Yesterday, the five
Northern Virginia school districts heroically stood up to the harmful and hateful measures coming from the current administration, and in regards to Title IX and the treatment of it students, including those who are trasngender.

And, of course, the current administration has begun the process of cutting funding to these schools, as promised.

Hopefully these schools will soon provide information in regards to how the public can contribute funds to aid the schools, helping them -- among other things -- provide free breakfasts to so many that depend upon them (a great many, in my daughter's Alexandria City High School, I can attest).

Here's a glimpse of "the future" I must say I did not expect -- the public asking to help fund schools directly so that their students don't go hungry because of draconian moves of oppression by the U.S. Government.

Is this part of the "GREAT" that the MAGA deplorables have been so eager to see realized? That, presumably, most of the U.S. is giddy to see?

Years ago (long before kids, iirc we were still in Chicago then) partner and I went to Rockville and enjoyed Bob's Shanghai 66 (for Sichuan dishes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Lots of terrific options there and in #DMV I suppose, but I don't know if we'll make it to those.

So, I didn’t have the stomach to watch all of that, but the DC Metropolitan Police is now headed by US Attorney General Pam Bondi. That’s going to be, uh, interesting.

FYI for my friends outside the US (and probably a few in the US): the District of Columbia has a unique legal status within the US. It hasn’t got any independent power, just those the federal government has given to it. This makes taking away local government powers quite easy compared to anywhere else in the US. #dc #dmv

Good morning DMV! Our next Repair Cafe is THIS SATURDAY, Aug 16th! Doors open at 10:30am, and we'd love to see you there!

New to Repair Cafe? Bring a broken item or a question, and let's work together to figure it out. Repairs and consultations are free, and we have snacks to share.

PLEASE NOTE: We CAN do knife sharpening at this event after all. See next post for more details.

Feds working with MPD hit encampments and places where poor folks and brown folks congregate (including the wings place across New Hampshire Ave from the Petworth Metro station) across #WashingtonDC at midnight last night arresting and involuntarily hospitalizing residents because Trump wants them to. #DMV
