San Quentin prison had no #COVID cases until new arrivals brought it in. Over half population have since tested positive (2,150) & 17 dead. Here's an inside story about what it's like there. It was a privilege to work w/Joe on his vital story & thanks @PostOpinions for sharing it
"Listening to my new neighbors in Carson, I could hear anger, pain, frustration. Some of these guys had been stuck here for months."

Trump’s team BS’d a judge last night in asking for time to remove Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center. It was a delay tactic so the scaffolding and tarp could be ready in the wee hours to block the public’s view of the removal. Once the tarp was up the name came down in minutes.
NEWS: DCA is currently on a ground stop and has been temporarily closed “for an event.”
Planes set to land at DC’s airport have alerted their passengers.
This comes after we at @MeidasTouch reported pilots are filing safety reports due to the lights from Trump’s UFC octagon.
There is so much in this video. The end of the best NBA comeback ever by the @nyknicks. Ever. The most famous singer songwriter @taylorswift13 on the edge of the video. And Mariska Hargitay is pretty much the first person on the court celebrating. Well done @BenStiller sir.
Not enough people are talking about this.
A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there.
But the story of how he got it is even worse.
County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent.
That is absolutely insane.
Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it.

@joshjacobsondc@oucmecalling311 I used 311 to request trash pickup for missed collection a couple of weeks ago and DPW just closed the request without doing anything except picking up the trash the following week. Wheels are falling off.
Hey @311DCgov - this is how @DCDPW is now responding to missed recycling collection 311 requests. They CLOSE it w/o doing anything. So I now have 2 weeks worth of recycling that won’t get picked up until Thursday. Who knows if they’ll touch the overflowing pile. Very frustrating.
