Trump is trying to vacate every move towards sovereignty our city has ever made.

He's been giving our city the middle finger even more so than the entire USA.

I see this as her standing up for us and for black lives.

As much as the organization Black Lives Matter would like to own the phrase and even the movement, Black Lives Matter is bigger than them. They should be grateful for this and use this action to leverage more power.

Criticizing this move? Makes them look petty.

Link to where they criticized the move?

I don't know how to post a twitter post, but see here:

I’m for the protests but Bowser is an idiot. We’ve been calling to get crosswalks repainted in the neighborhood - lines can’t even be seen anymore - for over 2 years, but DC has done nothing. But then the mayor mobilizes an army of DPW workers to paint BLM all over 16th Street.

The smug occupant of the white house gave her the middle finger.

That is totally unrelated to (and higher priority than) your crosswalk complaint.

If you want the crosswalks repainted? Contact your ANC reps, councilmembers, etc.

What neighborhood? My neighborhood is constantly getting streets improved - to the point people complain. But its also on a major thoroughfare.

I am a NP but there is a missing crosswalk at 15th and I believe S Street- so one or two blocks from everything that happened on Swann street. I put in a request for a new crosswalk and it said it would take 270 business days to fix- so over a year. This is a pretty major pedestrian route and because there is no crosswalk cars block where the crosswalk should be and people have to walk in the street to get around them.

By the way I support this move by Bowser (although I agree it is only a step in the right direction) but I admit my second though on seeing this was "wow that must have been the fastest that DDOT has ever worked"

I pay taxes in DC and have no problem with this.

Sort of like calling to get equality and justice for 300+ years! I get it! I feel you!

It's something. Will it solve the problem of systemic racism? Of course not. But it's something.

I'd rather see painting than burning and looting. Art supplies for all!

No she’s auditioning for the role of vp. She could give two f s about you, she’s just a power hungry politician.

WHAT? She has never been in consideration for VP. She brings NOTHING to the table. 95% of DC will vote (D). DC politicians not only have no power, they have no where to go.

Look at the upside - doing so WILL finally stop the gentrification of DC!

White people will be building catapults to launch themselves out of the city in the absence of a police force.
