Our reporting genuinely follows the facts. We often like to reframe questions from “what is adequate?” to “what is optimal?” Edited by @craigguriannyc.
10 years & a few months since Rikers Consent Decree was entered, conditions remain nightmarish & presiding judge is *nearly ready* to name a "Remediation Manager" -- not a more powerful "Receiver."
@NYCMayor's admin could try to help change that. Will it?

NYC and Westchester may be deep blue, and they pretend to interest in social justice, but they won't tackle residential segregation. Full stop. From Craig Gurian @antibiaslaw. @CharlesMBlow@jbouie

Past & future of affirmatively furthering fair housing: Reckoning w history of housing segregation requires understanding that those patterns emerged from a PERNICIOUS FORM OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING that intentionally excluded African Americans. @antibiaslaw

Why isn’t NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio being held to account for his discriminatory housing lottery policy (outsider-restriction) or for the city’s defending that policy on the basis of separate but equal?

@emilymbadger One simple step in #segregated NYC: move to an equal-access lottery for affordable housing opportunities. Data prove that City's current lottery policy helps racially dominant racial group in community district to detriment of others: https://t.co/7RXtToXh0u #DisparateImpact
@MaraGay How about starting right here in #segregated NYC? Data prove that City's housing lottery policy helps racially dominant racial group in community district to detriment of others. Plaintiffs have moved for summary judgment. (1/2) https://t.co/cyCI5rphTE #SeparateIsNotEqual
Very basic and sound point from @MichaelOreskes.
I have not seen counts being maintained as to hiring on either federal, state, or local level. https://t.co/V0yHsmB4EY
He wouldn't tax the wealthy to offset Covid-related revenue losses; now happy to hire his pals from McKinsey: https://t.co/cNFzmZQkRh

Nominee for misleading headline of the week: "pale echo" would have been easy fix.
Weird part: article, wrapped in enthusiasm for "innovation," really telling story of how market-fundamentalism has undermined our ability to act.

Assessment of this paper (asserting we're around 20 percent unemployment)?
Just from a comparison of how many jobless when rate was 3.5 percent, it would seem like we would easily be in the 15-20 precedent zone, no?

OPINION | How to prepare for November
The nation must secure the vote now
Say Dems cannot pass vote-by-mail or an extended-voting period. We have guidance for food shopping but not to vote. We must activate while we can. HT Craigs Gurian of @antibiaslaw

Startling new interactive maps vividly show depth & breadth of residential #segregation at state, county, census tract & census block group levels in ways most previous mapping hasn't. Extremes of segregation for African-Americans and Latinos made clear. https://t.co/flMf4aeKr3
