The reason a famous person joins this site to post against trans people during Pride Month is not because they want ti engage in a healthy debate.
Itās because they want to goad you into saying something that could send you to jail.

So in the end what counts as "affordable" once these deals are made can be quite distorted. Check the "income levels served" for the "affordable" units you can enter a lotto for in these buildings.

In contrast, at least FOUR of Lander's other opponents in the mayoral raceāZohran Mamdani, Adrienne Adams, Scott Stringer, and Michael Blakeāhave showed up to support Lander at the site where he was arrested.

āYou donāt have the authority to arrest US citizens,ā Lander said. āIām not obstructing, I am standing right here in the hallway. ā¦ You donāt have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant.ā

Moving open-ended responses, too.
"My offense blocks me from almost every volunteer gig that works with people. Isolation is real when you can't even hand out soup."
"It's like I'm being punished all over again."
"I try to move on but restrictions keep dragging me back."

This may be because we HAVE some services/programs/support for things like housing, jobs, health care. Those are the big things reentry orgs try to address. So the needs that are important but unmet will bubble to the top - social wellbeing, having third spaces to exist in, finding community.

Yeah, we have a "not applicable to me" category I'll need to deal with, but that's fine, I think I could just set those off to the side or set them as the bottom category and grey it out. I'll play around with it!

Oh, sorting them is a great idea, that would help the organization prioritize the items that people most strongly agreed were concerns. Okay, maybe I just need to get over myself and do the stacked bar approach š

Horizontal for sure. I like the idea of collapsing into three, that makes it more legible for me. I usually struggle to interpret them because there's just so much info.

That or a shaded grid where I have the % for each response and then use color to draw attention to the highest categories..?

I was thinking stacked bar but tbh I kinda hate stacked anything.

Judge Young cont: "It is palpably clear these directives and the set of terminated grants here also are designed to frustrate, to stop research that may bear on the healthāwe are talking about health hereāthe health of Americans. Of our LGBTQ community. That's appalling."
