The main problems at this time: Council, USAO and DC Superior Court judges. Pinto's bill passing as written is a step in the right direction. Even if your CM is JLG, Nadeau, Allen or Frumin, still, send an email and urge your friends and neighbors to do so.

Also, what's the status on DC's crime lab being recertified?

DC is in absolute chaos! Over 200 homicides and counting, and what’s the government doing about it? Seems like it's just the cronies and the criminals running the show now!

We seriously need to get the feds in here to disband this so-called government—it's practically a club of cronies letting their buddies run wild. It’s like the same criminals are voting themselves into DC government. This isn’t democracy; it’s a disaster!

Let’s get real, our capital deserves better! It’s time for a total reset, maybe get the National Guard in, and let’s build a government that’s actually for the people! Before we know it, the whole city will turn into a lawless zone if we don’t act now!

I would still send an email to her, Mendelson and 3 at large members. Otherwise the only voice they hear is from activists. The way that the Council is structured, wholesale change is not possible. Plus, moderates would have to run and be electable and not have the vote split so many ways that the incumbent gets in again. We can't wait that long. At least document your dissent.

My councilmember is Nadeau. She does.not.care what I think. There's no point in reaching out to her. Is there any point to reaching out to any other members of the current council... or do we just need ranked choice voting to get sensible moderates into office.

Bullets hit a kindergarten classroom today.

Old enough to remember when Dupont was fairly safe, when crime was lower during school hours and DC had a more active anti-truancy policy.

Well they view everyone according to the color of someone's skin ( and not the content of their character) and try to cancel any biological female that believes Trans women shouldn't be in women's competitive sports - so yeah Progressives are the haters.

Way to rationalize being a bigot and misogynist.

The Canada Goose outerwear armed robberies have started up. Even in broad daylight. May want to consider wearing, having teens wear, something more generic.

I wonder how intense the hysteria will be on November 6th.

All of this happening in broad daylight is so scary. The Hill seems less and less safe, but, true of downtown, Ward 3, etc., too.

No, they aren't. People hate POS conservatives because they are racist and misogynistic.

They absolutely are. Almost all of progressives are racist and misogynist.
Not much of a critical thinking are you. Sad.

Conservatives are trying to take away women’s rights all over the country. They are also trying to hurt LGBTQ people. They are POSs.

I’m a conservative and I’m doing neither and generally supported the compromise of RvW. As far as LGBTQ rights, it is a mixed bag. Trans athletes are a basic assault on biological truth. Don’t tell me I’m seeing blue when it’s obvious what I’m looking at is red.

Sometimes I think DC is a eugenics cult with a bunch of good PR and deflecting narratives. While most other large cities have declining homicide rates, even BALTIMORE, DC is gunning it (pun intended) in the WRONG direction. If you don't get distracted by the words, the outcomes are quite stark.
