@bikepractically Would that MiTrain have any private partners? What about major shipping businesses that would've benefited? Could be a great source of motivated allies to restart the push!

@srchengn We need to import the siesta into American culture now!

@AnarchistMikey @CraigDMauger Excellent question!

[Critical Youth Theory @YouthCritical]

@CraigDMauger We say no to all businesses that want to profit off of and not serve our community!

How could you sleep at night if you can't run your business without running the risk of the deaths of innocent people.

How do you sleep comfortably in a bed a murderer bought for you?

Michigan senators revised one of their gun reform proposals Thursday to remove legal immunity protections for gun sellers and manufacturers.

A critic said the change “has the potential to shut down every gun store in the state.” https://t.co/n2pwVOVWS2

Excellent article @HayesWaymond

Detroit nonprofit leader asks: Where are the men in education? https://t.co/nW9uIf6hzY

[Critical Youth Theory @YouthCritical]

@BridgeDet313 As a quick test of our cultural values, who can reply saying they'd even heard of the HEAL acronym before?

[Critical Youth Theory @YouthCritical]

@BridgeDet313 We focus a lot on STEM/STEAM, but neglect the need for diversity in the HEAL fields. (Health, Education, Administration, and Literacy)

There are surely systems and structures in place that feed into this.

But first, we should get to the root of the narratives behind it.

Taking a break from the FOTR board meeting, and @ryanginard came to mind. "Sometimes you have to make your own luck, and sometimes you have to fight against adversity to forge your own future." #CriticalYouthTheory

I work in artificial intelligence and I'm here to say - can we make this a bus lane instead?

[Detroit Documenters @DetDocumenters]

Detroit hired lawyers and placed them in landlord/tenant courts, preventing 10,000 evictions.

The 36th District Court stopped hearing eviction cases in March 2020, and a federal moratorium on evictions began in September 2020. (1/2)

Really curious to know what these numbers really mean.

1. 31% poverty in the city, especially when unemployment is at 7% is not a good number at all. And this is the best number we have had in 17 years.

2. Are we really becoming wealthier or are some just leaving the city?

[Detroit Documenters @DetDocumenters]

Mayor Duggan mentioned Detroit having the lowest poverty rate in 17 years. We've found that in 2005, Detroit's poverty rate was 31%. In 2021 there were also 31% of Detroiters living in poverty. https://t.co/K37KFchD3F

[Detroit Documenters @DetDocumenters]

Mayor Duggan claimed Detroit's unemployment rate has dropped below 7% for the first time since 2000. Our fact-checkers have determined it has dropped, but it is in part because the number of people looking for a job has dropped, not that more people are employed. (Source below)
