“Dear PoPville,
I am a resident in the Petworth neighborhood and my son attends EL Haynes. Yesterday morning, around 8:15 am, DC MPD and US Marshals appeared to be executing a warrant with extreme show of force two blocks from an Haynes with preschoolers on the playground. The effort appeared unsuccessful, and police took their time leaving the scene as families commuted to school and work. This show of force is unacceptable, a true lack of judgement and eroding trust in law enforcement that will take years to overcome.”

From the Sierra Club:
“The DC Council today approved legislation providing more than $1 billion in taxpayer subsidies to the billionaire owners of the Washington Commanders for a new stadium at the RFK site. Though Councilmember Charles Allen was able to secure some resources for transit improvements, a pause on a third parking garage, and energy efficiency standards for the stadium, the Sierra Club DC Chapter opposes the deal because it prioritizes a handout to wealthy team owners over protecting residents, the climate, and the Anacostia River.
