We just WON the #AdamsMorganPlaza case appeal at 1800 Columbia Rd NW. The Court of Appeals just sent it to the lower court to be heard by a jury!
THANK YOU all who helped uplift the extraordinary history of our special neighborhood these last 6 years. scribd.com/document/61589598…

New @washingtonpost:
I tried to read all my app privacy policies. It was 1 million words!
It’s too hard to keep up with digital privacy, and it’s not your fault.
So let’s abolish privacy policies.
Here’s some good ideas to give us real privacy choices: wapo.st/3t6B7He

On Saturday, we mourned the loss of a community member. Miguel Gonzales, a kind and bright light, who loved football and basketball died on March 29th clutching the blue concrete bench outside of the Plaza after being evicted from the area without his sleeping bag and tent.

Andrew Brown Jr. is being laid to rest in North Carolina:
"For the Black folks, White folks, Democrats and Republicans, all watching today, they all need to know that we are tired. We're tired of the cycle of grief that comes along with being Black in this country."

DC is ramping up evictions (aka "full engagements") of homeless encampments starting tomorrow. This is inhumane, costly, does nothing to end homelessness, & is at odds w/ CDC guidance.
Harassing encampment residents does not end homelessness, housing does.

To: new high school grads and incoming college students: Your academic record got you into college. Now, ignore everything and everyone who will try to show you how to evade serious study while stockpiling accolades. If you’re a reader, keep it up. Ignore finesse. It’s poison.

Some people consider the practice of love and compassion is only related to religious practice and if they are not interested in religion they neglect these inner values. But love and compassion are qualities that human beings require just to live together.
