Billions of gallons of raw sewage from Philly are released into the Delaware annually A new report suggests local waterways could be unsafe for recreation for more than half the year due to the sewage overflows.

Philadelphia and Camden discharge billions of gallons of raw, diluted sewage into the Delaware River’s watershed each year, a new report says.

We're two weeks out from Virginia's election. Almost no state's electorate has realigned as much as Virginia's over the past decades. When Mark Warner won the 2001 Gov. election, he did so with a coalition that included the Western coal counties and Hampton Roads, but mostly lost NOVA. 1/x

Let me connect you w/ a contact - DM me your current email address. He’s an Marine vet and offers firearms training for marginalized people, believes in abolition, etc. If he doesn’t have wheelchair specific knowledge, he may know someone who does.

‘The shining star of our family’: R&B singer D’Angelo passes away at age 51 Musicians including Jill Scott and Tyler, the Creator, remembered D'Angelo as a 'genius' as tributes poured in.

Early map of the District of Columbia and tribal areas in navy ink on a white background. It appears to show the 1792 boundaries of Washington city, the District, and the Potomac and Anacostia rivers and where indigenous tribes live. It shows the Wacotchtank — an alternative spelling of the Nacotchtank residing in present-day Anacostia. The map also shows various indigenous quarries (Piney Branch, Rose Hill) in Northwest DC.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the Native American communities who first called DC home, including the Nacotchtank, Piscataway, Powhatan, and Pamunkey peoples.
 
We pay tribute to their strength and ongoing contributions despite the painful injustices they have endured.

What a legendary moment from one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

-Anne Frank 1/13/1943

Important reporting out of Philadelphia, on the horrific tactics one landlord used to harass his tenants, which ultimately resulted in two lives lost.

Yes, for sure: many Black middle class households began departing in the mid-late 60s.

In the previous tweet (tweet…? 🤷🏽‍♀️), I meant that - by the 90s/2000s - my relatives were attributing white flight to the ‘68 riots, despite having lived through the phenomenon in the 50s. Memory is interesting.

Anacostia Segregation, Desegregation, Resegregation

More on the EotR white flight story in the digital exhibit: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/3f76...

I heard that myth too, even from Black relatives who were DC residents then.

For the Right to the City exhibit @ Smithsonian Anacostia, we scanned yearbook pics from the Sumner School DCPS archives. Compare Sousa MS, East of the River, ‘55 v ‘60. Enforced school integration spurred DCs white flight

I don’t think so. That line says “Real Senate opposition,” not Beal.

Relevant for today: these 1978 notes from my dad’s papers in the Carter Administration, assessing many Senators’ oppositions to extending DC voting representation in Congress: “too liberal, too Democratic, too Black, too urban.”

“Their move [to the Antelope Valley] illustrated how LA's shifting geography of war production reshaped the geography of the Black community.”

Highly recommend @rahimk.bsky.social’s Indefensible Spaces. He expands the map of Black Los Angeles w/ a regional lens on spatial justice. #BlackGeographies

…only one L.A. County fire truck was west of Lake Avenue, where nearly all of the deaths took place.”

Rest in power Benito Flores, one of my most fearless teachers from the streets in the Los Angeles housing justice movement. His clear understanding of systemic injustice and his tenacity of spirit inspired countless people, and his death will not be in vain.

Read his final interview here:

Striking Philly workers hit the picket lines; trash pickup is suspended; city sues to force some workers back AFSCME DC 33 and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker couldn't agree on a new contract.

Thousands of city workers in Philly, from sanitation workers to medical assistants to water department employees, went on strike today. @inquirer.com is running a liveblog with the latest developments: www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

Feeling unexpectedly emotional while packing. A surreal moment to be moving away from the City of Angels. These books + this place have taught me so much.
