Summer 2020’s racial reckoning inspired a flurry of local campaigns to rename streets and buildings named after Confederate leaders, slave owners, and others who played active roles in oppressing Black people.

Driving the news: The years-long effort to rename D.C.’s largest public high school, Woodrow Wilson, recently led to disagreement between the Bowser administration and the D.C. Council.

• It’s one of the schools identified for renaming by Mayor Muriel Bowser’s District of Columbia Facilities and Commemorative Expressions (DCFACES) group.

This week, the council introduced a measure to rename the school Jackson Reed High, which goes against the Bowser administration’s recommendation to rename it after playwright August Wilson.

• Those against renaming the school after August Wilson say there are figures with stronger connections to the area, the Washington Post reports.
• The name Jackson Reed pays tribute to Edna Jackson, the school's first Black teacher, and Vincent Reed, the school’s first Black principal and who went on to head D.C. schools.

Why it matters: Renaming buildings and taking down statues that glorify Confederate leaders can send a message about what a community values and where it places its priorities.

• Yes, but sending a message isn’t the same as taking action. Local activists are still pushing for larger-scale changes, including police and prison reform.

Metro horror stories from readers flooded our inboxes this week, thanks to the system pulling most of its trains following last week's derailment.

• Our team has largely avoided riding the train as a result — we’re lucky to be able to WFH.

But, our brave publisher Nicholas Johnston volunteered to see just how much of a nightmare riding Metro would be when he and the head of the Axios People Team, Dominique Taylor, returned to D.C. yesterday from a visit to Axios in Nashville.

Spoiler: It wasn’t that bad.

Here’s what happened: Nick and Dominique parted ways at Reagan National at 2:09pm yesterday afternoon.

Dominique’s Uber picked her up right away and got her to Axios HQ in Clarendon in 12 minutes. She paid $16.64 before tip.

• Uber tells us it saw a “significant increase” in demand on Monday morning in D.C., but it slowed by Tuesday.

Nick waited around 6 minutes for the train and transferred at Rosslyn. His trip to the office took 37 minutes total, and cost $2.40.

Nick’s thought bubble: Metro was not at all the complete disaster I feared.

• As a bonus, Nick said Metro’s cell service was great so it’s possible to work while you wait.

D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine has named Mark Zuckerberg as a defendant in his lawsuit against Facebook.

Why it matters: This is the first time a U.S. regulator has named the Facebook CEO in a complaint, according to Racine’s office.

Context: Racine sued Facebook in late 2018 alleging the company failed to protect the privacy of millions of American users when Cambridge Analytica acquired their data and used it during the 2016 election cycle.

What they're saying: "Based on the evidence we gathered in this case over the past two years and the District’s investigation more generally, it’s clear Mr. Zuckerberg knowingly and actively participated in each decision that led to Cambridge Analytica’s mass collection of Facebook user data," Racine said in a statement.

• Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone told CNBC that the "allegations are as meritless today as they were more than three years ago, when the District filed its complaint."

Welcome to Screen Time, our series that digs into the media habits of well-known Washingtonians.

First up: Media personality Tommy McFly, who’s occasionally referred to as D.C.’s Ryan Seacrest.

• The NBC4 Scene correspondent and Tommy and Kelly Show podcast host has his finger on the pulse of the city (and, of course, his phone).

"The Office" fanatics (hello, Paige) will geek out over the fact that he’s responsible for getting the famous Froggy 101 sticker on the set of the show. He started his career as a teen at the Scranton, Pennsylvania radio station.

So how does he stay connected?

☀️ First tap of the day: “Gmail. Everything, my TV job, my podcast job, my life, it all comes to the Gmail. So it’s like one big dumpster fire of things.”

📲 Most-used apps: “Used to be Twitter but now I think it’s Instagram. Because it’s just a little bit more of a happier social media place... I’ve always worked with social media so it’s never been a purely fun thing for me, it’s always had a work component.”

🎧 Listening to: Apple Music’s “Happy Hits” playlist and the "Politicology" podcast.

📚 Reading list: "I just started Dave Grohl’s 'The Storyteller.' Get the audiobook because he reads it."

🗄 Organization: “I layout my phone in a way that’s intentional for work.” McFly says he keeps his work apps and his personal apps on separate screens.

🔌 Tips for unplugging: McFly says he makes an effort to take his phone out of his hands and sight throughout the day to “try to be more aware of the HD screen that’s all in front of us: life.”

Today’s the day! We’d love to meet you irl at our first event starting at 8am.

We’ll have free Astro Doughnuts and coffee, and giveaways.

• Find us in an Axios-branded food truck on 7th and T streets NW.
• We’ll stick around until 11 or so.
