Black dc, you think gentrification is bad,
Once they get statehood this city taxes will be higher than California and New York combined. You know what that means? Redistricting back to md/va.
This will be a disaster for black DC and the mayor will not care.


Ps the only thing mayor bowser wants is to be governor. She will sweep the homeless out to md/va faster than she does now. Oh ps she also dumps her problems in va when it comes to vaccines and gave under age children the right to inoculations w/o parents consent.
1/11 A real problem is the notion that there is something called 'objectivity.' This is a myth. There is no theory--not a single one--of truth that withstands scrutiny. We don't know what truth is and can never know.


2/11 Qualitative scholars, including critical theorists, acknowledge their own social locations relative to the subjects at hand, empowering readers to ferret out not so much bias as the perspective from which authors perceive their topics. It's a necessary honesty.

3/11 We should note here further that quantitative scholars do not escape bias. They are merely excused from the requirement to talk or even think about that bias.

Numbers *never* tell a whole story. Statistics are about aggregates.

Economists are coming to understand this even if politicians choose not to.

Records we obtained show some state officials were “absolutely apoplectic” about the mailer.

The mailers told voters to "request your mail in ballot... at least 15 days before Election Day." But that’s inaccurate for Americans living in the nine states and District of Columbia that automatically mail ballots to registered voters.

Colorado Sec. of State Jena Griswold sued USPS, arguing the mailer attempted to disenfranchise voters with misleading information. We asked the Colorado State Dept. for emails with USPS in anticipation of widespread use of mail-in ballots in the election.

Here’s what the records we uncovered show:

Colorado’s state election director Judd Choate told USPS Director of Election and Political Mail Justin Glass that he was “absolutely apoplectic about the pre-election postcard I just learned about...”


”How could this be sent without someone considering that several states don’t have absentee voters? How could it be sent without consulting even one election official? Please pass along that this mailing will generate literally thousands of calls, emails, and texts...”
