people, 1.9 are HOMELESS in Gaza.

1.9 million people.
