I’m old enough to remember when this “gentrification building” was “only for the rich”. 10 years later and the rent is completely in line with what a 2 bed 2 bath in the Elmwood Village rents for. If you want affordable housing, build it 10 years ago, or build MR now and wait.

The Trump-Stormy Daniels story got caught and killed earlier in 2011
The Trump-Stormy Daniels story got caught and killed earlier in 2011
When trial began, prosecutors told jurors that then-Stormy lawyer Keith Davidson asked Dylan Howard on election night when it seemed Trump would win: "What have we done?" This is the text message exchange. Howard replied: "Oh my god." Stay tuned for the afternoon session. 🧵
To pay Stormy, Donald ordered his team - to create a shell company - to come up with fake names for the agreement - to come up with fake invoices for repaying Cohen NOT to hide it from Melania. This was to hide it from campaign finance regulators, journalists, and all of us.
NEW: In the first row of Trump's side of the gallery post lunch? Ken Paxton.

So the campus protesters have the support of the national College Democrats and also the Fairfax County Democratic Party. These are the foot soldiers of the party’s mainstream power structure. The party leadership is utterly isolated.

NEW: A felony charge against a Fox 7 Austin photographer have been dismissed, his attorney, Gerry Morris confirms. The DPS detective in the case withdrew a warrant after acknowledging it did not allege a felony crime but could later resubmit it later, Morris said.
This either a challenge to SNL or it’s an opportunity for someone to do a reboot/reenvisioning of wry, observational comedy among thirtysomethings on the Upper West Side.

Worth stopping for a minute to appreciate the fact that we've completely normalized banning peaceful protests & calling in militarized riot police to violently arrest the protesters. Trump is a dangerous symptom. But he's not the disease.

The legendary origin of the phrase "chancing your arm" is a brilliant story from Dublin in 1492. The Butlers of Ormonde and the FitzGeralds of Kildare were involved in a violent land feud. The Butlers retreated to the sanctuary of St Patrick's Cathedral, with the FitzGeralds in…

Columbia: A shelter in place order was just sent to all Columbia students. They responded by leaving their dorms to watch whatever is about to happen.
Not only is unleashing the police state on student protesters straining resources, it’s not working. It grows crowd size exponentially putting more students at risk, creates more unrest & then just repeats.
Travis County attorney says the high volume of arrests of protesters at UT Austin is straining court resources, encourages de-escalation. More⬇️
I’m old enough to remember when this “gentrification building” was “only for the rich”. 10 years later and the rent is completely in line with what a 2 bed 2 bath in the Elmwood Village rents for. If you want affordable housing, build it 10 years ago, or build MR now and wait.
Half of all *market-rate* rental housing built since 2010 in Sacramento is affordable at 80% AMI and fully 9 out of 10 units are affordable at 120% AMI. We should be honest that "workforce" affordable housing programs are almost certainly a distraction
According to Columbia by-laws, police are not supposed to be allowed on campus without the consent of the faculty. President Shafik does *not* have our approval for this raid; she has not even asked our approval. This promises to be a horrifying dereliction of faculty governance

Post the last monarch you/your ancestors have lived under.
This is why these students are launching their encampments. This is what those in power are trying to distract us from.
THREAD: Mass graves of Palestinians killed by Israel are being uncovered at hospitals in Gaza. Here’s what you need to know.
If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents. Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making. I urge the Mayor to reverse course.
NEW - @NYCMayor says Columbia protest has been "co-opted" and is going to share their intel, he says at 1 Police Plaza. He advises students involved in the protest to leave the area and tells parents to tell their kids to leave "before the situation escalates."
If you are this wildly inconsistent on free speech matters, then you probably don't actually respect free speech all that much.
The @SPLC has put out a 20-point guide for journalists on how they can maintain their rights when protesting. I’ve gone through each point & added a few ideas, & applied what I’ve learned in terms of journalist safety both here and abroad. New on Chills: chills.substack.com/p/your-rights-…
James Cameron: "In Star Wars the good guys are the rebels, they're using asymmetric warfare against a highly organized empire, I think we call those guys terrorists today." George Lucas: "When I did it they were Vietcong. That was the whole point."

.@WKCRFM reporter a few moments ago: "Frankly, no one here is left to document what may happen at Hamilton Hall"
NYPD can be seen clearing student press away from Hamilton Hall, and telling students to go back to the dorms:
These kids are infinitely better, and braver, than all the adults that failed them.
Gotta wonder about the people who are only ever concerned about the 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 threat of fascism, the 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 of creeping authoritarianism, the 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 of violence, all while studiously avoiding what's already here.
The new law @GovAbbott signed in 2019 protecting free speech on Texas college campuses specifically includes non-students.
New: 46 of 77 people arrested at UT yesterday were not students, a UT official tells KXAN.
Universities, like Columbia, must ask themselves, “under what conditions would they permit the police to kill one of its students or one of its faculty members. Is Columbia willing to have police kill one of its students today? That is the gamble they’re taking.
.@WKCRFM reporters were audibly emotional on air as they reflect on news that the university has asked NYPD to stay on campus until May 17th.
Columbia University's student radio station @WKCRFM has a "wildly unprecedented" online listenership right now as its field reporters offer updates on the campus protest. Listen to the coverage: cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/#
