Whether or not you already know some of the story of highways tearing thru Black neighborhoods, it’s arresting to see the literal footprints stamp out homes, businesses, churches & schools in city after city. Stunning work by @rachaeldottle, @mslaurabliss, @pabloroblesg

But in the 1960s, around 20 square blocks in the heart of Miami's Overtown neighborhood were destroyed by a new highway interchange.

Hundreds of homes and businesses were demolished and around 10,000 people were relocated and displaced in the process.

If you're in the market for something stimulating to do tonight in #DC, come see @re_ari in a conversation about his new novel and environmentalism. You'll probably learn something new about the roots of the US environmental movement! https://t.co/8zpha6Hb34

we analyzed more than 15k flight records to get a sense of how the nypd uses its helicopters. we found that under mayor eric adams they're flying more than any period over the past five years, leaving the city more and spending more money on operations https://t.co/bF1uy02wED
