We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Across the US & Canada, cities are replacing aging library complexes with combined apartment + library buildings.

It's a promising way to fund new public facilities while adding housing.

A new database & details of best practices @urbaninstitute.bsky.social: www.urban.org/urban-wire/a...

We have documented several dozen examples of completed, under construction, and planned library + housing complexes across the US & Canada. They include more than 1,800 completed housing units and more on the way.

The Taylor Street Library and apartments in Chicago's Little Italy.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.

These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.
