Again, a moment to pause & appreciate the cool professionalism of those in & around the Key Bridge at 1:24 am Tuesday.

Ship’s pilot radios in that ship has lost steerage & will hit bridge.

Someone (maritime control?) transmits urgent alert to Maryland/Balt police dispatch…

I'm with @AnandWrites: "There’s actually very few countries in the world that are trying to build a strong multi-racial democracy…We are trying to do an extraordinary thing. I would love to hear us talk about that more, & offer it as a vision that is more thrilling” than GOP’s👏

'Alexia: please visualise the priorities of US transport planners.'

Yes, that is actually a bike path!
Yes, those are actually 8 lanes for car drivers!

I don't think this follows. In most recent elections, Democrats lost ground in rural areas but gained in the suburbs. Last night, they lost ground in the suburbs too. That's different and it's worth asking why (and, yes, the answers are probably complicated and multi-causal).

Over 50% of people released from state prisons are ending up in shelters." It’s time to fix this @StephenLevin33 @NYCSpeakerCoJo with the #FairChanceForHousing Act #Intro2047. Listen to @AAWardSR1 on @Met_Council’s Housing Notebook on @WBAI https://t.co/tMNQZAsQXm @CSHInfo

Thank you for your editorial @mcottle on the need for nursing home reform. To your point of the majority of Americans wanting to age in place, how do you see resources like supportive housing fitting in? @CSHInfo https://t.co/7Ra51HZW14

[Cassondra Warney @cassondrawarney]

According to a survey by @SafeandJustUSA, survivors prefer the gov’t spend more money on prevention over policing & prison.” Housing is prevention. An added bonus: #FairChanceForHousing #Intro2047 doesn’t cost @NYCSpeakerCoJo anything. https://t.co/gRrp8dbyxv @CSHInfo

LISTEN: #Intro2047 the #FairChanceForHousing Act would further racial justice, says @JacquieSimone of @NYHomeless on @WNYC @BrianLehrer. 2/3rds of the @NYCCouncil are leaving this year: what will their legacy be? @NYCSpeakerCoJo @StephenLevin33 @CSHInfo

A conviction reduces the probability that landlords will allow prospective tenants to even VIEW an apartment by more than 50%. How does denying Hilton housing make any of us safer? Tell @NYCSpeakerCoJo to pass #Intro2047 #FairChanceForHousing Act: https://t.co/N6bnqIH4Yu @CSHInfo

[Cassondra Warney @cassondrawarney]

Today, 61 faith leaders & congregations across NYC called on @NYCSpeakerCoJo to move #Intro2047 the #FairChanceForHousing Act to a vote – read more from Rabbi @BaratEllman in @amNewYork: https://t.co/2UH03KPifK @FairHousing_NYC @CSHInfo

750,000 NYC residents have convictions - and 80 PERCENT are Black or Latinx. We can never put an end to NYC neighborhoods’ racial disparities without eliminating racist background checks in housing. @NYCSpeakerCoJo: Pass #Intro2047, the #FairChanceForHousing Act. #JuneTeenth2021
