@AkivaMCohen That's only part of the issue, though. Many authority figures in schools don't trust their students to tell them the truth about family situations. That's entirely on the authorities. Way too often, relationships with students are nearly adversarial. Power is often abused.

@PragmaticMojo @NidaAllam @JacobsforDurham @hlhcarter @DurhamPublicSch @DurhamCounty @pmubenga @CarolinaNatalie @Comunidaddedur1 Stop wearing pants. You were merely programmed to wear them when you were young. They serve no purpose. I think you are better off without them.

Well, I haven't been a citizen of a country I live in for 32 years. In a few weeks, I'll be voting for @Javiera4Durham , because immigrants need representation. And for @khalilah4durham , @carlfordurham , and @khalilah4durham , because they know that too.

This was a truly low moment at Council yesterday. So much implied xenophobia and racism, spoken in a droning monotone by one older white lady.

@madirishfrog This is just so...dumb. I just don't understand what they could possibly have been thinking. It's such an obvious abuse of power, and for such ridiculous reasons.

See, this is where I think the yimbys overstate their case. It's less that @LeoForDurham is wrong here than that this ignores very valid concerns, especially environmental and sustainability issues.

Tonight was another example of how people with roofs over their heads have so much to say on why we need to slow down housing and control people moving here., etc. It’s simply amazing how some residents from the most privileged neighborhoods are the biggest NIMBYs.

@matt_lardie Good. Churches can build affordable housing. Having said that, I'm concerned about religious institutions profiting off rent - while it's illegal to discriminate around housing, I'm concerned that de facto, we may see issues for LGBTQ folks, etc.

More revenue means a larger tax base. To get a larger tax base, we need more people. More people means more housing. Yet @DeDreanaFreeman , @CMMoniqueHyman , and @MayorEONeal keep trying to kill any substantial development that would both expand the tax base and provide housing.

@revhowardarson You might want to read the Hebrew press. Israel only committed to having the weapons be handed out by the police or army, and to declare the militias as being support forces for them. In practice, the same militias are being armed with the same weapons.
