Fighting antisemitism by demanding universities name the Jews
Fed. judge holds that Penn must disclose to the Trump administration the contact information of employees in Jewish-related campus orgs. and the Jewish Studies Program and participants in antisemitism listening sessions.

![Even if the subpoena seeks protected information, the EEOC is “justified” in accessing it based on a “balancing of [the] competing interests.” Westinghouse Elec. Corp., 638 F.2d at 580. To begin, the EEOC has a “substantial” interest in investigating the charge of discrimination. Id. at 579. Title VII is “central to the federal policy of prohibiting wrongful discrimination in the Nation’s workplaces.” University of Tex. Sw. Med. Ctr. v. Nassar, 570 U.S. 338, 342 (2013). Commissioner Lucas issued a valid charge of discrimination, alleging Penn engaged in systemic discrimination against Jewish employees. And in issuing a subpoena pursuant to that charge, the EEOC seeks to vindicate the “public interest” in investigating charges of workplace discrimination. Gen. Tel. Co., 446 U.S. at 326. Next, the EEOC has a “reasonable need” for the information. Westinghouse Elec. Corp., 638 F.2d at 579. The EEOC seeks to contact (1) employees who reported harassment to Penn, (2) employees in Jewish-related organizations and the Jewish Studies Program and (3) employees who participated in Penn’s listening sessions and received Penn’s antisemitism survey because they are reasonably likely to have information relevant to whether Penn maintained for Jewish employees a hostile work environment on the basis of religion.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreib76ctgypccoq7rrw3524d5jatn4rrd3nkp5k5fzmvtit6akddmxa)

Do the big brains at NPS want people to drive to see the cherry blossoms? If you leave now, you might make it before peak bloom ends.
NPS tells me, somewhat indirectly, that with cherry blossom season coming it needs to improve mobility for everyone, including drivers. But other say that’s exactly backward: with all the crowds that come for cherry blossoms, more should be done to make walking and cycling safe.

This should be embarrassing. A totem to DC’s inadequate storm response.
Snow Removal Update: #DDOTDC crews have cleared & made passable 20+ miles of protected bike lanes & trails across the DC as snowcrete & ice cleanup continues, including key connections like the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge.
Thank you for your patience as this work continues citywide.

Each of them raises the Needle (an index of DC quality of life) by an unusually large 50 points.

“I’m not selling the car. I’m keeping the chassis but replacing the engine, transmission, wheels, body panels, and interior.”
Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?
TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

This is what @ddotdc.bsky.social considers a cleared protected bike lane. It’s blocked by snow where I stood, and halfway down the block, it’s full of snow.
There is no bike lane on this street right now.

What’s happening at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is an absolute disgrace and subversion of civil rights laws.
Its Trump-appointed chair is openly hostile to LGBT people and threw out the agency’s guidance on sexual harassment just so queers could be humiliated at work.

Civil rights laws are meant to protect workers equally. Using the EEOC for a partisan agenda while rolling back established protections undermines both the law and its purpose, all while vulnerable workers pay the price.
