@ConEdison So @ConEdison any news? Still no gas or any clue as to when it will be turned back on. @nycdistrict1

@FaizaPatelBCJ Please DM us your name and best contact number so that we may have our Gas Operations Department reach out with an update. ~ DG

Hey @ConEdison you turned off the gas to our building FIVE DAYs ago. Any plan to turn it back on? cc @nycdistrict1

@awinston Hi Ali! Long time.

Since NY Newsday folded, there's been no reason for the Sulzbergers to care about Metro. Ignorance of NYC is widespread: when I worked there, editors put the *City Hall* subway stop in BK But this is pure engagement farming, straight from the 2014 digital innovation report

@ConEdison Yes. And hot water!

@FaizaPatelBCJ Thank you for that information. Is this for the cooking gas? ~ DG

@ConEdison Sent.

@FaizaPatelBCJ Good morning Faiza. Please DM us your full exact address so that we may look into this for you. ~ DG

9/9 Looking ahead: Biden should order all Federal law enforcement agencies to adopt & put in place process to monitor implementation. They need to show that the new std isn't simply the old std in different words & improve their record of targeting communities of color.

8/9 Implementation will be key. Not clear what, if anything, was done to operationalize 2014 guidance. This one has important benchmarks & designated implementation coordinator. DOJ seems serious about this part, which is good.

1/9 Today DOJ released a revised racial profiling policy, as part of a slew of actions required by President Biden's EO of a year ago. The policy is pretty long and requires thorough analysis, but here are a few initial thoughts. justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

DOJ has made some upgrades to its racial profiling policy, but the new rules leave too much room for bias, says @faizapatelBCJ. "Too many Americans will still experience discrimination unless the department ensures this grey area isn’t abused." bit.ly/3Wz6S9o

Today @FaizaPatelBCJ & I detail challenges the NYPD Inspector General faces in effectively overseeing the police: its reporting has waned, it lacks a permanent leader, the police have stonewalled investigations, & its influence & autonomy have declined. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…

The US government's depiction of domestic #counterterrorism efforts is misleading, write @FaizaPatelBCJ and Charles Kurzman. Based on information from a FOIA lawsuit, the authors identify problems with how @TheJusticeDept handles these types of cases. justsecurity.org/86456/u-s-dome…

Judge Moss found that 19 out of 20 cases he reviewed did not involve terrorism but were mostly personal disputes, concluding that the government’s representation of its counterterrorism efforts is “vastly overstated.” @FaizaPatelBCJ & Charles Kurzman: justsecurity.org/86456/u-s-dome…

"New Yorkers deserve a police department that keeps them safe and isn’t afraid to be held accountable," @FaizaPatelBCJ and @iveydyson. write. "Without a strong inspector general, that’s not what they’ll get" cityandstateny.com/opinion/2023/0…
