We're listening to the press conference on the fate of House Bill 68. The governor is explaining that he listened to families speak about the real lived experiences of Transgender youth and the need for gender-affirming care. The bill is vetoed!

M1s at Pritzker have been making their voices heard locally and nationally with an impressive series of op-eds on a range of issues. See how our students are using their voices as advocates: pritzker.uchicago.edu/news/p…

Redistricting drama in D.C.! OK, maybe not drama. But: ANC 6A has submitted an alternate map it says does a better job keeping Ward 6 neighborhoods together. In short: Navy Yard and Southwest would go to Ward 8, Hill East stays in Ward 6, & Ward 6 takes back Kingman Park/Res 13.

It’s important to know the politics of the supposedly neutral observers of our world, so it’s worth noting that the New York Times has chosen refusing to update the bylines of trans people as its hill to die on
We made some progress with management during our bargaining session yesterday, but there is one big sticking point: Our demand that @nytimes use our trans journalists's correct names on past and current bylines.

Don't forget "saving Afghan women" was a justification for the US War on Terror. It was used by both the right and some on the left. Remember those women now. We can help them by accepting and supporting refugees and Afghan communities.

U.S. Senators: The District is angry! Grant us #DCStatehood immediately or we will soon bring forth from the earth a multitude of giant, wailing, ungainly insects to fly through the air, swarm on your sidewalks, and get stuck in your hair! Heed our warning!

Today is Equal Pay Day, the day that, on average, a woman will finally earn what a man did in 2020. And when you break it down by race: • Black Equal Pay Day: AUGUST 3RD. • Indigenous Equal Pay Day: SEPTEMBER 8TH. • Latina Equal Pay Day: OCTOBER 21ST. RUN. US. OUR. MONEY.

THREAD/ Since 'Columbia Heights' is uh, trending nationally, this seems like a good time to talk about Columbia Heights the neighborhood - its history, and how it's situated in the context of neighborhood change and gentrification in DC
