Thread on AMERICAN concentration camps. Right now.
American commanders liberating Nazi concentration camps in WW2 noted that *German citizens had elected the people responsible for the camps and thereby were responsible themselves for the atrocities committed therein in their names.*

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

#TranspoBingo is finally here! I'll be trying to 🧵 my adventures here, starting with today's chilly commute! I biked from NE to SW, taking it slow and taking the lane where I could after K St since the PBLs are in a melt freeze cycle rn. If you bike this week, take the lane + take care!

Why Can’t D.C.—Or Anywhere Else—Remove Snow?

The car free life is sweet! Got rid of it in 2024 and never looked back! We live 3 blocks away from the metro and have the amazing MBT, so we bike and transit everywhere!
36% of DC households don't have a car—the highest rate of any major county outside NYC
Those car-free households are concentrated near metro stops, especially between Dupont, Foggy Bottom, & McPherson. Green line stops like Columbia Heights, Navy Yard, & Anacostia also stand out

I have tried to not bitch much about the snow situation in DC; it was an unusual storm. Yet, (a) we get snow storms here, (b) we knew it was coming, (c) it's been 10 days since it snowed. *Still* not knowing the answer to "who clears the bridges?" means we don't have a functioning executive.
We escalated Franklin yesterday. DDOT is now denying that it’s their responsibility, so folks can email/call the city administrator. dc.gov/agency/offic...

It won't be terribly cold tonight, especially compared to the last couple weeks, but it'll get just cold enough for this runoff from a water main break near Franklin Bridge to turn the Met Branch from the 8th Street ramp to City State into an ice sheet.
#bikeDC strongly consider an alternate route.

Hey #BikeDC, as of 9pm there's a water main break or something on the MBT behind City State, basically converting the trail to a stream. Not passable. I called @dcwater.bsky.social to report it, but I had to tell them the trail is DDOT, not DPR. Who else do I loop in to get this elevated?
