@PGHDistrict8 Thank you! We will forever miss Emily Hoffman and nothing can bring her back, but no other family or friend should go through the hardship we have endured. Thank you for working so tirelessly on this endeavor!
Yesterday I rode to Five Points to buy bread and once again encountered this great @PghDOMI intervention to narrow the city owned streets where they intersect with the state owned Wilkins Ave. This slows down turning cars, reduces crossing distances for peds and improving safety.
@HoffmanBethL @sbrix@erikastrassbrgr@erikastrassbrgr please follow through to continue discussion. We lost Emily (as a close friend of Em and @HoffmanBethL). I stood at the intersection for years getting kids from the sch bus. So many close calls. Then the unimaginable happened to Em. More needs done!
🔥We did it! People with disabilities are recognized as a health disparity population on the 50th anniv of the #RehabAct! Thank you to all who advocated, pushed, and were brave enough to call for change.

@AgeFriendlyPGH One of my favorite memories with my Dad is watching old Pirates games. He would go “Now, watch this great. This is history whether you ever learn it or not in school.” I have the utmost respect thanks to my Dad. Let’s go Bucs 🖤💛
@ItsAmyWhipple I am physically shaking! I have so many questions… are more kids facing adult sentences due to Shuman being closed? Are they doing trauma informed searches like when you change into a gown and so forth and they shake everything out or is this a squat and cough situation? 🤢
@rentaduckie@emilykmay I’m team muffins over here. Muffins with Loved Ones. I would happily show up for Donuts. You show up every time you can and my gosh if the kids make the treat and it’s rock hard or raw dough you sneak some Tums and pass them around and ask for seconds!
NEW: A public information request revealed the county sought to privatize Shuman Juvenile Detention Center.
But now, the county is quietly renovating the shuttered facility with millions of dollars in state funding. https://t.co/F4z5b3yMRE
The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –
I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.
Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.
