Attiah, who worked at the Post for 11 years as an editor and opinion writer, announced Monday she would not return due to a lack of “guaranteed freedom and institutional support” within the Post newsroom. Attiah sued for wrongful termination after she was fired for writing that America “accepts and worships gun violence” and posted a quote from Kirk in which he said a number of prominent Black women didn’t have the “brain processing power” to be taken seriously.

“I have decided not to return to what The Washington Post has become. I have accepted a settlement with the Post and will move forward with my life and career,” Attiah wrote in a post to Substack on Monday. “As excruciating as this battle has been, it was one worth fighting.”

I was wondering why there was a sudden uptick in NG downtown over the last couple days…

Damn. Has it been that long?

Judge needs to start holding everybody and their dog in contempt, and sending law enforcement out there to actually stop the demolition. I'm willing to bet the workers will turn off their machines and leave if threatened with arrest.

Fuck. This. Guy.

I can’t find anything online, but there’s gotta be some interesting history here.

Who designed them and when?

Was the lock and glans-nozzle part of the original look?

Was it a county-level thing or the DNR that installed them?

This is just cool

construction crew shows up before then, arrest them.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced in May that Fazio Design would redesign the East Potomac Golf Links. In June, President Donald Trump was photographed looking at plans that appeared to show the course expanding across much of the peninsula. He said after his June visit that the renovated course would be able to host major golf tournaments.

First St tunnel closure late October; WTOP says VRE affected also.

Last fall, after the killing of Kirk, Attiah published a series of online posts in which she suggested she would not mourn the death of Kirk, which the Post argued hurt the company’s reputation and integrity.

In 2016, the music died at D.C.’s iconic Carter Barron Amphitheater in Rock Creek Park when the venue’s stage was deemed unsafe.

Now, music is returning to the historic venue, as organizers bring it back to life for three nights starting Thursday with the help of a temporary stage and some familiar local performers.

....

While the return is temporary, Puskar said the effort is about reminding people why the venue matters and to build support for a larger restoration effort being developed with the National Park Service.

Huh. This sort of thing hadn’t even occurred to me. (Article contains pics of various things covered/boarded up at the NGA.)

A man who was pardoned for rioting on Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol was found guilty Wednesday of touching a woman’s hair on the Metro while filming it and posting that video on social media.

Judge Epstein will sentence Betancur on Thursday at 2 p.m. The maximum sentence for simple assault, a misdemeanor, is 180 days of incarceration.

It will not be the end of Betancur’s legal troubles, however. He faces an assault charge in Arlington for a similar incident on the Metro there. Betancur is also facing stalking charges in D.C.
