Give yourself the treat of immersing yourself in the joyful, skillful evisceration @colleengrablick.bsky.social delivers here. I love a blog that makes you wonder multiple times if the ref should step in and stop the fight.

This from @colleengrablick.bsky.social is rude, unsparing, and completely factual and objective.

A packed @51st.news newsletter in your inboxes today, leading with reporting on the battles Columbia Heights' street vendors are facing trying to get licensed, a full year after they fought for decriminalization. 51st.news/a-year-after...

A year after decriminalization, Columbia Heights street vendors still can't get licensed
It’s been 16 months since D.C. created a new process to license vendors in Columbia Heights and Mount Pleasant. So why are so few vendors licensed?

Happy Friday, y'all! Not gonna lie: I'm getting nervous 😬 about reaching our goal for 2,000 paying members @51st.news by year's end. We're 287 people away. That means recruiting just over 50 new supporters a day, including today, through New Year's Eve. Can you help? A 🧵 of *some* why+how:

Disturbing reporting by @abigailhiggins.bsky.social and @colleengrablick.bsky.social for @51st.news. “There's no sense of urgency [by D.C. government] whatsoever in targeting Black men that are older,” says Ambrose Lane Jr., a health policy advocate who’s been working in the opioid space for years.

Really proud to have reported this story with @colleengrablick.bsky.social and that our small but mighty newsroom @51st.news collaborated with @nytimes.com, @thebaltimorebanner.com and six other local newsrooms across the country to co-report on the dramatic rates of overdoses among older Black men.
