Alonzo Washington

So State Senator Washington yelled at summer camp staff this morning in Greenbelt. I don’t love this, but more than that, I know lots of people like this guy but I’d like to know what he does for our community? Does he do more than be young and show up places? I’ve asked people to tell me what he brings to the table and not really gotten answers, and then he barked at young employees just trying to do their jobs this morning and I’m like….i need more data about why / if he’s a good candidate, generally. Unopposed right now so this is a general question

Vote!

Hey all,

I know for some of us, voting seems like a farce. There’s a lot of rot and our one little vote won’t make much or even any difference. I totally get that. AND man does it matter when all of our little voices gather together. Then we get things done. It’s hard to know who to vote for when the news is dropping stories about …well, it kinda feels like corruption…and some of those folks are running unopposed. But there are some real races to pay attention to and your voice matters!

County council at large - who do you want (or NOT want) representing you? Get out there and vote

Congress - big match up between Ivey and Jakeya Johnson - who do you support?

Congress - who do you want to replace Hoyer?

County council - some of those same corrupt or borderline corrupt politicians did some shenanigans to make Tim Adams an incumbent for this election. Maybe you love him and that’s great, so go vote for him! Or maybe you think that’s a bit sketchy, get out there and make sure people get a sense of your displeasure by voting for one of the other candidates

School district - these folks actually have a lot of power and some times, as we are seeing abundantly right now, folks use school district as a spring board to county council. So this one really matters! Who is the representative that best suits you?

Please get to the polls and do your best job voting. We have low turnout often but primaries really matter. In PGC they matter more than the general! So please get out there, bring a friend, and get out the vote!

More stuff coming out about Council

Last night the Greenbelt News Review had a story about Burroughs’ and Stafford-Adams’ friend David Murray on the payroll for 240,000 plus perks including vehicle spending, this morning the Banner has a deep dive into huge sums of money (2 million dollars to one non-profit friend of Burroughs alone) being siphoned from the public to particular friends of councilmembers. It just keeps getting dirtier and dirtier

Fainted dead out last night - heard a loud sound and it was me hitting the floor

52 year old woman, 5’6, 270, 5 mg Eliquis twice a day for a Leiden Factor V gene mutation with history of DVT (most recently 2023 which is when the Eliquis started), 2.4 mg Wegovy once a week.

Woke up after an hour of sleep last night, needing bathroom. As I stood up I got a MASSIVE cramp in my inner thigh, like my most inner quad muscle, and it was awful! Couldn’t make it better no matter how I moved it, had to lean against wall because couldn’t stand up without help, became extremely sweaty and like a black drape over me, I felt panicky and asked my partner to help because something was wrong with me, then the next thing I knew there was a large bang and I opened my eyes and I was on the floor, the large bang was me dropping, apparently! Never fainted before, although like most of us I’ve had black spots if I stand up too fast occasionally. Certainly never had a dead faint like that. I was absolutely drenched in sweat but felt better lying down, didn’t feel as out of it and scared any more.

Now feel fine (although a Charlie horse feeling in the quad from the bad cramp).

I’d like to know your thoughts, if this is doctor worthy at the point?

Thank you!
