Let us honor all American veterans today, but with a particular thought towards veterans in the District, who fight to defend a democratic right that is denied to them, in wars they pay for with their taxes, having had no vote in Congress on either

On this date in 1999, @EPA scapped plans to move into part of the Wilson Bldg, ensuring the building would remain 100% DC-occupied. This pic shows how the fed/DC partitions would've looked. The late Mark Plotkin was a tireless crusader in this fight wapo.st/2m9MUoe

Born on this date in 1731: Benjamin Banneker. He played a key role in surveying the original boundaries of the District of Columbia. (The good, pre-retrocession boundaries, just to be clear.)
