The irony is that the problem becomes cheaper once you allocate money to the right places. Housing-first (and wraparound care) is absolutely the most effective and cheapest option but even more progressive pols don’t lean into it
I’m more optimistic about our new mayor but there is still a citywide reluctance to talk about the heart of the problem: money.
Solving homelessness is extremely expensive. There’s a lot you can do at the municipal level but big gains require massive tax increases or federal/state help.

zero likes…kind of feel bad for this person. kind of.
And this is how we get Trump. Do. Not. Split. Even when you're furious. Especially when we're furious. Understand the gravity of the moment. We're not supporting him. We're supporting the fight against masked agents pulling people off of the street and children starving to death.
I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

repubs are calling it ‘the bris of death’
Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.
"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

The Vinland Saga artist seems as cool as you'd hope he'd be.
![Yukimura: I did have written characters in [Vinland Saga] from a marginalized ethnic group [and] who are LGBTQ featured here. I actually wanted to portray a character with a disability in the story, too. However, because of the setting, I really couldn’t find the right place to incorporate such a character into the story. One thing I really don’t understand, though, is why do people attack such folks? Is it because they’re different? Why do they just focus on bad things about these groups and generalize them? I truly don’t understand why people do such things. I plainly feel sad when it comes to the way people treat each other.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vy6xpujujv3lmlrwuhplzq2q/bafkreibohxgefettpv6w7ezs73cj3krv4fctje4tr6om3xlqffvipc6lnu@jpeg)

love to selectively give a shit about the rules and change them to be a transphobe
There's the substance of the signal issue, and then there's the pattern of behavior that jay was responding to -- the constant, _constant_ off topic responses that make this tedious.
On the substance, it's really just that the guy didn't violate the ToS. I'm sorry, that's just it

We really need to stop treating these political post-mortems credulously. This did not happen. There is 0% chance she opposed the Gazan siege in any meaningful sense, and frankly if she did, this makes her look just as bad if not worse.
I read the "Biden was old" book and the most heart breaking, infuriating revelation was that, in her refusal to appear disloyal (in large part bc the Biden team never trusted her) Harris swallowed her greatest differentiation from him:
That she vehemently opposed the handling of the Gazan siege.
That she vehemently opposed the handling of the Gazan siege.
COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?
HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

I think everyone critiquing this as a legitimate position held at the time of the convention is incorrect; this seems like retrospectively trying to lie about why you ‘cared’ when at the time you simply didn’t give a shit.

I’m sorry but I think folks can often be too harsh with Sarah. 95 Ds voted YES bc of leadership, why single her out so often?
She got elected statewide in Delaware. Her path is challenging and this time is terrifying. I think the disagreements w/ her can be less personal. I care about her safety.
