U.S. political appointees roll back enforcement of Fair Housing Act. Letters, memos and internal documents reviewed by The New York Times show that the Trump administration has repeatedly referred to civil rights work in housing as "not a priority of the administration."

@Gladwell Malcolm, you have the wrong young Washington Post reporter, the wrong year, and the wrong number of women in the police parade. #correction

40 years ago a young Washington Post reporter stumbled on the DC police marching 100 prostitutes across the 14th ST bridge in the middle of the night. The reporter’s name? Jeffrey Goldberg. LEGEND

Wait. It turns out that I got the history of the famous 14th street prostitutes march slightly wrong! The march was discovered by another intrepid Postie—Bill Dedman—and Goldberg was dispatched to the scene by the city desk. Added to the chat, as it were. urldefense.com/v3/__https://w…$

@Gladwell The Washingtonian article gives a good summary: I stumbled onto the prostitutes march, and called the desk for a photographer. The editors also sent the police reporter, the very same Jeffrey Goldberg. I've had lucky days, but have never been added to a group text at the WH!

@Gladwell Malcolm, here are links that get it right: scribd.com/document/43898… and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_DC_P…

HUD choked funding to enforce fair-housing laws, without explanation. Fair housing groups may not survive. Fair Housing Act is still the law, but who will enforce it? A lawsuit alleges the Trump cuts are unlawful, and that DOGE exceeded its authority. -- NPR

@Ariq19802 Hi, Tariq. The latest updates are in a talk that I did for the @SBHistoryMuseum, when Huguette Clark's paintings went on display there. See on YouTube at youtu.be/eNbcmc-yvLY?fe…

"You shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the feelings of the stranger, having yourselves been strangers in the land of Egypt. ... When strangers reside with you in your land, you shall not wrong them.... You shall love them as yourself."

@edwereddie We figured out from family members that this is not Huguette Clark in the photo. It's her niece pictured with W.A. Clark, not Huguette. So this photo shows grandfather and granddaughter. And we can spot facial differences. Compare with photos of Huguette: emptymansionsbook.com/life-and-famil…
