Excited to meet @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in person and talk about our family's journey in early intervention. I'm all for a Mayor who wants to improve service delivery. Thanks Sen Gonzalez for making it happen!

The @bmj.com's public statement to resist the CDC order for article retraction is EXACTLY what all social work journal editors should be doing right now. SW Journals will not adhere to Trump's unethical and dangerous demand for erasure of people and science.

Today, @beta.nyc's leadership team had a little post-open data week retreat to plan the next 16 months!

This is really exciting!!! @nyc311.bsky.social is FINALLY migrating to a unified login platform. This was scheduled to happen several years ago, but COVID and a particularly bad DOITT commissioner restricted NYC311 improvements.

Imagine if American public media also had a #digitalequity & #pitech lens.

Looking forward to reading this.

Seeing a flood of Claude-generated urban dashboards popping up in #civictech #pitech spaces right now, & in my feeds on X & LinkedIn. I feel inclined to repost @shannonmattern.bsky.social's excellent 2015 essay, "Mission Control: A History of the Urban Dashboard."

Here's a cool starter of Public-Interest Tech alumni from Ford, Mozilla, and MDF fellowship program.

Stay tuned, the list is still growing :)

✨ My first starter pack! It's a WIP, I'll definitely be adding to it.

But check this list out for Very Cool People who are alumni of fellowships like the Ford/Mozilla Open Web and Open Science fellowships and the Media Democracy Fund's TechExchange program (which I was part of!) go.bsky.app/MP12ryM

Obviously indivodual actions won't solve systemic fascism. But archiving webpages and downloading data is going to be key in this coming fight. Last go-round, scientists were mass downloading data off government sites. We need to do that again, looks like. 4/4

If you're looking for NYC's data, we worked with Hunter College to create NYC's Urban Heat Portal.
