Happy almost Friday, D.C. It’s looking like rain today. The National Park Service has approved the permit application for a “white civil rights” rally in August. There’s a new issue of City Paper on newsstands today.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

• Opponents of Initiative 77 have moved their fight from the ballot to the D.C. Council, the Post reports, urging legislators to veto the referendum passed by a margin of 55-44 Tuesday night. A supermajority of the Council, plus Mayor Muriel Bowser and Attorney Karl Racine, have vocalized opposition to the proposal.

• Self-styled “incubator” Halcyon is shaking up the arts scene in the District. From spinning Migos to colonizing Mars, its vision is expansive—and its goal is even broader. Read Kriston Cappson the (growing) local giant.

• Last week, City Paper reported that senior officials in the D.C. government have known for months that contracting and construction issues have delayed the production of homeless shelters in Wards 7 and 8. In response to these findings, the D.C. Council will hold a public roundtable on Monday, June 25, where Council members will interview government witnesses under oath about the shelter delays.

• Pope Francisordered the removal of 87-year old Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the retired Roman Catholic archbishop of Washington, D.C., from public ministry after the church substantiated claims of sexual abuse lodged against him. The church also also “acknowledged that it had made previously undisclosed legal settlements with adults who accused McCarrick of sexual misconduct decades ago.”

THE BULLETIN:

• Wonder Woman 2 An unconfirmed movie is filming in D.C., so be wary of road closures.

• If you’re at a marijuana pop-up event, stay vigilant.

• Professional missed connection: I’m looking for a female photographer / possibly a photo blogger who said she was from DC. She was maybe in her late 20’s, maybe early 30’s. We met at the Gratitude Migration Festival in Keensburg, NJ in Summer 2017. She was a photographer who took some of the best photo documents of a large puppet head sculpture that I built. Unfortunately, I was very busy all festival, and lost the note she gave me with her information. [Craigslist]
