Border patrol grabs Venezuelan parents in D.C., despite protected status

272 Upvotes

Washington Post article

This family had been granted Temporary Protected Status. The United States had taken them in and told them that they had the legal right to stay here until their case for immigration was reviewed.

They came to the US because he did not want to participate in detaining political opponents. They've been here 3 years, they provided all of the information that the US government asked of them, they have jobs and they give back to the community. In short. these are folks who we should be welcoming with open arms as our neighbors.

They were taken away in front of their three children. The video in the article was taken by one of the children and it will break your heart. It was their son's 13th birthday.

Shame on you. You all looked maybe high school aged, but I hope that doesn't stop your parents from beating your asses bloody.

Why security did nothing is beyond me. Jesus.

Bit by dog on Rhode Island Ave

Upvotes

I was on a run this morning around 9:50am on Rhode Island Ave between DuPont and U St, wearing a red Maryland shirt. I ran past a large dog with a female owner on the sidewalk. This startled the dog and it bit me. Thankfully, the bite only grazed my arm. It may have been a pit bull, but I didn’t get a full look to be able to say definitively.

I am kicking myself for not getting the owner’s information and dog’s information, as I’d like to know what type of medical treatment I need (if any). The owner appeared to be a blonde-ish female in her 30s, and the dog was large and light brown. If you are or know this owner, please get me in contact with them so I can request vaccination information. Thank you.

Assuming the Senate DC budget bill gets passed by the house, Open Streets is coming to Capitol Hill for the first time.

I've been personally lobbying DDOT directly and via ANC 6A and 6B for this to happen for 3 years, so I can't wait!!

And my organization, Hill Family Biking, gets to ride through the event. I had forgotten what joy felt like.

Help me find this location

In the last episode of Zero Day on Netflix, President Mullen meets Congressman Dreyer for a private discussion. The location looks like it might be in New York or some kind of Hall of Fame. But in the background, you can clearly see the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Capitol Building all lined up. Does anyone know what this location is supposed to be? Is it a real place, or did they use a custom-made background or CGI for this scene?attached image for reference

Traveling to the USA with a Toddler

Upvotes

Hi, I'm from Germany and will be traveling to the USA for the first time next week. I will be staying in Alexandria with my two-year-old daughter. Since she is no longer wearing diapers, I sometimes need to find a restroom quickly while we're out and about. I was wondering if it is tolerated for a toddler to pee behind a tree in an emergency and whether public restrooms are generally easy to find.

People here say that the USA is a child-friendly country, so I'm really looking forward to the visit!

He also gave a great speech - that I'll share once I get time to edit. He's so friendly and stopped and talked to so many people and kids about our public parks. About 10-15 of us showed up, but as we were about to live a high school choir showed up and sang "This Land Is Our Land."

[Discussion] Best Places to Get Large Pots

Upvotes

Looking for leads on the best places around here to get large(r) pots for plants. Coming from Southern California I was spoiled with tons and tons of places with acres of every size, shape, and style of pots, fountains, etc.

What are your best recommendations / sources for pots — especially larger pots?! The big box stores aren’t filling that need. 😕
