Tonight, we’re donating $5,000 USD to support Ukraine.

If you’re feeling the same way, channel it into action - donate to organizations like UWC and others making a real impact.

Congestion pricing in New York City is a month old. What are the results? Less crime as subway ridership up, less cars, less traffic, more people walking around, and increasing popularity. Here's a thread of recent stories about it.

One more source: a prisoner who was a firefighter and speaks from personal experience. bsky.app/profile/hahn...
I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.

Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

A thread.
