The Democratic Party:

Here's the resolution itself. Is it LLM nonsense or just normal nonsense? 🤷

I'll take it

if I misunderstood that exchange I'll retract and just delete, my b, but it seems like only the Post posted that night, which prompted the follow up from MPD

(sorry hit reply to the other one but it's replying to this one, but I'm referring to the 6/3 11:15am)

That's the morning after we had that exchange :/

Whether you consider yourself a community journalist or not, it certainly seems like you are -- and you have a broad reach to a local crowd. This was about giving a time sensitive public message and disclosure.

I just wanna say as a retrospective that you have direct comms to me and others. I can do far more valid documentation than your average poster sending you grainy photos of a note on a window. It's disappointing that only the Washington Post, whom I didn't even tag, broke this story and followed up.

Only ANCs seemed to want to fight about it (not like they have any formal power here). Amusingly and depressingly, I kinda wonder if this breaks the oft-broken rules about noticing intent of actions to ANCs from exec agencies (probably not, I think "public safety" is exempt).

I don't doubt others are to blame, but MPD's Chief Smith made the request, Mayor Bowser sits above her and failed to provide any support for the circle afterwards, NPS + USPP kept the circle closed after the MPD request was rescinded, and no one, including Council, communicated outwards.

I tagged some of them (I hope washprobs sees my post), but I have publicly provided what feels like sufficiently damning documentation here.

it's true but MPD also
A. seems to have formally started the mess
B. did not communicate what they did to other government stakeholders or the general public
C. rescinded only at the 11th hour, once it was made public, and with a sort of wink and nod like "we just don't want people to be mad"

sorry it didn't let me upload all 8 at once and I don't fully understand why (it let me select them and didn't tell me it only uploaded 4)

Thoughts: it fucking sucks.

Attaching the complete determination below.
