@JayMack2500 @alanhenney I almost wish I were drinking a beverage when I read this; twitter-induced spit takes are quite rare.

Do you know who else didn't have children of their own? George Washington and Jesus. JD Vance needs less eyeliner and more common sense and empathy.

An interesting question, can you actively protest your employers business practices while on the job and expect to still collect a paycheck?

@DaveStroup I think even more shocking is the fact that in 2012, DC's annual budget was just $8 Billion. The city's budget has more than doubled in 12 years, increasing more than a $1 Billion a year. DC's population in 2012 was 635k compared to 678k in 2024, a net increase of 43k residents.

Empty (insert item name, but in this case) #detergent shelves at the local store; but you can fool your friends and family into thinking you did laundry by using some #snuggle air freshener. #postpandemiclife

No doubt. I was so confused when I was in Atlanta a few weeks ago.

Ralph Yarl, age 16, knocked on the wrong door in Missouri and was shot.

He went to the door at the wrong home to pick up his younger twin brother and that’s when he was shot, according to police.

CBS affiliate KCTV reports: “The correct address Yarl was attempting to go to was a block away. According to the victim’s Aunt, Faith Spoonmore, the homeowner opened his door and then opened fire on Yarl. The man, whose identity has not been released yet, allegedly took a second shot at Yarl, hitting him in the head again.”

According to KSHB TV: “Yarl was shot by a homeowner after mistakenly arriving at the wrong address — 1100 block of Northeast 115th Street instead of 1100 block of Northeast 115th Terrace.”

The shooting happened April 13th.

The shooter was held by police for 24 hours, pending investigation, but then released.

“I want everyone to know that I am listening,” Kansas City police chief Stacy Graves said at a news conference at Kansas City police headquarters downtown, “and I understand the concern we are receiving from the community.”

“Yarl is the utmost example of how you want a young man to carry himself in this world,” said one of the teen’s longtime teachers to the Kansas City Star. Meara Mitchell, a teacher of Yarl’s for several years, called his shooting “incomprehensible.” She described him Sunday as a “stellar human-being” with a “quiet fortitude.”

KCTV 5 adds: “Yarl is a section leader in his school’s marching band and is said to be a top-base clarinet player in the state of Missouri.”

@NW_Realist @MayorBowser @councilofdc I find it laughable to think that increasing taxes on gas and cigarettes would result in increased revenue; especially when MD and VA are only 4 miles away, in any direction.

Black males make up about 1.3% of all K-12 teachers in America. Not only did this teacher lose his life; this senseless killing deprived countless students of the benefit of his presence in the classroom; not just students of color.

When Brice Djembissi, a Prince George’s teacher, drove into the middle of a gunfight in Southeast DC, bullets hit him and a man and woman walking on the street. They survived. Djembissi, an immigrant from Cameroon, died of his injuries six days later.

It's February, it's 80° in DC, so you decide to work through lunch so you can take your electric bike out for the first ride of the year. You fish out some shorts, get your helmet on, pull the bike out of the garage. Then you realize the bike isn't charged cause it's February. 🤬
