Ahh, yes.

"A Northern Virginia sports arena that would move the Washington Capitals and Wizards out of downtown D.C. would receive what would be the largest-ever public subsidy for a project of its kind, an estimated $1.35 billion in state and local funds, if it goes forward."

Remember, if your Mastodon instance plans to defederate/block Threads and you don't agree with this, kindly reach out to your admin and ask that they reconsider.

If they won't budge, you can always migrate to another instance. If you're in the #DMV area and want to move to my instance, we'd love to have you. I'm leaving it up to individual users to block Threads if they want.

We're not biased against you. You're just a bad candidate for the Board.
