Please help, @311DCgov. Tree still down across the 400 block of 9th St NE blocking the road and covering my car. Service Request Creation email says itโll be resolved by Sept. 14th, but the road is impassable, my car canโt be moved, and branches are on sidewalk, too. Thank you.
Apparently this case keeps getting closed because multiple people have entered it, @311DCgov. The tree remains in top of my vehicle and I cannot move the tree or my car. Please help. Thank you!

Another Black woman was senselessly killed at the hands of police. As a result of calling 911 for help, Sonya Massey was fatally shot in her own home.
We won't let the deaths of Black people continue to be swept under the rug. Sonya Massey deserves justice. #SayHerName
Sonya Masseyโs family says she is a descendant of William Donnegan, who was lynched by a white mob during violent racist attacks that led to the creation of the NAACP.
Massey was taken to the same hospital as her ancestor Donnegan, the family said

Lily Gladstone on being the first Native American to be #Oscar-nominated for Best Actress.
โWhy am I the first? Why did it have to take this long for me to be the first Indigenous North American? Most of the films that show up in these categories are shot on Indigenous land in North America, and itโs taken this long.โ

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The first Indigenous North American to be nominated was Yalitza Aparicio for ROMA.

I see that #PeteButtigieg is trending, and click to see why. Heโs provided a calm, cool, collected, effective response to violent homophobic speech.
Donโt get me wrong, @PeteButtigieg deserves the respect and commendation.
But please, consider, what if he wasnโt calm? ๐งต
Would you think that someone in public service ought to behave better? Would he be too out, too proud, too gay, too loud?

"If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up - lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well."

Iโve said it before and Iโll say it again.
It is unethical for any medical provider to deny treatment to a patient because of religious or moral beliefs. Medicine should be patient centered. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. #MedTwitter pnj.com/story/news/politics/โฆ

This morning, my preschooler told our dog: โPerhaps, Stella, youโre the best dog in the whole wide world.โ
I said I want to write that down, and they said: โCan you send that to the president? Write down her name.โ So, @POTUS: โStella is the goodest dog in the whole wide world.โ
