@MsPackyetti When you about that gunplay, the guns will play. Deon made a bad choice and had to pay for it with his life. I donโt believe he needed to die, but he put himself in a high risk environment. At some point, even us activists, we have to hold each other accountable. SE DC is no joke
@iheartmindy@jemelehill Jemele is usually on point with her critiques. This one is off. But you, on the other hand, are looking for a weak opportunity to justify blackface and other forms of racist gestures common to the US, and some European allies. Please stop.
@jemelehill Jamaican here. HBCU grad. Constant carnival attendee. This isnโt that deep. We have to stop projecting American trauma onto international experiences. Carnival is an event for all races to endorse, and Jamaicans know Adele is a BIG Jamaica fan and has ties to the island.
hi @sweetgreen - what would it take to get a sweetgreen built in ward 7 or ward 8? I spend a lot of money/time commuting to locations across the river and would rather have a healthy option in my own neighborhood.
@rianalynn@Grubhub@Seamless@DoorDash@washingtonpost Here I am, wks later. They only offer selective delivery windows. Drivers don't walk to the door. I had an issue with food quality and spent hours trying to get a refund and even offered to send the food back. Customer service was nonchalant.
I've resided in Ward 7 since 2014 and have had issues getting food delivered from companies such as @Grubhub@Seamless@DoorDash and others. Only now are they paying attention with this recent article written by the @washingtonpost but it's sad that it took all of that.
For neighborhoods of color it seems the answer is always to cause an upheaval on social media or have a company blasted online before they pay attention. It's a shame honestly. Do better.
Please also make sure to always question whether you all want to be right or effective @HUResist - there is a case to be made for doing either but err towards being effective in your demands/requests/ask for feedback.
@HUResist The only thing I'll ask/advise as an alum is do you want to be effective or be right? Please consider that as you all continue to move forward with this effort. It's admirable what you all have done, just make sure it's not all in vain.
@MayorBowser was there any consideration given to the formerly incarcerated in your #Amazon HQ2 proposal? I see incentives provided for hiring veterans but nothing for any other population. Hmmm.
