DC resident & former DCPS parent who started educationdc.net in 2015 because there was too little media coverage of public education issues in DC--and lots of right-wing ed reform propaganda about the same.
@vjablow.bsky.socialIt may be because--per @nytimes.com--we cannot speak such "inflammatory" things like a president literally siccing the police on his political opponents.
@vjablow.bsky.socialYeah.
@vjablow.bsky.socialHey, how about a little praise for the sturdy washing machines that handle that underwear?
@vjablow.bsky.socialMark, thank you for doing this. It was heroic of you.
FWIW @nytimes.com seems to have a history of sanewashing.
@vjablow.bsky.socialIncredible thread and interview.
Unbelievably, staffer for @nytimes.com admitted that even if using an "inflammatory" term about the president is actually truthful, @nytimes.com will not use that term.
(Welcome to the "sparing people's feelings about an American dictator" stage of major media.)
@vjablow.bsky.socialYes. I have long maintained that I could go to my local [fill in the blank] store and within 2 minutes find any number of employees who would work harder and more honestly than 90% of Congress--and would easily be better than anyone in the current administration.
@vjablow.bsky.socialBody parts lower than his mouth probably are a better metaphor . . .
@vjablow.bsky.socialYes. While claiming DC is terrible (& working for people who want to destroy it), folks not from DC have been in droves bringing their Texas, Alabama, Michigan, North Carolina, Arkansas, South Carolina-plated vehicles to Capitol Hill, getting residential parking permits, & staying.
@vjablow.bsky.socialThis isn't entirely correct--the last phrase is supposed to be "until you die at an earlier age than your grandparents."

@vjablow.bsky.socialYes. This outlet was started in the wake of the Post deciding that actual journalism wasn't its thing, esp for local DC reporting. But the Sun cannot escape this part of its being: "We’ve got the financial backing of Robert Allbritton, the founding publisher of POLITICO."
@agrrl.bsky.socialReposted by @vjablow.bsky.socialGood God. “Advocates say”?!?!?! You are supposed to be JOURNALISTS. YOU should be concerned, not feeding us an imbalanced “both sides” as though one is just a small group of people rather than literally most people. Delete your account.
@vjablow.bsky.socialYes.
@michellechap76.bsky.socialReposted by @vjablow.bsky.socialDC folks, report National Guard sightings at ballot boxes to 866-OUR-VOTE. They are supposed to stay 50 feet away #FreeDC
@vjablow.bsky.socialAgain!
Perhaps the judges in DC's case need pictures of this voter intimidation, @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social
@vjablow.bsky.socialWow--essential reading.
@vjablow.bsky.socialYes. They indeed want all the marbles, but like bullies everywhere, they don't want to play fairly because they will never win that way, so they just inflict pain & cruelty to get the marbles.
@vjablow.bsky.socialThis would not be surprising to anyone if the Epstein files were released in their entirety.
@vjablow.bsky.socialMaybe he misses making and viewing similar videos (albeit with human beings only)?
@vjablow.bsky.socialOh hello, @univofmaryland.bsky.social: You may want to get on with reviewing your expulsion rules.
