I left after this. It’s pretty clear Cville PD can’t guarantee the data isn’t abused. It’s not clear that the costs of Flock are at all worth the benefits.

I’m at the Friends of Downtown Community meeting to skeet about the Flock pilot program results.

Follow this thread for the details 👇

Oddly worded for sure! Utterly spineless and not an actual endorsement. Jeffries is just stating facts: Mamdani is the dem nominee and supports various issues that he also also sometimes supports and literally nothing else. So gross.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

One food bank in Virginia saw a 65% increase in visitors since last year, more than at the height of the pandemic.

“We thought it would come back down and it hasn’t,” the food bank’s chief philanthropy officer said. “It keeps growing.”

hi charlottesville! if you're voting in the city school board election this november, there are four candidates running for three seats. here's where they stand on the return of police to our schools:

Hope folks will stop by the @cvilledsa.bsky.social table at Sabroso today. I have sustained a zine folding injury making sure there’s lots of great lit and info.

Looks divine!!!!!

In case you’re wondering where the 4 city school board candidates (for 3 spots) stand on SRO’s:

A lot! Albemarle has few resources for unhoused folks. They have not invested in affordable housing to the extent Charlottesville has, and they have few emergency vouchers + no hotel stays for community members experiencing homelessness. Let them know you care about this issue and want change!

That’s how it starts!!!

1.4M of the nation's poorest renters risk losing their homes with Trump's proposed HUD time limit A Trump administration proposal could put more than a million low-income households at risk of losing their government-subsidized housing.

Amid a worsening national affordable housing and homelessness crisis, the administration's proposed HUD changes include a two-year limit on the federal government’s signature rental assistance programs. @apnews.com

Unhoused families are less visible in our community, but I promise you, they are here and they’re struggling. Please pitch in if you can!

Definitely a rough adjustment! It took me a good six months to adjust to my 8:30-5 life.

There’s a potato museum on Prince Edward Island, but I didn’t get the chance to visit when I was there. I did have the best potatoes of my life in PEI.

Counterpoint:

The so-called paper of record published an opinion piece stating that if Israel had *really* wanted to commit genocide, they would have done a more thorough job. This, while the people of Gaza literally starve to death. What kind of world is this? I don’t have words.

Indeed.

Sadly for me, this conflicts with an unmissable HRC meeting and I am so bummed! I will see what I can do to turn other folks out!

I want to grow a coral honey suckle! I tried with some foraged seeds a few years back, but it did not work

Thanks, y’all! Excited to be a housing “analyst” now!

When people see folks drowning and feel powerless and ill-equipped to save them, they sometimes fight over how to describe the water. It's worth resisting this impulse.

Jim Ryan should have resigned in May 2024. He should not have resigned today.
