reminds me of the condo owners on the green line who delayed construction by saying they feared vibrations would cause their building, which was built as a grain elevator next to freight trains, to fall down. all while living there and they don’t dare mention this in their million dollar listings

Today is 9 months since Renee Good was shot in the head by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who then walked away calling her a "fucking bitch". Afterwards, agents refused to allow a physician at the scene to render aid. No one has been held responsible for the killing. chaddavis.photography/sets/ice-in-...

Today, disgraced border commander Gregory Bovino was sued by the family of Renee Good. On the day Good was killed, he showed up within a hour to stand in front of cameras. While calling himself "Mean Green", he claims he showed up so others didn't "contaminate a crime scene".

Crazy, that almost sounds like criminal negligence or some such. Like a human crime. You know, like the olden days when sometimes even rich people had to follow laws.

when we talk about overtime costs i think someone should also look at why we send like 50 cops to every single call.. you never see just one squad or 1 officer anywhere. it's always the entire department.

sometimes trains are built for the future not for today... not to suggest we're just like NYC but building transit for the future often means you build it where theres substantial opportunities for growth, and thats exactly what we have here now we need to get started on the uptown line!

Prior to MPD murdering George Floyd, I was already years into a photo project covering the new train line. Believe me when I say I wish I hadn't been... derailed. Tomorrow, Metro Transit will announce the opening date for the SWLRT at this location, now the Louisiana Ave Green Line Station.

Pretty surprised Metro Transit has been able to keep the opening date for the Green Line Extension under wraps. They’ll announce this tomorrow at 10am at the new Louisiana Station.
