a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

This is the dream folks. Opening streets to people who’ve been pushed off the streets by cars.
😃Because of the new Court Street bike lane in Brooklyn, I rode a bike on NYC streets for the 1st time in 25+ years.
Court Street bike lane ==> I can ride to my place in a protected lane, where previously Court Street was a dangerous mess*. The cars aren’t speeding anymore, either! 😃

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.
