A D.C. Community Park Story

Hi all!

Thought I’d share something joyful in the middle of all the difficult news our city has been dealing with lately.

Several years ago, our community decided enough was enough with the state of our alley. What was once filled with abandoned cars, trash, illicit activity, overgrown weeds, mud, and potholes has been transformed through thousands of volunteer hours and generous financial support from neighbors and local nonprofits.

Together, we turned a neglected space into a community space with swings and toys for kids, a Little Free Library, native plant gardens, space for events like the annual Alleyween, and more.

It’s been incredibly heartwarming to see new faces every week enjoying the space and the sense of community that’s grown around it.

Enjoy and Happy Friday!

Rally organized by Michigan Families for Fair Care outside a gas station in Macomb County which is represented by Rep. John James who is supporting the war in Iran. Last year he cut Medicaid, SNAP, and clean energy tax credits to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Healthcare, utilities, rent, groceries, everything is getting more expensive.

Does anyone else find it gross how Tom Tiffany is trying to rebrand as moderate when he’s obviously still MAGA? Scott Pressler is a Stop the Steal activist.

  • One of the lawmakers is Rep. Jen Kiggans, a former Navy helicopter pilot who represents a coastal district in Virginia where an $11.5 billion wind farm is expected to create 1,000 jobs. Her support for an initiative targeted by Trump shows the scrambled politics of clean energy in an election year where Republicans are at risk of losing the House.
  • For now, the Virginia project is back on track, along with the other four, because of federal court rulings. But Elaine Luria, a former congresswoman who is seeking the Democratic nomination in the 2nd Congressional District represented by Kiggans, said the incumbent’s efforts have been futile in the face of Trump’s onslaught. “Her advocacy did nothing,” Luria said. Kiggans did not respond to requests for comment.
  • Kiggans voted in favor of Republican legislation to gut clean energy tax credits as part of Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill even though she has long portrayed herself as a champion of renewable energy. Democrats have turned the issue into campaign advertisements, and Luria said it undermines Kiggans’ attempt to “sell herself as if she’s a moderate.”
