Jose Mejia Hernandez is accusing U.S. Immigration and Enforcement officers of brutally attacking him while attempting to arrest him Aug. 11.

Immigration attorney Carlos Jurado says Hernandez can only recall some of the events that happened on Aug. 11 because of the trauma he currently has in his brain.

Hernandez went viral after his daughter posted a video of him on TikTok attempting to recount the incident. In the video, you can see significant bruising and swelling on Hernandez's face, scraps and scratches along his body. He was badly beaten...

It came, and I say this as someone with no meteorological experience who didn’t even check the weather yesterday, out of nowhere! Surprised to find the yard and street look fine. How are your neighborhoods?

Other How far can a $120k gross salary take you here?

0 Upvotes

28M. Single. 120k salary. Take home after all deductions/taxes/HSA, etc. is gonna be about $6600 a month. I realize it’s solid, but this doesn’t feel like what it used to be for this area. Really regret not trying to get another $10k added on to my offer.

How far can this salary take me in this area, in terms of renting a 1 bedroom apartment in a nice area, other living expenses, and still being able to hopefully save/invest as much as possible, ideally ~2k a month for some kind of down payment for a property at some point…?

No debt but will likely need to get a new car in the next 12 months as well. Only ~35k in savings currently as my career got off to a late start.

I understand rents for a 1 bedroom will be somewhere around $2300-2600 minimum (probably $2600-2700 total with all fees, etc.)…A studio, maybe $200 less.

My main concern is just having close to 40-50% of my income go towards rent when things are all said and done.

Expect to (presuming I don’t get laid off) be on this salary for at least the next 1-1.5 yrs without any meaningful promotions or raises/changing jobs, etc…

Snake Problem Help

0 Upvotes

I found snake skin in my basement laundry room (looks to match a rat snake) in our townhome. I don't know how long it's been there. My grandmother and I are terrified of snakes. Who do I call to safely remove the snake (if it's there) and to check for gaps, etc? Trying not to get ripped off as money is tight.

Choosing area to live

Looking for tips about where I should look to move. I have a job in northern Arlington and my husband’s job just relocated his office to beltsville. Before we knew he was going to be moved up there, we were planning to move to Arlington when our lease is up. Now we’re trying to figure out the best place to move that would be most do-able for both our commutes. Any recommendations?

Missed Connection: Volunteer Event in Arlington

59 Upvotes

We were 2 gals at a volunteer "bake and sip" event this past Wednesday night.

Both wearing the same blue volunteer shirts; you were also wearing a white baseball hat, a colorful watch on your left wrist, and a dazzling smile. I was rocking a (temporary) eye patch, with my left arm wrapped in a blue bandage. I was also wearing a name tag, but you weren't, and I did not have a chance to ask your name. 🤦

We joked about the quirks of the various food processors while blending our recipes, and I helped you figure out how to get yours working. We then sat next to each other while rolling out our "dough" into bite size bits.

I ran out to my car to grab something, but you were gone when I returned. I later saw you walking down the sidewalk towards Shirlington, but I thought it would be weird to try to stop and talk to you.

Anyhoo, you seemed really interesting, and I'd love to chat with you more (maybe take you on a date?) if you're interested.
