@homeless_hero I am a student from Richmond, Va, doing a research project on a right to shelter and its effect on homeless shelter location and policy in NY. I was wondering what you think and know about where homeless shelters are placed in the city?

So here's a thread on how to combat eviction with a focus on community organizing. I wrote this #plan for a community group in #Richmond, but I believe it is applicable to other cities facing high rates of displacement.
Here's the link to the plan: https://t.co/xkmfDDj07I

They say irony is dead but master of optics Reality TV-star POTUS with 1) “gassing protesters to hold Bible & stare blankly into space in front of a church” & 2) “Covid car parade” now owns perhaps the 2 worst photo ops in presidential history. So I don’t know man. I don’t know

@RandPaul @DCPoliceDept Video shows you were NOT attacked Senator

#GeorgeFloyd was attacked
#BreonnaTaylor was attacked
#JacobBlake was attacked

When you’re in power and ignore people crying out for justice to support a man who spews hatred, prepare to be confronted

Some things are bigger than basketball. The stand taken today by the players and org shows that we’re fed up. Enough is enough. Change needs to happen. I’m incredibly proud of our guys and we stand 100% behind our players ready to assist and bring about real change

Today is about procedure at the Virginia House: GOP has blocked two attempts to covene fully online from here on out. Dem leaders are firm on the approach. It means House won’t get started on bills for another week. Senate isn’t happy.

SPECIAL SESSION ALERT: In the absence of immediate action from the federal gov't, it's our duty as state legislators to begin to make healthcare affordable through the immediate passage of a Public Option into law, pushing us closer to universal quality & affordable healthcare.

Looks like the Vermont legislature is on it's way to passing a MAJOR upzoning bill! It will be the first to pass at a state-wide level in the Eastern US. Congratulations to the people of VT!

In a nutshell: Modern-day redlining in the former capitol of the Confederacy as well as Virginia's capitol, Richmond, is well and alive.
