@WTOPtraffic 295 south bound traffic is completely blocked due to crash just beyond 195 junction.

Hey @Amtrak! This was seen on train 66 yesterday from Roanoke to Boston. A space set aside for passengers with disabilities was cluttered with storage boxes from the cafe. We need you to be better. #AccessibleTransit

I didn’t have agreeing with Matt Gaetz on my 2023 bingo card but here we are #shutdown

[Liz Elkind @liz_elkind]

MATT GAETZ pins shutdown on McCarthy: “We will have a government shutdown and it is absolutely Speaker McCarthy's fault. We cannot blame Joe Biden for not having moved our individual spending bills. We cannot blame House Democrats. We can't even blame Chuck Schumer in the Senate”

Show me a single mayor or governor in the US with this mentality. I’ll wait…

[Mike Lydon (mikelydon.bsky.social) @MikeLydon]

“It’s not my duty as mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it’s the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you’re going to put them."

This is just another example of @MetroTransitPD sanctioned violence against victimless crimes. When will @wmata learn? We must do better. #NoJusticeNoPeace https://t.co/3dQti05dBx

Hey @ZachANC5A09! What’s up with the trailer at the corner of SD Ave and Riggs Rd in front of @foodandfriends? Is this finally some movement on using the space as a park or just more construction staging?

[Tyler Witman @witmanedu]

When we talk about #EnvironmentalJustice, this has to be part of the conversation.

When will the @EPA, @NatlParkService, and @wmata take accountability for the #toxicdump that happened here?

[Tyler Witman @witmanedu]

@markhlyon @311DCgov Hey @CMBrookePinto and @MShankle! Can you take a look into this? It seems the management of the @centralunion shelter is the cause?

[Tyler Witman @witmanedu]

@theresejones0 @ZachANC5A09 I think the plants you’re referring to at the top of the picture are actually on price property, aren’t they? If so, I don’t think there’d be much traction in removing them.

[Tyler Witman @witmanedu]

While I love the community that I’ve connected with here on Twitter, the continual degradation of its accessibility is becoming a real deterrent. We must #SaveA11yBots!

[Paste Magazine @PasteMagazine]

Elon Musk's continually moving goalpost on charging for Twitter API access threatens the existence of accessibility bots such as those utilized by blind users. https://t.co/1qCtQ8ZbMV

@LibraAbsolut @wmata They’re investigating undetonated explosives from WWI found in the adjacent park https://t.co/meQoKuB7zo

[Councilmember Zachary Parker @CMZParker5]

We are in touch with National Park Service (NPS) and MPD 4th District about two metal canisters found in Fort Totten Park containing explosive devises. NPS and MPD are examining the containers, and neighbors are encouraged to stay away from the area.

[Tyler Witman @witmanedu]

@TanyaHutchins Could be related to this? https://t.co/ncMZN8J05H

[FOX 5 DC @fox5dc]

A National Park Service employee found two metal canisters in a mound of soil in Fort Totten Park. Out of an abundance of caution and until more research can be completed, the park is closed just east of Fort Totten Drive, south of Gallatin Street, and north of Brookland Ave NE/Farragut St.

@matt3470 @DCPoliceTraffic @DCPoliceDept Hey @CMBrookePinto! What’s going on here in your ward? We need safe streets! What happened to @DCVisionZero?

[Tyler Witman @witmanedu]

Adding even more inclusivity, @TheSims has added binders and top surgery scars for #trans representation. Loving the #LGBT love! #inclusivegaming

[Tyler Witman @witmanedu]

It’s always great to see video games making representation more possible. @TheSims has added glucose monitors and hearing aides available for customization, allowing #peoplewithdisabilities to finally see themselves in this simulation game. #DisabilityInclusion

Using a calculator isn’t cheating.

Using spellcheck isn’t cheating.

Using Google isn’t cheating.

Using audiobooks isn’t cheating.

Using #ChatGPT isn’t cheating.

Let’s stop trying to catch kids cheating and start creating authentic assignments they won’t want to cheat on.
