@BrianneKNadeau More pandering nonsense, but smart to lay the groundwork for your post-Council nonprofit sinecure 👋!
(Who am I kidding, we’re gonna get someone more out of touch)
@maustermuhle@MayorBowser@CMRobertWhiteDC How to run for mayor in DC: 1) spout vapid jargon for your activist/nonprofit courtiers; 2) act as if DC is actually a state and in a position to make demands; 3) avoid any nuance - that would actually require hard work!
@BrianneKNadeau DC Council has no good answer for the Surge (wish they did, but then we wouldn’t be in this mess).
All of their posts sound like someone populated the crudest LLM imaginable with the most vapid slogans from 2017-2020.
@charlesallen Remember when hundreds of your constituents witnessed a mass shooting/murder and your first instinct was to use therapy language to describe the shooter? I don’t like the takeover either but you all set the table for it.
@ZacharyforWard5 From a resident: it’s absolutely shocking (🙄) that the Council’s years-long approach of “centering” the least productive and most disruptive people in the city while actively making life worse for normies left a vacuum that was filled by ::gestures:: this.
In DC, some ride dirt bikes and ATVs on public roads as a creative outlet. Dirt bike culture, safety, and law enforcement have a complex intersection: https://t.co/on0QvhqbRq
@wanyeburkett Reported crime may be lower (from 25 year highs) but it’s also about quality of life issues, which both sides talk past in their own way. The left says “crime’s low wtf’” and the right says “crime” when they mean crime + general disorder/QoL stuff, which should be addressed.
@ZacharyforWard5 Guys the roving groups of youth in masks and hoodies in the middle of summer aren’t real. You just imagined them. And if they are real, it’s great that they’re covid-conscious.
@SegravesNBC4@councilofdc@Commanders@nbcwashington Aw, the Council’s little power trip is over. They can go back to their regularly scheduled program of e-bike subsidies, vague gestures toward “equity,” and giving away our tax dollars to nonprofits with zero KPIs attached. Nature is healing.
