Give this a listen. I was hesitant at first but this really makes sense.
Single stair 🤝 parking reform

Connecticut’s now a national leader in parking flexibility, if the upcoming single stair codes are modernized we’ll have a recipe for infill housing on those hard-to-build lots in our towns and cities
Pew's main findings:
- Newer multifamily is safer than older multifamily
- Newer multifamily is safer than newer single-family
- Single-stair multifamily buildings are as safe as buildings with two stairwells

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Nice article on the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), a group focused on providing scientific evidence to inform public-health policy...maybe scientists can actually save public health in America 🤞

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a reminder to take care of ourselves and each other. Schedule that mammogram, check in on loved ones, and keep spreading awareness. 💗

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

I work part time for Instacart. This shit better not come to Connecticut. I like the freedom to do it whenever I want to pick up some extra cash, especially around Xmas time. This will do nothing but make it too costly for people to use meaning less deliveries for me.
California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions.

This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.
California reaches deal with Uber, Lyft to allow gig worker unions

I don’t want to say our housing bill is dead, it’s just gone missing. We’ve issued a Silver Alert with the hope it reappears again soon.

Probably jealously visiting all of the other new housing bills around the country that are now law.

Donald Trump violated the Constitution when he bombed Iran. Only Congress can declare war.

I'm headed to vote for @kaine.senate.gov's War Power Resolution to rein Trump in.

Americans didn't vote for another endless war in the Middle East.

Today at Pride in Bridgeport, constituents of Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) confronted him about his appearance beside warmonger Lindsey Graham. He refused to condemn Israeli attacks on civilians in Iran & Palestine, shortly before Trump ordered US strikes. No war with Iran!

Goddamn, seeing Jahana Hayes and Joe Courtney on this list has me like...the fuck is wrong with these two? Worse yet, Hayes is from my home city. She's seen what conservative policies do to vulnerable places and people.

These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE.

Big Beautiful Bullshit Bill.
The "big beautiful bill" that the House GOP placed before the Senate is a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest.

- The bottom 20% will see their income DECLINE BY 10%.

- The top 0.1% will get a GIGANTIC WINDFALL.

BREAKING: Billionaires in America now hold a record $7 TRILLION in wealth.

That's a $4.1 TRILLION increase since the last Trump tax scam.

Republicans are now pushing a budget to give billionaires more tax breaks, paid for by cuts to healthcare and food assistance.

Insanity.
