For the 2nd year in a row, #treebybike was really #treebybikeshare - the whole round trip was done in 47 minutes, and a 7’ tree provides a natural buffer from cars! 😊 Thanks @bikeshare.bsky.social! #bikedc 🎄🚲
Three red Capital Bikeshare bikes in a dock. The middle one has a Christmas tree bungeed to its front rack. A Capital Bikeshare bike (from the rider’s perspective) stopped at a crosswalk. There is a Christmas tree bungeed to the front rack of the bike and a mittened hand on the left handlebar. A Capital Bikeshare dock under an overpass. In the foreground is a red bike with a Christmas tree bungeed to its front rack (with the cut end closest to the camera), and in the distance is the US Capitol.

Saw it in real life too:
Four posters that have been wheatpasted on a wall in NW DC that say “Take off your masks!” and “Why are you hiding your face? Public servants should face the public.”

Yep took this pic of one of those flyers in SE DC yesterday:
Yellow sign with black text hanging on a wall. The sign says: “Have you been added to a Nazi/MAGA group chat? We pay cash for screenshots screenshot.gop Verifiable scandals, racist rants, and sexist tirades all accepted. The worse the better!”

Jeremy Peters said this on The Daily on Sept. 19th and no one corrected it:
Partial transcript from the 9/19/2025 episode of The Daily podcast from the NYTimes: “Jeremy Peters So before the 2020 election, you had COVID as the major issue of contention, information that the Biden administration said was inaccurate about vaccines, about the origin of the virus and how deadly it was. And the Biden administration asked Twitter and other companies to take posts down, which they did. Conservatives were furious about that and have held congressional hearings and called for investigations into that. Then you had the censorship of a story about Hunter Biden's laptop, which you will probably remember, it fell into the hands of conservative activists, including Steve Bannon. And it contained some quite unflattering images and information about the former president's son. And it did not reflect well on the Biden family in general. The social media companies pulled stories about the laptop from appearing on their sites.”

Also fired a disabled Navy veteran from EPA - news.wttw.com/2025/02/18/f...
A former EPA enforcement investigator and Navy veteran, who asked not to be named due to fear of retaliation, said they received a phone call from their supervisor Saturday morning that they had been laid off from their job the night before. The former employee said they were let go because of "inadequate performance" despite having received "exceptional" performance reviews from supervisors. The employee, who had been with the EPA since the summer, had moved their entire family to Chicago for the job. "I'm a disabled vet and the only thing I ever asked for from this country was this job, and they took it," said the former EPA employee, who fought back tears. "I made all the money for my family. We don't know what we're going to do."
