New @dcogc board member @kevinok.bsky.social has filed an important case on behalf of @freedom.press efforts to get ICE to respond to public records requests via #foia.
If ICE is too busy stalking daycare pickups to read their emails from Congress, they should really be thanking Lauren for FOIAing them
Our attorney @kevinok.bsky.social is spot on: “ICE will find hiding from FOIA harder than simply pulling on their balaclavas, which tend to be frowned on in court.”

Many news orgs are "all-in" on AI, fearful of repeating the errors of the early digital era, but what if the real risk lies in handing chunks of our business, our civic function, and our values to a handful of hyperscalers? @alixdunn.com prodded me to think that through with her for @themaybe.org

Absolutely love this. I'll also add Willie has competition at Fort Totten transfer station in DC! Drop off trash, metal scraps, and recycling; pick up compost, and have your day brightened by a warm, funny, and helpful team!
At a time when only 31 percent of us feel engaged at work, we could all learn from Willie Shanks. He earns just $38k running the local dump. But he loves his work and has become a local celebrity for turning the dump into a community hub. Gift link. wapo.st/47L8iE0
Column | The guy who runs the dump knows the secret to finding meaning at work
Willie Shanks has turned a refuse and recycling center into a place where people come to hang out and laugh, even when they don’t have trash to drop off.

Reminder: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ran on reforming mayoral control of schools and sharing power with the community. Time for DC to follow their lead. @empowereddc.bsky.social has a plan.
The city’s $40 billion K-12 public education system has been under mayoral control since 2002. Mamdani wants to end that.

Physician Lauren Hughes was driving when another car T-boned her Subaru, totaling it and breaking her ankle.
Then the bills came: $63,976.35 in total because her insurance deemed her hospital stay not medically necessary.

This doctor broke her ankle in a car accident. The hospital kept her overnight, but her insurer stopped paying after she left the emergency room.

NEW: We just filed a lawsuit alongside 25 states to restore SNAP food assistance during the federal shutdown.
141,000 DC residents rely on SNAP to afford their meals — including 47,000 children and 24,000 seniors.
We will do everything in our power to prevent DC families from going hungry.
