Exactly. Money talks, bullshit walks. Until we get REPARATIONS there’s nothing to say.

The city hasn't given two sh*ts about black lives for the past 50 years. It's going to take much more than big yellow letters, a street sign, and excited white liberals for real change to occur.


Thank you for admitting the failure of Home Rule and the Barry dynasty.

Such a hack move. If Trump had done something similar, the media would be laughing at it.

You don't even live here, STFU

You might like what she did here, but how would you feel if a mayor or governor had “Abortion stops a beating” painted in huge letters and renamed a street section “Prolife Plaza” in response to a pro-life protest?

Just because you agree with the message today does not make this a good idea.


You're asking if politicians should not be political? So weird.

Muriel Bowser is the queen of empty platitudes, no wonder she was the brain trust behind this decision (though the message is important).

Is it a good idea for the mayor of DC to send the message to the federal government that she's in charge of DC, not them? Yes, it is.

The federal government's actions in the last week or two should really help the cause of DC statehood, I hope.

"Help."

Like Putin's little green men "helped" in Crimea.

As they leave the city in droves if the crime rate even slightly increases. I hope to be proven wrong.....
