The closing arguments are, American expats in Canada need to hustle and get your votes in, and if you live in the DMV, get on this bus and knock on doors in Pennsylvania.

Spearheaded by DC Justice Fellow Jessa Royer, #DCJusticeLab is pushing to implement #EarnedComplianceCredit legislation in DC. The bipartisan Safer Supervision Act supports this initiative, offering early termination for good conduct. Read more:thehill.com/opinion/crimin…

The only news channel we get aboard the ship is BBC News and it’s wild watching all the pomp and ceremony for the king’s birthday in the pouring rain. The only tradition we have in the US for celebrating Presidents Day is buying a mattress on sale. That’s just common sense!😂

Support the ex-staff of the DCist in this venture. They were tireless in serving this community, the least we can do is help them with a new name. (The DC News Union was my pitch)

Please celebrate responsibly, and consider the centuries of history this day. Most important—peace and reconciliation takes hard work, agreements to give up something, and agreements to bring conflicts to an end—but there are paths to peace. Sláinte.

The recall petition of DC Council Member Brianne K. Nadeau is a distraction from what need to be doing to increase safety in Ward 1. "Decline to sign" this recall effort, and instead, fully implement all city's plans to reduce DC's safety gaps. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

I’m watching the Ed Broadbent state funeral at @Jziedenberg’s and leaning a lot about Canadian political history. My condolences to Canadians and @NDP members.🇨🇦

Ed Broadbent was a serious champion for workers' rights who never took himself too seriously. This delightful photo from 1968 perfectly captures his spirit and humour. We’re honoured to preserve his legacy through the Ed Broadbent fonds: central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.redirect?app=… 📷 3340897

Please read the @DCJusticeLab's analysis of the Omnibus Crime Bill. If the Council of the District of Columbia enacts it as written, it will make DC less safe.

Under @CMBrookePinto's draft Secure DC bill: If a person is being chased by the police and they are ordered to drop the gun…it will be illegal for them to drop the gun. Time to redraft. Read more. dcjusticelab.org/wp-content/upl…

It’s so good that a country can be united and it’s opposition to the internet provider that is down……

Some say Canada is a broken country; that we’re divided and have too many differences. But there is one thing unites us: our collective anger when Rogers has an outage. It brings us together in shared disdain. We are one.

I am still learning new things after all these years. Public emergencies expire after 15 days without Council approval.

@JohnKRoman Fun fact @JohnKRoman . It doesn't detract from the point, but that is a picture of mall in Canada -- the Toronto Eaton Center.

This will get no traction because it's not salacious. But, the Council on Criminal Justice finds no change in shoplifting nationally between 2019 and 2023. The organized smash-and-grabs your cable TV station can't stop talking about are rare events. counciloncj.org/shoplifting-...

Among the nearly 30,000 individuals whose release has been expedited by the First Step Act, nearly nine in every 10 have not been rearrested or incarcerated. sentencingproject.org/policy-brief/t…

3+ years ago, the Mayor's Juvenile Justice Advisory Group recommended a robust plan for community-based services to support youth & address behavior like curfew violations w/o system involvement. The report, like many others, was ignored. #carenotcontrol

Why aren't we following the research: DC's curfew for young people won't make us safer.
DC Justice Lab@DCJusticeLab
“A study…tested the effect of Washington D.C.’s juvenile curfew on gun violence...The authors found that gunfire incidents were significantly more frequent when the curfew was in effect. Curfews remove bystanders and witnesses from the streets...” themarshallproject.org/2018/07/31/the…

Looks like D.C. will be enforcing a juvenile curfew in designated areas of the city. There's already a curfew law on the books, but it isn't widely or consistently enforced. Many years ago it would often be enforced more strictly during the summer months.

Good news for Navy Yard! @MayorBowser @DCPoliceDept announce juvenile curfews enforcement to go into effect. @NavyYardCrime

DC, are you upset about the recycling of failed “super predator” era policies? Dissatisfied with fear-based lawmaking? Come to the MLK Library on 7/29 at 2 pm to engage with dedicated DC natives who have been working on prevention and healing on the ground!
