I stopped posting here after one of my (now-former) colleagues was doxxed by white nationalists for writing a story that featured an interracial couple but just to close some loops: I’ve been laid off by the Washington Post. You can find me on the other apps. 101K views · 678 likes · 81 reposts · 136 replies Open on X →

The family of Sam Lilley, one of the American Airlines pilots who died in the crash, raised similar concerns, saying waivers allowed for military flights make the bill "a 'window dressing' fix" with "the same vulnerabilities that have already cost too many people their lives" 3.3K views · 17 likes · 6 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Good news for Metro — Nick Donohue, who led the DMVmoves meetings that came up with a plan for dedicated, inflation-adjusted WMATA funding that DC/MD/VA now have to approve, will be Secretary of Transportation in the Spanberger administration 8.7K views · 154 likes · 9 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
