No job? No plan? You’re in! THE DISTRICT Hack. Hack. Hack. The tattooed ex-boxer hacked at the cutting board with a 10-inch chef’s knife. “No. That’s not right,” chef Carletta Fletcher said, grimacing at the green swamp he’d made out of a roll of basil leaves. “You control the knife. The knife doesn’t control you.” She whisked the blade in a flash of silvery strokes, making a pile of thin green ribbons. “That’s how you chiffonade,” she told him. “I’ve never done something that fancy before,” said Wayne Jones, 24, who just a few weeks ago was on the streets with no job, no prospects and no plan. Now Jones wants to be a chef, too. And that means this gonzo culinary school, in one of the District’s most impoverished neighborhoods, is succeeding. It’s the latest food-as-socialjustice project to come of out of the D.C. Central Kitchen, a 30-year-old institution that provides thousands of meals for local agencies while running a culinary training program.

D.C. Central Kitchen’s new culinary program trains young adults

Wayne Jones takes part in culinary training at the D.C. Central Kitchen Cafe.

The signature program is a second-chance 14-week school aimed at older adults — usually fresh out of prison, rehab or careers they hated. But the folks who run the school had an aha moment. Why not intercept these people before all the trouble begins? “All I need to hear from them is ‘I want to change my life,’ ” said Terrell Danley — known as Chef T — who is the new culinary program’s motivational speaker, mentor, drill sergeant

and spirit guide. He sets a goal plan for every student, and they meet regularly. Some have jail time or college credits. Some want to be chefs, one wants to go into the Air Force. It doesn’t matter what the goal is, Chef T will help get them there. They begin their days with classwork, practical stuff such as how to dress for an interview, and how to look confident. The program builds a bridge between the growing sector of restaurant jobs in D.C. and the stubborn unemployment rates in Wards 7 and 8, which hover around 10 percent and 13 percent, respectively. Every day, the students make giant pans of food to fill catering contracts. The school is in the new D.C. Central Kitchen Cafe on Mississippi Avenue in Ward 8, part of the THEARC complex. The cafe is run entirely as a lab, so students build customer service and management skills. “A lot of us have been stuck in the streets for a while,” said Deamonte Bridgeforth, 22, who was the first person in line when the program began accepting applications. “It doesn’t have to be like that.” PETULA DVORAK (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Letters: McCarrick flouted punishment Vatican imposed, but didn’t enforce, sanction on ex-D.C. archbishop THE DISTRICT Email correspondence shows disgraced ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick was placed under Vatican restrictions in 2008 for sleeping with seminarians, but he regularly flouted those travel rules with the apparent knowledge of Vatican officials under Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. The email excerpts, released Tuesday by a former aide, make it clear that retired Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl knew about the restrictions, despite claims of ignorance after the McCarrick scandal exploded last year. Francis defrocked McCarrick in February after a church investigation confirmed that McCarrick sexually abused minors and adults. The existence of prior Vatican restrictions on McCarrick has been the subject of debate ever since a retired Vatican diplomat accused Francis of rehabilitating McCarrick from the restrictions in 2013, despite knowing of his behavior. The Vatican communications office on Wednesday corrected an Italian transcript of Pope Francis’ comments about McCarrick. Earlier, it had omitted

House committee to hold meeting on D.C. statehood

Former Archbishop of Washington Theodore McCarrick was defrocked this year after the church confirmed he sexually abused minors and adults.

Francis’ claim that he didn’t remember if he had been told in 2013 of McCarrick’s penchant for sleeping with seminarians. The omission gave the impression that Francis flatly denied knowing anything about McCarrick, whereas the full comment, provided initially only in the Spanish version, makes clear he didn’t remember. That distinction is at the root of the scandal over the Vatican’s years-long cover-up of McCarrick. The accusations from the diplomat, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, have been used by Francis’ conservative critics to attack him, since they seemingly show Francis disregarded information that McCarrick preyed on seminarians.

The emails don’t address what information Francis had or whether he actually lifted the restrictions. But they do show that McCarrick regularly ignored them even during the Benedict papacy, seemingly undercutting Vigano’s core attempt to place the lion’s share of the cover-up blame on Francis and demand he resign as a result. The excerpts were posted online by McCarrick’s onetime secretary, Monsignor Anthony Figueiredo, currently a priest in McCarrick’s former diocese of Newark, N.J. Vigano said he briefed Francis in June 2013 about McCarrick, telling the pope he “corrupted a generation of seminarians.” NICOLE WINFIELD (AP)

After tense negotiations and a 7-6 vote, the D.C. Council on Tuesday approved the move, aimed at adding 300 students at a larger facility. Some residents of Shaw criticized the decision, arguing that the vacant site should serve as middle school space rather than drawing away potential students from neighborhood schools.

Flooding in Mississippi continues into Month 4

Parliament disbands; second vote will be held

Farmers miss planting season as rains keep waters from draining

Uber may ban riders with low ratings

ROGELIO V. SOLIS (AP)

MISSISSIPPI DELTA Larry Walls should have been out working in his fields last week. Instead, his John Deere tractor is parked on high ground, just beyond the reach of the everencroaching floodwaters in the southern Mississippi Delta. Four months into what seems like a never-ending flood, he’s trying to stay busy. He pressurewashed his church, and he’s been shooting the snakes that slither out of a swollen creek submerging his backyard. “The corn would have been at least waist-high right now,” Walls said. Floodwater has swamped 860 square miles north of the Mississippi River city of Vicksburg, an area larger than the cities of New York and Los Angeles combined. Levees and floodgates near Vicksburg were built to prevent water from overflowing into the Delta when the river rises. This year, it has been above flood stage at Vicksburg for 102 days — since Feb. 17 — with the floodgate closed much of that time. The Steele Bayou gate was opened last Thursday, and water has gone down about 2 inches. But the gate is likely to close again as the Mississippi River rises with runoff from heavy rains in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri

WATCH YOUR MANNERS

The Mississippi River has been above its flood stage for 102 consecutive days, preventing farmers like Larry Walls, above, from planting crops.

and Arkansas. Current forecasts suggest the water won’t drain significantly from the backwater area until July at the earliest. More than 500 homes have been damaged in flooding across a region where cotton, corn and soybeans are the main crops. Farmers are resigning themselves to missing the growing season entirely. A giant pumping station had been proposed to pump water from the backwater, over the levees and into the Mississippi River when the floodgates are closed, but the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency vetoed it in 2008, finding it would drain wetlands and harm wildlife.

Phil Bryant and other Mississippi leaders are lobbying to reverse that decision. Clay Adcock, who farms 3,800 acres, is helping circulate a propumps petition with over 11,000 signatures. He’s also scrambling to shore up the ring levee around his house. Adcock’s trackhoe and bulldozer, normally used to clean ditches in fields, were traversing the muddy mess of his backyard, piling truckloads of dirt to keep out the green-scummed water of the Sunflower River, which normally drains into the Mississippi. “I’ve farmed for 33 years, and I’ve never not made a crop,” Adcock said. “I’m not going to plant an acre this year.” JEFF AMY (AP)

Uber passengers who habitually leave their trash behind and disrespect their drivers may soon get the boot. The ride-hailing company announced Tuesday that riders with ratings that are “significantly below average” may lose access to the app, part of a rollout of the company’s updated community guidelines. Uber, however, said that bans for bad behavior won’t come as a surprise to offending passengers: Riders will receive several notifications before they lose access to the app. And they also will have opportunities to improve their rating to remain in good standing. Uber said that errant passengers could be banned for life. Uber did not say what the rating threshold would be for riders to risk being deactivated. (TWP)

The campaign emblazoned a bus with a promise that voting for Brexit would mean that instead of sending substantial money to the EU, the cash could be used to fund Britain’s National Health Service. Britain’s statistics regulator has said Johnson’s claim about

the 350 million pounds was misleading and a “gross misuse of official statistics.” Lawyers representing Marcus Ball, an activist pursuing a private prosecution of Johnson, asked Westminster Magistrates’ Court to summon the politician. Ball and his legal team assert that Johnson deliberately misled the public during the referendum and then in the general election of 2017. Ball has raised more than 200,000 pounds by crowdfunding to pay for the private prosecution. No date has yet been set for a hearing. GREGORY KATZ (AP)

Is Mueller’s exit a call for action?

Louvre reopens after closing for overcrowding

television since his investigation began — mostly reemphasized what the special counsel already had said in his report, and they instantly fueled partisan infighting in Washington. Some Democrats intensified their calls for impeachment, though their leadership remained noncommittal. In a statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who has resisted a move toward such a dramatic step, merely thanked Mueller for providing “a record for future action both in the Congress and in the courts” and said lawmakers would “continue to investigate and legislate to protect our elections and secure our democracy.” Several presidential contenders — including Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.; Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.; and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg — said Mueller’s comments were akin to an impeachment referral. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said Congress “has a legal and moral obligation to begin impeachment proceedings immediately.” Rep. Justin Amash, D-Mich., the only Republican to call for impeachment, tweeted, “The ball is in our court, Congress.” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said the administration was “prepared” for an impeachment fight, though she called on Democrats to move on. “After two years, the special

PARIS The Louvre Museum in Paris reopened to the public Wednesday after being shut down for a day when workers complained about overcrowding and walked out Monday. Union representatives met Wednesday to discuss plans from the museum’s management on how to ease the traffic flow at the world’s most visited museum. They say the current dispute is linked to renovation work around the “Mona Lisa,” the museum’s most famous painting, which has caused organizational problems, huge queues and the harassment of staff by frustrated tourists. Because the masterpiece is so valuable, it cannot be moved during the building works like all the other paintings in that gallery. It is currently the only painting remaining in the Salle des Etats room, and tourists are cramming together just to get a glimpse of it for a few seconds. Unions decided to reopen the museum at 11 a.m., some two hours after its regular start time, after management agreed to bring in 30 more employees on a temporary basis for the summer. “Satisfied is not the word. It’s a short-term Band-Aid dressing to the problems of overcrowding,” said Christian Galani of the CGT Culture union. Unions note that staff numbers have dropped over the past decade even though the number of visitors to the Louvre has risen 20%. (AP)

POLITICS Special counsel Robert Mueller said Wednesday that his office could neither clear nor accuse President Trump of obstructing justice, leaving room for Congress to make a call where he would not and fueling impeachment demands among some Democrats. In his first public remarks on the case since his investigation concluded, Mueller said that if his office “had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” and noted that the Constitution “requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing.” But if Mueller was trying to suggest that Democrats could initiate impeachment proceedings, he also seemed to dash any hopes they might have had that he would be their star witness, ready and willing to detail new and unflattering information his office had uncovered about Trump. The special counsel — who said he was formally resigning from the Justice Department — said that he hoped the news conference would be his last public comments and that if he were compelled to testify before Congress, he would not speak beyond what he wrote in his 448-page report. The comments — the first time Mueller has ever spoken on live

Robert Mueller said Wednesday he’s resigning from the Justice Department.

Mueller: Trump can’t be charged while in office On Wednesday, special counsel Robert Mueller sought to explain his thinking more fully. A president, he said, “cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional.” And he noted, “Even if the charge is kept under seal and hidden from public view, that, too, is prohibited. … Charging the president with a crime was therefore not an option we could consider.” (TWP)

That sentiment was echoed by prominent Republicans, including the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and the House minority whip, Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La. Democrats vowed to press ahead with their investigations of Trump, and they did not immediately abandon the idea of compelling Mueller to testify. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said, “While I understand his reluctance to answer hypotheticals or deviate from the carefully worded conclusions he drew on his charging decisions, there are, nevertheless, a great many questions he can answer that go beyond the report, including any counterintelligence issues and classified matters that were not addressed in his findings.” MATT ZAPOTOSKY, DEVLIN BARRETT AND FELICIA SONMEZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Violent weather still causing chaos Tornadoes threaten parts of the East while floods hit other areas MIDWEST People from Kansas to Pennsylvania picked up the pieces from a swarm of tornadoes and braced for more storms Wednesday in a record-breaking stretch of violent weather that had no end in sight. North Texas remained under a tornado watch until the evening. And the National Weather Service issued a flash-flood warning along the Oklahoma-Arkansas line as strong thunderstorms brought a new round of rain to eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. The Arkansas River is expected to crest at historic levels. In the East, multiple tornado warnings were issued for New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In Kansas, the National Weather Service was still assessing the strength of a twister that injured at least 15 people Tuesday, three of them seriously. Tuesday marked the 12th straight day that at least eight tornadoes were reported to the National Weather Service. The previous record for consecutive days with that many tornadoes

One person was killed. Winds from tornadoes weren’t the only problem across the Midwest and South. Several water rescues were reported in northern Missouri. In Hannibal, Mo., officials were just beginning to assess damage Wednesday, hours after torrential rain proved too much for the storm sewers, causing a break that resulted in water damage to buildings in the historic downtown area.

POLITICS The Senate majority leader says if there’s a vacancy on the Supreme Court during next year’s election cycle, the Republican-controlled Senate would likely confirm a nominee selected by President Trump. In an appearance Tuesday in Paducah, Ky., Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told a questioner that if a Supreme Court justice died next year, creating a vacancy on the ninemember court, “Oh, we’d fill it.” McConnell’s comments appeared to mark a reversal from his stance three years ago, during President Barack Obama’s final year in office, when he orchestrated a blockade of Obama’s choice of Merrick Garland after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. McConnell said then that the choice should be left to voters in an election year. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York said McConnell was a “hypocrite” and tweeted that his colleague “lives for GOP judges because he knows the GOP agenda is so radical & unpopular they can only achieve it in courts.” No justice has made moves indicating they’re about to leave, but there’s internet chatter that Justice Clarence Thomas, the current court’s longestserving justice, would consider retirement if his seat could be filled by a Trump-named younger conservative.

Each team’s key to victory

NBA FINALS | GAME 1: WARRIORS AT RAPTORS, 9 TONIGHT, ABC

The other title at stake

For years, the superlative “best player in the league” was the sole domain of LeBron James, who played in eight consecutive NBA

Finals. But a lot has changed in the last year. James signed with the Lakers, where the 34-year-old endured the first major injury of his career and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2005. Right on cue, the LeBron void has birthed a fascinating, layered debate about his successor. The championship series between the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors, which begins tonight, features three stars — Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard — with compelling cases for the throne. BEN GOLLIVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Finally Durant’s time?

Leonard’s surprising surge

Curry’s reemergence

James’ absence from the playoffs opened the “best player” floodgates: The respect and deference he had long been shown by colleagues and opponents receded almost as soon as the postseason commenced. Shortly after Durant poured in 45 and 50 points in back-to-back games against the Clippers in late April, Warriors coach Steve Kerr referred to his forward as “the most skilled player on Earth” and evoked Michael Jordan when asked to contextualize Durant’s mastery. Durant usurping James as the consensus top player long felt preordained. The Prince George’s County native appeared on a magazine cover declaring “I’m tired of being second” in 2013, then began checking off accomplishments to strengthen his case. He has led these playoffs by averaging 34.2 points with 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists. His “best player” case starts with his complete game: He can create his own shot, score in volume, get to the free throw line and punish any individual matchup, plus his decision-making has improved. But he will be a late arrival to the Raptors series after suffering a calf strain in Round 2. Kerr has ruled him out tonight, but the Warriors are “hopeful” he could return at some point.

Durant’s absence will loom large thanks to Toronto’s Leonard, who is having the best individual stretch of his career. After hitting a buzzer-beater to eliminate the 76ers from the second round, his late-game scoring and lockdown defense on Giannis Antetokounmpo helped Toronto knock out the Bucks in six games in the Eastern Conference finals. Leonard is averaging 31.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the playoffs and played through an apparent leg injury against Milwaukee. In recent weeks, Leonard has received Jordan comparisons thanks to his controlled pacing on the ball, his comfort from the midrange, his gigantic hands, his fourth-quarter takeovers and his tenacious two-way style. That Leonard, a twotime defensive player of the year, has made such a forceful thrust into the “best player” conversation is something of a surprise. Widespread recognition of his game peaked in 2017, when he finished third in MVP voting. For months last season, Leonard was a ghost, managing a troublesome quad injury, working out away from the Spurs and choosing not to attend their playoff games. A summer trade to Toronto gave him a fresh start.

Curry has maintained a similar focus on team success since rising to prominence as the 2015 MVP and leading Golden State to three titles in the past four years. The 6-foot-3 point guard lacks Durant’s length and Leonard’s imposing physique, but his 3-point shooting acumen has defined the league’s pace-and-space era. Of course, shooting is only one element of Curry’s game. His mastery of the pick and roll with Draymond Green led to immense frustration for the Trail Blazers, who struggled to conjure effective strategies for defending Curry’s outside shots and protecting the basket from plays initiated by his passes. His longstanding success in these situations has forced opposing coaches to reduce their use of slowfooted big men and led front offices, such as the Rockets’, on a search for interchangeable players who can do a better job of keeping up with him. Although Curry has won three titles and is averaging 27.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists during the playoffs, one could argue he has yet to fully receive his due. James spoiled the Warriors’ record-setting 73-win season in 2016, and Durant’s arrival later that summer forced the two superstars to share touches, shots and accolades.

Maryland guard Anthony Cowan Jr. says he will return for his senior season rather than enter the NBA draft

Even with Kevin Durant out tonight and his return uncertain, Golden State is favored over Toronto. Here is the key for the Warriors to win a third straight title, and how the Raptors can stop them. JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

FOR THE WARRIORS

Keep pushing the pace While Durant has been out with a calf injury, Draymond Green, below left, has taken control of the offense. When the versatile point-forward is engaged and pushing the ball up the floor, the Warriors get great looks and seem like an unstoppable force. The Raptors’ ability to limit easy transition baskets by Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks is why they’re here. FOR THE RAPTORS

Win the bench battle The Warriors’ injuries have forced them to go deeper into their bench, and the Raptors will need to take advantage of the stretches when Green, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson rest. Fred VanVleet, Norman Powell and Serge Ibaka, below right, came up big in the Eastern Conference finals and could be the difference in this series.

From statistics to style, manager sees himself in Nats’ new outfielder NATIONALS Gerardo Parra has never seen his current manager, Dave Martinez, play baseball. “I’m too young to have watched him, don’t you know?” Parra said Tuesday before the Nationals’ 5-4 win over the Braves. Martinez was once a nearstatistical clone of Parra. They also are both left-handed throwing, left-handed-hitting utility

outfielders who could moonlight at first base. Since joining the Nationals on May 9, Parra has won a game with a grand slam, kept Washington from being no-hit, and manufactured another victory with his bat and legs. He’s been used as a stopgap first baseman, left fielder, center fielder and pinch-hitter. First base has been a mid-career challenge for both of them. Martinez didn’t play the position until he was 27, with the Reds. He showed up at the ballpark one day, and there was a first baseman’s mitt waiting by his locker.

PATRICK McDERMOTT (GETTY IMAGES)

Martinez, Parra share similar paths

Gerardo Parra’s made seven of his 27 career starts at first base for the Nationals, a mid-career challenge.

Martinez wound up with 137 career starts in that spot. Most of those came with the White Sox in 1997, when Hall of Famer Frank Thomas hurt his right foot. Parra, 32, has made seven of his 27 career starts at first for the Nats because, in part, of Ryan Zimmerman’s plantar fasciitis. “First base is very tough for me,” Parra said. “The ball comes fast and sometimes a runner is in front of you, too.” Martinez can look at his new utility man and safely say he’s been there before.

These burgers aren’t Impossible The Impossible Burger has become the vegetarian standard on menus throughout the country, including at Burger King and White Castle. The big name in plant-based burgers — engineered to look, taste and bleed like a beef patty — is taking over D.C. too, but there are still some local eateries turning out classic veggie patties.

The pico de gallo topping helps the veggie burger ($10.95) at this cozy Woodley Park diner stand out. The mild base patty unites black beans, lentils, spinach, peppers, barley and oats on a simple potato bun, and the other toppings include lettuce and a garlic mayo. (Avocado and cheese can be added at an additional cost.) The side of french fries can be freely substituted with another side: If you’re really in the mood for veggies, opt for an arugula salad.

Bluejacket’s falafel burger ($15) may be just as exciting as what’s on tap at the Navy Yard brewery. The crispy outer coating melts in your mouth, revealing a smooth blend of chickpeas and herbs. The patty is served on a toasted potato bun over lettuce and is topped with a creamy dill yogurt sauce and bright shreds of pickled beets. The burger can be made vegan by swapping yogurt for avocado, and it comes with a serving of fries.

The casual neighborhood cafe concocts a satisfying, no-frills patty from mixed beans, quinoa and various veggies, and it serves it on a lightly toasted brioche bun ($12.50). Sure, the burger can be elevated by some fancy fixings or special sauces (cheese, bacon, sprouts and avocado are extra), but simple lettuce and tomato do the trick, especially during happy hour when it costs $6. The full meal comes with a side salad, potato chips or fries.

Old Ebbitt’s veggie burger ($14.99) is sure to fall apart shortly after your first bite, but what it lacks in structural integrity, it makes up for in flavor. The unstable patty at this D.C. landmark is packed with plant-powered flavors and textures: peppery lentils, nutty barley, wilted spinach and sweet carrots. It’s topped with caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato and is served with a pickle and fries, fruit or salad.

weekendpass My D.C. dream day

If I am over at Bridge Street Books, I would go to Dumbarton Oaks. It’s one of the most peaceful, beautiful places I’ve ever been to in D.C. It’s a library, it’s a collection, and they have a really gorgeous garden. After that, I would head over to Meats & Foods for lunch, probably to get a chicken lemon grass sausage sandwich. They always have gluten-free buns, and I think they have the best half-smokes in D.C.

SLODAK PHOTOGRAPHY

I have a dog, Bruno, and he’s pretty great. After lunch we’d go to the small S Street Dog Park near Dupont. He’s kind of a total ham. We’d have a great time there, whether there’s one dog there or five dogs there.

Farrah Skeiky ARTIST

The first thing most people do after entering their hotel room is unpack their bags. Farrah Skeiky heads straight for the cabinets. “Even when I go into a Days Inn, I open every drawer and touch every piece of printed media,” the 28-year-old Bloomingdale resident says. “I’m always curious: If you could choose anything to put in this room, what would you choose, Days Inn?” Skeiky’s passion for design comes through in her role as creative and culture manager for The Line in Adams Morgan. At the year-and-a-half-old hotel, she is responsible for the branding and visual identity, a natural move from her last gig, where she handled photography and social media for several D.C.-area restaurants and bars through her company, Dim Sum Media. Skeiky works her love of food into her dream day, alongside some quality time with her dog. I love starting my days at Calabash Tea Bar & Cafe in Shaw. I’m a big tea person, and I appreciate that they have so many different ways to engage in that in a way that’s very community-centric. I always feel really good when I get my day started there. I’m the kind of person where

you could leave me in a cafe or bookstore all day, check in on me, and I wouldn’t have moved from my pile of books. I would go to either Bridge Street Books in Georgetown or Capitol Hill Books. They’re both places where everybody who works there could spin you a million stories, or also just let you do your own thing.

Since we’re already kind of in the area, I would probably head up to The Line hotel because they have really solid dog treats at the coffee shop The Cup We All Race 4. After that, I’d go to Lyman’s Tavern. I’m not a big drinker, so sometimes it’s more about playing pinball and catching up with people. I’ll always run into someone I know there. I have many dream restaurants in D.C. as far as eating, so I’ll choose two. At Bad Saint I usually get ukoy, which is a sweet potato and carrot fritter with prawns in it. I love Little Serow when they do a seafood night because there are no substitutions, and I’m a big fan of their fish dishes. Then I would end up at Black Cat to either catch a show or shoot a show. It’s one of my favorite places for music in D.C. I’ve been going there since I was a teenager, when I first moved to D.C. I’d end my night at Gay Bash, easily the best drag show in D.C., at Trade. D.C. drag queens are some of the most creative people I’ve ever met. AS TOLD TO STEPHANIE WILLIAMS (EXPRESS)

The Monument Quilt, then a work in progress, was displayed in Baltimore in 2014.

Picking up the pieces Victims of sexual assault and their allies tell their stories via the Monument Quilt EXHIBITS The stories are stitched or scribbled onto squares of red fabric, sometimes a single word, sometimes many, sometimes just a symbol: “I was raped by two or three men while I studied abroad.” “It wasn’t my fault.” “I’m still afraid to be touched.” Each was crafted by someone who survived sexual abuse or rape, or who cared about someone who did. Many were speaking out about what happened to them for the first time,

channeling their anger or hope into a 4-by-4-foot piece of art. Starting Friday, more than 3,000 of these carefully designed messages will be displayed on the National Mall for three days, joined together to create the Monument Quilt. It’s expected to stretch the length of four football fields, the fabric arranged to spell out “Not Alone” and a Spanish translation, “No Estás Solx.” “Washington has a lot of monuments for survivors and all different groups of people, but not

for survivors of sexual violence,” says event organizer Lorena Kourousias, who’s based in New York. “That’s why we call it the Monument Quilt: It’s a monument to the stories of survivors.” Baltimore-based art and activist collective FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture launched the project in 2013, partnering with organizations across the U.S. and Mexico to host quilt-making workshops. There, trained facilitators would provide a safe environment and one-on-one support, offering survivors self-care activities like coloring or crocheting while they constructed their quilt squares — a sometimes emotionally fraught process. As the quilt has grown, portions have been displayed nearly 50 times in dozens of cities, but the culmination on the National Mall is the only time it will be on display in its entirety. “Quilt-making is a very intimate practice, and it’s a very creative practice,” says Kalima

“Washington has a lot of monuments for … all different groups of people, but not for survivors of sexual violence.” LORENA KOUROUSIAS, Monument Quilt event organizer, on the need for this weekend’s exhibit in D.C.

Young, a Baltimore activist and scholar who’s on the Monument Quilt’s leadership team. She notes that the group has focused on “making sure we have stories and quilts created by those who are the most marginalized, who are often kept out of conversations about sexual violence. So we have stories from male survivors of sexual violence, from LGBTQ survivors, from immigrant populations, migrant workers and those who have been detained at

the border.” Allies of survivors have also been encouraged to make quilt squares. The Monument Quilt provides those who have experienced rape and abuse with a public healing space to come together, grieve and reclaim the narrative around the trauma they experienced. It’s also an opportunity to change how we, as a culture, think and talk about sexual violence — and to support, not shame, survivors, Kourousias says. “But it made me stronger,” one quilt square reads, loopy blue handwriting sharp against the red backdrop. “I am finding my voice again, and you can too,” another declares. “Take a stand.” That’s the kind of cathartic release FORCE started the project to achieve, Kourousias says. By using the quilt to tell their stories, people “can release some of the pain and their painful memories of trauma, and we can use it to create a community of support,” she says.

Sam Cohen’s present looks bright MUSIC It’s not unusual for Sam Cohen to juggle multiple projects at once. The New York-based singer-songwriter makes his own music but spends much of his time working as a producer for other artists. It is unusual for two of those projects to coalesce in the way his second solo album and Kevin Morby’s latest record have. Cohen, 39, released “The Future’s Still Ringing in My Ears” on May 17 — three weeks after Morby put out “Oh My God,” which Cohen produced and played on. Now the two are on tour together, with Cohen opening each show before playing guitar in Morby’s band, connecting the two records in ways Cohen hadn’t foreseen. “To be working on my album in tandem with another album is par for the course,” says Cohen, formerly of the indie rock bands

and wry, existential lyricist, started his record in summer 2016 during a session with frequent collaborator Danger Mouse (of Gnarls Barkley and Broken

Bells), who ended up co-producing the set with Cohen. By the following February, he was recording Morby with Morby, one of about eight projects Cohen would work on as he tinkered with his own LP. Cohen’s album combines his and Danger Mouse’s penchant for psychedelic rock that sounds both of the past and the future. Lyrically, it explores how America, adulthood and technology haven’t quite lived up to his expectations. Sample line: “The future has been a terrific disappointment.” Morby’s record, about America’s relationship with God and religion, is sparser and more droning, with elements of gospel and chamber music. Cohen helped shape that sound as producer, and Morby returned the favor, co-writing Cohen’s bright, soaring and sincere ballad “Let the Sun Come Through.” “Working with Kevin is a special thing … and working with him on his record certainly

influenced my record, and obviously vice versa,” says Cohen, who also helmed Morby’s 2016 effort “Singing Saw.” For Cohen, “The Future’s Still Ringing in My Ears” is a natural extension of his 2015 solo debut “Cool It,” the album that made Danger Mouse and Morby want to work with him. The new one is a little simpler and more direct and reflects how Cohen looks at the world now that he’s a father of two young children. “I used to be like a passenger before I had kids,” Cohen says. “I felt like a total alien on Earth — almost like this isn’t my society, these aren’t my people. [After having kids,] I became part of the continuum. I had to teach people how to fit in, how to try to shape their world. I had to start thinking more positively about what society is supposed to be. When you’re teaching a person everything from scratch, sarcasm doesn’t go very far.”

Everyone is welcome FESTIVALS For more than 10 years, the arrival of the Capital Pride Celebration each June brought a formidable line to Town Danceboutique. At the massive warehouse on Eighth Street NW, Washington’s LGBTQ party crowds coalesced to find life-affirming energy in dancing till last call — and in being themselves. But after last year’s celebration, the stray tinsel and glitter was swept away, and Town shuttered. Several months later, so went Cobalt, which had anchored Dupont Circle’s 17th Street nightlife strip for 20 years. Announcing Cobalt’s closure in March, its owner noted that Washington’s gay bar industry was changing. Dating apps had transformed

CALLA KESSLER AND SARAH SILBIGER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

As the landscape shifts, D.C.’s LGBTQ scene strives for inclusivity

ASTRID RIECKEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

The annual Capital Pride parade through Dupont Circle and Logan Circle is always a colorful affair.

Trade, left, and A League of Her Own and Pitchers, which share a space, right, are among D.C.’s remaining gay bars.

how people met and parties were moving from exclusively gay spaces to venues whose regular crowds were far more mixed. When Capitol Hill’s historic lesbian bar Phase 1 closed two years earlier, its regulars similarly suggested that social changes meant that the clientele were newly free to be themselves anywhere — a sign of progress.

The demise of a handful of bars might not signal much in straight circles, though the closure of gay and lesbian bars is a nationwide phenomenon. Gay bars have long been safe havens, places that fostered a sense of community among those who felt unwelcome elsewhere. “They’re something that straight bars just aren’t — [straight bars] aren’t

the only place someone can go to be themselves,” says Ed Bailey, co-owner of a group of bars that includes Trade on 14th Street NW and Number 9, nearby on P Street. But as this year’s Pride approaches (with celebrations in D.C. this weekend and next), few are mourning what was lost. Instead, many are lauding

a sea change where new events and venues have embraced a fresh ethos of inclusivity, fostering a sense of oneness among bearded bears, feathered drag performers, fan-waving black voguers, nonbinary and trans college kids and, yes, even their straight allies. “Maybe the [2015 U.S. Supreme Court] marriage ruling was a moment of a kind of ultimate assimilation for our community,” Bailey says. “Maybe our community naturally reset itself.” In Adams Morgan, a pair of bars — Pitchers and the ladycentric League of Her Own, both for queer sports fans — have opened in tandem, under a single roof. Pitchers’ promise? To be “a bar for everyone.” On June 15, the Hirshhorn will throw its first-ever Hirshhorn Ball, with drag performers, voguing and DJs plucked from the LGBTQ community. Even Capital Pride is getting in on the spirit of change: For the first time, its opening party, thrown by Bailey (along with the crew from nightclub Trade) at Echostage on June 7, is 18 and older — an acknowledgment of the influence of younger members of the community. “The youth are definitely claiming this ‘queer’ space,” says Ryan Bos, executive director of the Capital Pride Alliance. “For the elders in our community, that was very much a derogatory and hatefilled word, used to bully. The younger generation have been trying to reclaim that word.” Getting the generations together, even on a dance floor, he says, has sparked a conversation. Phil Powell, who describes himself as “sort of D.C.’s unofficial dandy,” could be found taking it all in recently at the 9:30 Club’s queer dance night Bent, admiring the way various scenes and aesthetics merged on the dance floor. “A lot of people feel they’re underrepresented,” he says, like they didn’t fit into the boxes that D.C.’s gay bars once seemed to check. “We’re starting to realize we need each other.” LAVANYA RAMANATHAN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

The annual parade that stretches 1.5 miles from Dupont Circle to Logan Circle is always the biggest draw of Capital Pride. More than 200 organizations and performers will traverse the route in floats, in cars and on foot.

Though the queer dance party Mixtape — featuring an eclectic selection of ’80s remixes, electro-pop, disco and hip-hop — came to an end after a decade last September, DJ Matt Bailer is bringing it back for a special Pride revival with guest DJs Keenan Orr, Lemz and Tezrah.

Booty Rex began almost a decade ago as a fusion of two different all-female DJ nights. Ebony Dumas, who spins as DJ Natty Boom, says that Booty Rex’s crowd attracts those turned off by how corporate — and how much of a spectacle — the Pride Parade has become.

Queer, and they were here

Step this way to trace D.C.’s lesbian history D.C.’s Capitol Hill and Navy Yard neighborhoods are rich in local lesbian history. During D.C. Dykaries’ free walking tour on Friday, Ty Ginter will show you some of the spaces that defined the community. Here are three highlights. S.W.

TOURS There’s no mistaking when you’ve entered Navy Yard — Nationals Park is by far the D.C. neighborhood’s most distinguishable landmark. But long before there was a venue to root for the home team, the area was the city’s busiest hub for queer nightlife. The stadium is one of the highlights of a lesbian history walking tour organized by D.C. Dykaries (Fri., 6-8 p.m., free), a project started by Ty Ginter intended to document and preserve the stories of local queer women. Comprehensive literature on that part of the city’s past is pretty tough to come by, as Ginter found while working on the DC Preservation League’s LGBTQ Historic Context Statement of Washington, D.C., three years ago. The yet-to-be-released statement is meant to be a written document of D.C. queer history. “All of the official sources that we were using [for the statement] didn’t have a ton of lesbian history,” says Ginter, 24, now a grad student studying historic preservation at the University of Maryland. “I said, ‘Well, someone should do something about this,’ and I decided that someone should be me.” When the time came to write a graduate thesis a year later, Ginter already had a solid game plan in place. This thesis would be an overview of D.C.’s bygone lesbian spaces, many located in Southeast D.C. But the scale of the project felt a little too big for just a thesis, which led Ginter to form D.C. Dykaries in 2017 with filmmaker B. Williams. The two have interviewed locals who were there to witness history in the making, including former employees of D.C.’s longestrunning lesbian bar, Phase 1. “At first it was hard getting information out of the community

because a lot of times commun it y members don’t necessarily know what they can give,” Ginter Ginter says. “People can think, ‘Oh, my memory doesn’t matter,’ but in actuality their memory could be the missing link to the puzzle.” Friday’s tour will start at Nationals Park, where the lesbian club The Other Side and gay bar Ziegfeld’s/Secrets once stood. The route will cover a roughly 2-mile stretch in Southeast and stop at 10 to 15 spots. This is where Ginter’s thesis will come to life — many of the spaces, including Tracks and the dance club Phase 1, are profiled in that project. The tour is being conducted in partnership with the DC Dyke

March (June 7, 6-9 p.m.), which is returning to the District after a 12-year hiatus. Both events are wholly independent from the concurrent Capital Pride Alliance celebration, which some members of the LGBTQ community — such as march organizer Mary Claire Phillips — accuse of lacking inclusiveness. “There’s rampant violence against trans women of color and other hard-hitting issues that aren’t being discussed at Pride,” Phillips says. “Until every single member of our queer community is recognized, celebrated and supported, there will always need to be a Dyke March.” The march isn’t solely a protest of Capital Pride, nor is it just for those who identify as lesbian. For Phillips, the march is about reclaiming a derogatory word that

has long been used as a weapon against queer women. “We believe that the word ‘dyke’ is not necessarily a term of just sexuality but more a political identity,” Phillips says. “Anybody who belongs to a marginalized sexuality or gender can benefit from the vision of equality that Dyke March has.” The theme of this year’s march (the route of which will be announced June 7) is “Dykes Against Displacement,” and the event will raise money for local nonprofits that include ONE DC and Casa Ruby. Gentrification is also, indirectly, a focal point of Ginter’s walking tour, as many of the featured places succumbed to rising rents or — in the case of Ziegfeld’s/Secrets’ building — had to be torn down for new development. Though gone, these venues are not forgotten — Ginter’s thesis will be released publicly by late summer through the University of Maryland, and Ginter plans to continue documenting local venues after graduation. “The thing about history is that you can’t learn everything,” Ginter says. “You can have as much history written down as possible, but there’s always something new to learn, and that’s one of the reasons why I love what I do.” STEPHANIE WILLIAMS (EXPRESS)

The first stop is a pretty surprising one — Nationals Park? Before the stadium opened in 2008, The Other Side was a go-to spot for local lesbians in the ’70s and ’80s. The bar was owned by Allen Carroll, also the owner of D.C.’s longest-running lesbian club, Phase 1, which closed in 2016. Once The Other Side closed in the late ’80s, the space was taken over by gay bar Ziegfeld’s/ Secrets. “[The building was] later taken by eminent domain and bulldozed to make room for the stadium,” Ginter says. Three years later, Ziegfeld’s/Secrets relocated a few blocks away.

Tracks A block from Nationals Park, a WeWork co-working space now sits on the former site of Tracks, a massive warehouse dance venue that thrived in the ’80s and ’90s. “It was very popular, especially with lesbians,” Ginter says. “It was also popular with people of color too, though not necessarily friendly to people of color.” The club closed for good in 1999.

Lammas Women’s Books & More Lammas opened in 1974 as a jewelry store before evolving into a lesbian feminist bookstore. “Lammas was one of the last places besides the Phase where older lesbians felt comfortable outside of their own homes,” Ginter says. The business moved to Dupont Circle before closing in 2000, while the old space now houses a card and gift shop.

Weyes Blood U Street Music Hall, 1115 U St. NW; Fri., 7 p.m., sold out.

There’s a cinematic scope and sound to “Titanic Rising,” Natalie Mering’s fourth album as Weyes Blood. The singer-songwriter, 30, has said that the album’s title is a reference to both James Cameron’s 1997 film and the ship itself. Many of the lush, orchestral ballads are dark, even apocalyptic — but there’s also levity. The upbeat “Everyday” includes the seemingly hopeful line “true love is making a comeback,” yet the single’s video plays out like a mini-horror movie. Those contradictions help make the album one of this year’s most captivating releases.

Throughout, the Chicago singer-songwriter distills the lessons of those legends to write the latest chapter in their lineage with the voice of a soothsayer and the pen of a poet. On Tuesday, she headlines Union Stage.

Writing herself out of a corner Phoebe Waller-Bridge is moving on from ‘Fleabag’ after two acclaimed seasons Phoebe Waller-Bridge is done looking back, having decided to end her series “Fleabag.”

‘Impeachers’ takes a timely look at the past

AMAZON

STREAMING Phoebe Waller-Bridge knows how to quit while she’s ahead. May 17 marked the stateside return of “Fleabag,” her drywitted Amazon series that, following its acclaimed first season, almost didn’t get a second. The six half-hour episodes that debuted back in 2016 — two years before Waller-Bridge’s popular BBC America series “Killing Eve” — painted such a robust portrait of a droll, self-destructive woman that they felt sufficient on their own. (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns Express.) And yet the second season has been deemed “unmissable,” “profound” and “a minor miracle” — a testament to critics’ fondness of Waller-Bridge, who insists that this is the last we’ll ever see of her irreverent title character. Whereas the first season uncovered how the sudden death of her best friend led Fleabag to spiral, the second explores what happens when she finally meets someone whose emotional turmoil complements hers. There’s a snag, of course. The love interest happens to be a man of the cloth, referred to only as the Hot Priest (“Sherlock’s” Andrew Scott). Fleabag struggles to keep her distance, while the charming priest tries to reconcile his feelings with his sworn celibacy. “They’re the characters I root for the most, because I can relate to that,” Waller-Bridge says. “It

shows that someone is reaching for something good, if they’re testing themselves all the time.” “Fleabag” grew out of a comic monologue Waller-Bridge wrote several years ago, and that she has since brought to both New York and London’s West End. She described the character, who owns a guinea pig-themed cafe in London, as an “amplified version of my own cynicism at the time, which is somebody who really believed that her main value in the world should be measured by how attractive she was.” The Hot Priest brings out a more sincere side of Fleabag that we haven’t seen before. WallerBridge said she toned down his priestliness to ground the

character in reality. He swears and drinks and encourages Fleabag to let her guard down, as we encounter in the season premiere at a tense dinner they attend with her widowed father (Bill Paterson) and terrible godmother (Olivia Colman), whose upcoming wedding the priest will officiate, as well as Fleabag’s uptight sister, Claire (Sian Clifford), and Claire’s scumbag husband, Martin (Brett Gelman). “I’m constantly working out who these characters are while I’m writing them, hoping they’ll surprise me as they come out,” Waller-Bridge says. “I’ll reveal the big thing about this person, and backtrack from there. It’s quite haphazard, depending on

verbatim

“People just kept coming up and cuddling me like a big bear or rubbing my belly like I was pregnant.” CHRIS HEMSWORTH, telling Variety about the beer-bellied look of his character, Thor, in “Avengers: Endgame.”

“It was so different than any other way I played the character,” he said. “And then it took on a life of its own.”

Camila Cabello releasing Mark Ronson collaboration “Find U Again” today

which character I’m writing as well.” On “Fleabag,” as well as “Killing Eve,” the offbeat writer has shown a tendency to dismantle viewers’ notions of established characters. It’s a skill that probably will prove helpful to WallerBridge, who, in addition to landing a series order from HBO for a comedic thriller, is set to polish the script of the upcoming James Bond film at the behest of star Daniel Craig. “I could bring some fun and darkness — what I’m always trying to reach for in everything,” Waller-Bridge says. “Something frightening, something sexy. A little bit of wit.” SONIA RAO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

BOOK REVIEW Brenda Wineapple’s riveting account of the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson contains no mention of President Trump. But Wineapple has written a stunningly welltimed book on a question ripped from the headlines. Should we think of impeaching a lawless and toxic president as a vital matter of national principle? Or as an affair of pragmatic politics? Released last week, the book is titled “The Impeachers: The Trial of Andrew Johnson and the Dream of a Just Nation.” A Democrat, Johnson became president upon Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865 and eventually took a step too far when he tried to fire Secretary of War Edwin Stanton over Congress’ objection. By early 1868, Johnson had few allies remaining, leaving the House to impeach. Impeaching a president from an opposing party, however, presented difficult questions. Republican leaders feared that impeaching Johnson might make him a martyr. Despite little support, the president gained an acquittal from the Senate. So what to do under the very different circumstances of a president with the support of a party in control of the Senate? Wineapple’s story suggests that impeaching presidents and dreaming of justice are no substitutes for the work of doing justice and winning elections. JOHN FABIAN WITT (TWP)

“It blows my mind how bad some people are at just simply throwing a ball.”

“My baby due in November gets to grow up with this and I’m so emotional right now.” @HELLOKATRYNA, reacting to the first

look at "Blue's Clues & You," the reboot of the popular ’90s kids show. Filipino actor Joshua Dela Cruz will be the new host. Asian American fans were delighted to see Dela Cruz take over, and expressed gratitude that the next generation would get to grow up with a character resembling them.

@JDIZZLE_00, tweeting about the first pitch thrown by a

White Sox employee before Tuesday's game against the Royals. The pitch went sharply to the left, completely missing White Sox pitcher Evan Marshall, who was waiting behind the plate, and hitting photographer Darren Georgia's camera. The pitch drew comparisons to rapper 50 Cent's extremely wide throw before a Mets game on May 27, 2014.

“Pokémon Self-Care? Pokémon Drink Water? Pokémon Remember Your Meds?” @PUMPKINHEADGUY, joking about

Pokémon Sleep, a new app from the Pokémon Company that will track users' sleep patterns and impact their game if they play Pokémon Go. The announcement had fans thinking of future additions to the franchise. Pokémon Sleep is set for a 2020 debut.

“One shade?? You’re cutting out a whole demographic.” YOUTUBE COMMENTER KIMBERLY CLAIRE, criticizing YouTuber Summer

McKeen’s “Summer Proof” makeup collaboration with Nudestix. The products in the collection are only available in one shade, which matches McKeen’s skin tone. Fans have noted that not only is it discriminatory toward darker- and lighter-skinned fans, but the $69 price is high for only four items.

GREAT NEWS

‘Mind-boggling’ recovery is Alex’s big win

Ansel preps to audition for Narcissus Ansel Elgort uploaded 17 photos of himself shirtless to Instagram within a 10-minute time span on Tuesday evening, Us Weekly reported. The 25-yearold “Baby Driver” star shared the nearly identical selfies with his 10.1 million followers without captions. His longtime girlfriend, dancer Violetta Komyshan, commented on one: “I think this one is the best but they’re all pretty good tbh,” she wrote. (EXPRESS)

“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek says his doctors say he’s in “near remission” of advanced pancreatic cancer and his response to the treatment is “kind of mind-boggling.” The 78-year-old TV personality tells People magazine he’s responding very well to chemotherapy and the doctors have told him “they hadn’t seen this kind of positive results in their memory.” Trebek says some of the tumors have shrunk by more than 50%. Trebek announced his diagnosis in March, but said he intended to keep working. Trebek says he still has several more rounds of treatment to hopefully get into full remission. (AP)

LEGAL ISSUES

Britney Spears’ restraining order against her former manager Sam Lutfi will stay in place until June 13, when a judge will decide whether to extend it. An L.A. Superior Court judge on Tuesday suspended a hearing where Lutfi fought the restrictions as overly broad. The restraining order alleges that Lutfi harassed and disparaged Spears and her family via social media and text messages. (AP)
