Investments in health, housing, victims services, and more can be a key part of criminal justice reform and public safety strategies. A new @urbaninstitute video shows how 10 states in the U.S. built community capacity through the #JRInitiative https://t.co/cFxAHl2AF6

Where farmers once tilled fields of cotton/wheat, wooden motorboats now chug across the festering pond ferrying people between towns that were saved from the brunt of flooding and their marooned villages. Dispatch from Dadu, with @cegoldbaum @kianahayeri https://t.co/W5tY6mrl9X

In Opinion

The lack of attention on the floods in Pakistan "is either a snide form of racism — that terrible things happen to places like Pakistan — or else an utter failure of compassion," writes @fbhutto. https://t.co/AA9Skrk2FQ

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

The flooding in Pakistan is so bad that what looks like an entire new massive lake is now visible from space

Great thread! I was blown away by the public transport options and general walkability of CDMX when I visited earlier this year! Beautiful city

For all the love that Paris is rightly getting for the pandemic transition away from cars, I am shocked that we are seeing so little about what is happening in Mexico City

So here is a thread about the best transition in North America

From @paharibakra: 4 questions states can consider for using the #JRInitiative process to address racial & ethnic disparities in criminal legal systems.

#4: How can states track data on the process’s effects on disparities? https://t.co/PxZhvflbBv

[Ammar Khalid @paharibakra]

So I wrote something work-related! It's on racial and ethnic disparities in the US criminal legal system, specifically how states can use the #JRInitiative towards addressing these disparities

"First off, the one thing that people always tell me after they’ve been at the Times for a while is that they came expecting a cutthroat culture and didn’t find it. I think that’s really sort of an older interpretation of the Times."

incredible that this Joan Didion obituary features a quote from 2009 that was taken for THIS piece! a quote from a person who is now also deceased! https://t.co/v9Rgt7koce

or do obits regularly have such old quotes (demonstrating they were actually so many years in the making)?

"In this era, the pressures for White appeasement likely do not end up with Democrats taking racist actions like they have in the past, but rather limit how anti-racist they can be."

Really loved the scenes at the end between Virat and Rizwan and Babar and thereafter between some of the younger Pakistan players and Dhoni. Beyond the hype and posturing, this is the true story of sport.
