I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years. This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Waterloo is poised to approve (I'm 100% certain this will pass) a plan to add over 1k affordable/attainable homes on city owned land on Monday. With a financial commitment of at least $20 million on the city's end, this is remarkable for a lower tier municipality.🧵 www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
